I’m a #triplevaxxed surgeon, now sick & isolating with #COVID19. I’m married to a #triplevaxxed rheumatologist MD & mom to 2 kids in Moderna 💉trial, all negative but #quarantining since 3 y/o is blinded to vax status. Wanna know how Hubby’s work is treating him? (A 🧵)

1/?
He works for a large private health company, so Families First Coronavirus Response Act /FFCRA doesn’t apply. He is staying home with the exposed kids (kid 2 is 3 yo & still blinded in the trial). His options?
1️⃣Use vacation time
2️⃣Take unpaid leave

2/?
He will likely test + in the next few days given the household transmission of #Omicron, and then will STILL either take unpaid leave or use our much-needed vacation time. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hey @wregional! How are you today?
I’m at #HarrisonAR, checked in with #solv app instant waiting list to get tested for #coronavirus, trying to stay positive. C, pictured, yelled at me to roll my window down when asked what #number I am in line, after previously yelling at me.
No rush, I know everyone is busy. I’ll be here when my windows up to keep y’all safe cos my coworker tested positive for #coronavirus Friday, and I was last in contact Wednesday.

Side note: my #airconditioner is out. I am worried about being in a #hotcar and getting #heatstroke.
Should I be worried? I have #coronavirus symptoms but I’m pretty hot under the collar in more ways than one.

Like many, I’ve had some extra fee time these days... After rebinging @theofficenbc and #theofficereunion I was inspired.

A thread of Trump’s handling of the #coronavirus (#COVID19) pandemic, as told by Michael Scott. #TheOffice
Way back in 2018, Trump decided it was a good idea to disassemble the #Pandemic Response Team – created by the Obama administration in case there was “an airborne disease that is deadly.” This can’t go wrong! #thiswaspreventable
Trump does nothing to replace this. He plays golf and insults people on Twitter – just the normal things that presidents do right?

Does @POTUS have legal power, as he claims, to #Quarantine NY, NJ & CT? This thread explains who has that power, whether a ban on travel between states is a good ph strategy for #Covid_19, & how such a mass cordon sanitaire could be enforced. 1/5
Re #Quarantining NY, NJ, CT is legal, effective & enforceable. 2/5

Conclusions:

@POTUS & governors both lack legal power to shutter a state
★ Mass quarantines are ineffective ph strategy
★ Patrolling state borders not feasible, contrary to US const'l & ethical values
3/5 Congress has exclusive power to reg interstate commerce (Art 1, s8, cl 3) Cong could restrict travel among states, but @POTUS cannot w/o statutory authority. @CDCgov (42 CFR § 70.2) can't ban interstate travel. Governors also have no power to stop exit/entry from their state
