Dear Mr. Musk (@elonmusk );
You are destroying @Twitter in countless ways. The most egregious are your calls for Star Chamber prosecution of #TonyFauci . But you have done so much more damage -- enough, that @Tesla is suffering as its stock drops & EV buyers turn elsewhere.

The interior of a single virus particle contains a dense assembly of #ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) that package the genome to form the #nucleocapsid (protein shell of a virus). Notable, it has a cylindrical shape that matches the particle geometry. 1/10

As we already know from our first post about Munich’s sewage system it was created over 200 years ago and only happened after a big #epidemic catastrophe in which Queen Therese of Bavaria died. 1900 around 78% of the 480.000 citizens of #Munich were connected to the #sewer.

During that time, all the #wastewater was just added to the Isar river in the north of Munich. The city’s #sewagesystem was built with a small decline to the north. Therefore, it didn’t need a lot of pumps or other technical equipment to channel the #water in that

On July 21st, I’ll go LIVE on the #μltradelic podcast (@UltradelicHQ) to discuss @michaelpollan’s new @netflix series #HowToChangeYourMind. Why? #HTCYM clearly failed to address the growing #epidemic of #SexualAssault within the #psychedelic community. #MeToo

2/ Back in May of last year, @michaelpollan publicly discussed his belief that there is “value” in “inoculating the public against inevitable negative stories” about #psychedelics including “sexual abuse in the treatment room” 🚩 🚩 🚩

3/ In 1963, Bob Dylan poetically asked listeners across the globe
“How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see? [...] How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry? [...] The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.”

1/ @michaelpollan's highly-expected @netflix series #HowToChangeYourMind just premiered! 📺🍄 Despite near-universal praise, #HTCYM is rife with errors & borders on historical revisionism 🤥

2/ Before I get started, I'll give everyone a little bit of background information. @michaelpollan released a non-fiction work entitled "How to Change Your Mind" in May of 2018. Before the end of that year, his book about #psychedelic drugs became a @nytimes bestseller.
3/ @michaelpollan achieved massive coverage for this self-described "mental travelogue" of his #psychedelic experiences. Soon enough, Mr. Pollan became a prominent figure w/in the so-called "Psychedelic Renaissance". In the process, he gained a rather interesting reputation.

around the #patient or patients needs. Thus, if the value based metric is reduced hospital admissions, this, on the face seems straight forth, however if the patients needs are not taken into account but only focused on established metric, costs could (& I will argue often r) 3/

This is of course - how most politely to put it - poppycock. Yes, the official so-called active cases count is dropping but that is not because India has the epidemic under control. New cases, officially, are at 85 k plus per day, deaths at 1100 a day.
Unofficially, of course, no one has a clue what the real numbers are. This is just the kind of false optimism and pseudo-science that today's Lancet editorial is all about. India is shoring up big real problems.

This fetish with recovered cases is a peculiar affliction of those who want to put a falsely positive spin on the #epidemic. #Coronavirus infection is an illness that naturally recovers, (unless it kills). Recovery does not mean a bounce back to vigorous health for 10-15% of..
But India is fast gaining on America's lead.
While maintaining its Number One position in the 1-day #Infections league:
Another day when 92.5 thousand #Newcases of #Coronavirus were reported but the Active cases count fell by 3,140. There were 1133 deaths and of course these are part of the drop in active cases!! #India's #Coronavirus #epidemic in a single chart:
After the Birthday Party yesterday, when the hangover lifts the reality bites. This #Coronavirus #epidemic in #India shows no sign of abating; another 96k new infections as we march towards #6MillionCorona cases by the end of September. And that's just the Reported numbers.
No let-up. #India #Coronavirus #epidemic. Above 95k new cases for 3 straight days now, brings the total to 3 days short of the #5millionCases point.
As of yesterday, the world league table for cumulative cases of #Coronavirus infections reported looked like this::
But in terms of the latest single day cases reported, India is firmly in the lead.
