1. 2 psychological theories, Kahneman’s ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’ and Solomon et al’s ‘Terror Management Theory’ on why humans are vulnerable to thinking errors and how these combined with mortal terror, impede a rational response to global threats such as the #Covid19 pandemic.
2.Kahneman in ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’ (2011) described two systems of human thought guiding behaviour- System 1: An unconscious, automatic, fast thinking system based on the limbic system and System 2: A slower, rational thinking response led by the neocortex #COVID19 /25
3.Kahneman argues that as a species, we view ourselves as distinct from animals due to our capacity to use system 2 to think, plan and act rationally, however in reality we rely more heavily on system 1, often to our own detriment. #CovidIsntOver

So I guess the World Economic Forum @wef @Davos do not believe hand washing and “hybrid immunity” is quite enough. Should make a lot of people think. #covid19 #vaccinePLUS #LongCovid
A Christmas story… I’m sure many can relate to. #MerryCovid
My brother’s family were coming to visit my family in regional NSW from Tassie for Chrissy. We haven’t seen each other for >2 years (pandemic). I haven’t met my niece. She is 1.5 yrs old. My brother’s a virologist…

None of us have had covid #CovidMiracle. On the 22nd my brother’s wife tested positive. She’s a teacher. My niece also unwell. Not sure who was patient zero, she attends daycare. She wasn’t allowed to be vaccinated. #ThanksATAGI #ThanksAlbo. Then my brother tested positive…
They canceled flights immediately with the “positive” news. Obtained credits and surprise surprise @Qantas have been a fucking nightmare. With hours spent on the phone trying to book flights in a few weeks.
Instead, we had family Christmas with my 75 yr old Mum…

Wussten Sie, dass das #SarsCov2-Virus die Fähigkeit besitzt, mehrere Teile Ihres Immunsystems aktiv zu unterdrücken und sich davor zu verstecken?

Selbst wenn Sie geimpft oder zuvor infiziert wurden, werden einige Immunzellen, die darauf trainiert wurden das Virus zu erkennen, nicht bemerken, dass Ihre Zellen infiziert sind, da das Virus das Frühwarnsystem der infizierten Zelle ausschalten kann,
Normalerweise können infizierte Zellen einen Alarm auslösen u. Immunzellen töten dann Viren, aber SarsCov2 ist jetzt unsichtbar geworden.
Long Thread on Health Risks with Reinfection . While the Herd Immunity brigade has been pushing their agenda,we need to understand the risk of multiple reinfections .It is an interesting cohort with 12.29% with 2 reinfections 0.76% with 3,.08 with 4 ctd).doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… 
Ctd2)Clearly the time for reinfections is getting shorter 79 for 2nd to 65 days for 3rd & so on.Also the hazard is not only to the lungs BUT also to heart,blood vessels ,Gastrointestinal systems, kidney , the brain, the soft tissues and bones & the brain in that order ctd)
Ctd3) clearly if you are not vaccinated you are at higher risk BUT only vaccination isnt enough #VaccinePlus strategy is important , the risk remains high for 6 months with measurable reduction every 30 days BUT we are getting reinfected in that period (now 65 days ) ctd)
1) New Zealand, which for so long had fended off the #pandemic with well-planned public health protections, is now in the grip of an #Omicron-driven wave. But unlike Hong Kong where #COVID deaths are soaring, New Zealand is faring much better. In this thread, I will explain why.
2) First, though, let us examine the current state of contagion in New Zealand, a progressive island nation of more than 5 million people. The country reported 14,633 new cases of #COVID19 in the community on Monday as it carries out widespread testing, unlike in Canada.
The story of #Mild #Omicron Part 1
Long Thread -Story of 8 countries
Italy- Deaths due to Omicron have been higher than Delta by miles and almost reaching prevaccination levels .Vaccines were released around end December- Early January in most countries #OmicronIsNotMild ctd)

Ctd2)Denmark is second country- Again the Delta was decimated by the vaccines BUT with the Omicron the deaths have reached almost pre vaccine deaths #OmicronIsNotMild, #Omicron, #OmicronVariant , Also the Danes like others opened up after reaching good vaccination levels .
Ctd3) Country 3- Canada -Here too #Omicron crossed the deaths due to Delta by miles , reaching number of deaths before vaccination, in fact overshooting that number
#OmicronIsNotMild , needless to say the Canadians are fed up because it is #Mild in the media

Some are saying that OSHA can’t act because the states have public health duties and the CDC / FDA are responsible for public health.

I can’t see any other way of getting a national mask mandate or a vaccine mandate, which are absolutely crucial if we want to control the virus.

This was from Justice Gorsuch. I wouldn’t want to be cared for @NLFD_org by a nurse who refuses to get vaccinated against covid.
Looking good, Japan👍
Almost ~80% of population fully vaccinated.
This is what containment looks like (vs 100% Delta)
~100 cases/day, 1-2 deaths/d, among 126 million people
It can be done.

Deaths (n=1) yesterday in🇯🇵
Let me be clear as I’ve emphasized in the past. Japan’s success is a #VaccinePlus strategy, exemplifying the wide use of masks and other mitigation measures. There are several countries with higher vaccination rates that haven’t replicated Japan’s containment
