2) Whoa- the rate of increase ***outside of China*** is steeper than inside of China or Wuhan! Figure 1A. From: @TheLancet “Nowcasting and forecasting the potential domestic and international spread of 2019-nCoV bit.ly/2GF6gZP”)
3) “An estimated 75815 individuals have been infected in Wuhan” —> this is substantially higher than current reports or ~10k reports by China 🇨🇳 media. (75k estimate from above Lancet article)
4) ...”On the present trajectory, 2019-nCoV could be about to become a global epidemic in the absence of mitigation...substantial, even draconian measures that limit population mobility should be seriously and immediately considered in affected areas...” 🤢
5) The US @CDCgov has quarantined all 195 US citizens who were evacuated from Wuhan last week - for 14 days.
6) BREAKING: US now says any foreign national who traveled to China in last 14 days will be denied entry to the US. The President ordered that this would be a temporary ban on people who could pose a health threat to the US. nytimes.com/2020/01/31/wor…

Epidemiologists who warned about a looming COVID invasion in early 2020 is ~akin to security experts (@DAlperovitch @AVindman) who tried to warn about a Russia invasion for last 2 months! Alarmists were right again. To deniers who said this day would never come—go eat your shoe👞
2) @DAlperovitch did warn quite profusely. He is my #1 follow for all things Ukrainian invasion right now. Trolls came out for me when I shared my concerns last month. The haters can go home.
3) warning and sounding the alarm hard. Damn hard. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

What a horrible day:

Putin to invade Ukraine 🇺🇦

Boris lets COVID re-invade UK 🇬🇧

Omicron ravaging Hong Kong

Danish CDC gaslights about COVID deaths

Sometimes we need to laugh to keep from crying. This is the video we need today. Thx @supertanskiii.

📍Millions of people continue to suffer from exhaustion, cognitive problems and other long-lasting symptoms of #LongCovid. New research offers clues, of the toll the illness takes on the body and why it can be so debilitating. 👇 #COVID19 #CovidIsNotOver

2) “Long Covid is different: A chronic illness with a wide variety of symptoms, many of which are not explainable using conventional lab tests. Difficulties in detecting the illness have led some doctors to dismiss patients, or to misdiagnose their symptoms as psychosomatic.”
3) “But researchers looking more deeply at long Covid patients have found visible dysfunction throughout the body.
Studies estimate that perhaps 10 to 30 percent of people infected with the coronavirus may develop long-term symptoms.”

Let this sink in—Danish🇩🇰 CDC @SSI_dk’s misinformation debunking page was just caught spreading actual COVID misinformation that minimized MIS-C risk in children due to infection. This is disgusting. Last week, SSI also dismissed “with COVID” deaths despite surging EXCESS deaths.
2) there is also “endemic delusion” happening in Denmark 🇩🇰 says renowned epidemiologist @K_G_Andersen.
3) Denmark 🇩🇰 SSI was also recently caught being misleading about excess deaths. They had to retract as well…. There is indeed excess deaths when it didn’t fully acknowledge before.

🔄STOP THIS CYCLE—"Every strain of #SARSCoV2 to date… has been replaced by a new variant that is more transmissible, more immunity-escaping or both. This pattern will likely be repeated..." ➡️Need multi-layered mitigation! Boost + test + mask + ventilate!

2) “We believe the science strongly supports using vaccines combined with public health interventions to slow transmission and regain the upper hand on viral evolution. We must encourage vaccination in all demographics for which there is a medically approved vaccine”
3) “Some form of surveillance must be continued to ensure the situation is well understood and new variants of concern identified. Lack of testing is not only detrimental to controlling the spread of SARSCoV2 and detecting new variants”
