3) forgot to mention, the mayor of the village in Italy 🇮🇹 is also #COVID19 positive.
4) Schools are closed in this Italian village until Feb 8th. But it might be extended because of the new outbreak. tg24.sky.it/milano/2021/02…
5) More on pediatric transmission. There is a phase shift that happens if cases are no longer low in a community.

7) Here is the other major looming problem in this pandemic.... its diverging into two. And the new strain will likely launch a new surge.

9) we are back to SQUARE ONE if we don’t stop these damn variants with tricky mutations that evade even our previous antibodies. Because look at what fresh hell we discovered this week... Fauci is even worried. https://t.co/yqgeNJsgzj
10) latest U.K. data on infection positivity in kids.... much higher relatively to adults.
11) the Italian village outbreak of 60% of cases in kids matches this new outbreak in kindergartners in another Austrian town. Unknown variant yet.
12) Now there is a full blown national outbreak in kids in Italy 🇮🇹 from #B117. See detailed thread 🧵 below.
