WORST POSSIBLE IDEA EVER🤦🏻‍♂️- president’s new budget would cut more than $3 BILLION in global health. Of all things to do right now, this is akin to discarding🧯+ throwing⛽️into a raging🔥in a ⚡️storm as we try to stop 🌍 from 🧨- but hey🤷🏻‍♂️ foreignpolicy.com/2020/02/10/tru…
2) for any WHO haters out there - I don’t think many of you know what they do to help the world. No org is perfect, but WHO go where nobody else goes (to stop Ebola outbreaks in Africa so that it doesn’t come to US), and braving indescribable hardships to stop epidemics. Be nice.
3) if your issues are with Tedros, then take it up with him. Don’t fault or demean the 7000 hardworking ground staffers and countless more contractors who labor in 150 local country offices around the world to fight HIV, Ebola, bird flu, human flu, STDs, cancer, and malnutrition!

Indonesia might be a hidden epicenter: “man who recently visited the Indonesian resort island of Bali has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to Chinese authorities, raising the possibility there might be undetected cases of 🦠 in (Indonesia).“ washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…
2) There was a recent Harvard study predicting a huge missing cluster in Indonesia. Yet the Indonesia govt dismissed the study entirely - total ostrich style 🤒🤦🏻‍♂️. thejakartapost.com/news/2020/02/1…
3) “Harvard study stated that Indonesia's zero confirmed cases "may suggest the potential for undetected cases- given the expected connection before travel control measures were implemented”. With average daily pax of ~ 100, Indonesia should have confirmed 1-10 cases of #COVID19.

INSUFFICIENT TESTS: “We’re not able to do the surveillance that we would want to do,” says heads CDC’s lab🧪 task force . Many labs are racing to develop antibody tests, which do not diagnose acute 🦠 cases—but clarifies questions about #SARSCoV2’s spread.

2) “The world is in the dark about the epidemic’s real scale and speed, because existing tests have limited powers—and testing is far too spotty. “We are underestimating how common this infection is,” cautions Jeremy Farrar, head of the Wellcome Trust.”
3) Viral load even after symptoms disappear: Clemens Wendtner, who has been treating some of the German patients, said that of 4 #COVID19 patients he had been treating for four weeks, 3 were still PCR-positive even though based on symptoms they would have [seemed cleared].

Super contradictory (but AWESOME) WHO press conference about China’s changing case definition of #COVID19. There is a weird spin by that staff member. But Dr Tedros immediately then *amazingly* contradicts his staff and says “including mild asymptomatic cases is a good idea”!!!😂
2) For context what this is about: 2 days ago China seems to have changed the case definition by dropping lab positive #COVID19 tests if they have no symptoms (lowers case count). WHO was caught off guard, and responded today, but Tedros then contradicted!
3) To be fair to Tedros, he did the right thing, and he told us how he really feels about the China case definition (which tightened it), while Tedros advocated for more asymptomatic cases to be included. He contradicted China indirectly—and thus, I thank Tedros for his honesty!

Things are calm right now, protest became a street party for a little while to let people rest up before marching more. #ActeXXVIII #Acte28 #GiletsJaunes
This march seems to be wrapping up, I think the police and the yellow vests kinda kept their distance to save their strength for tomorrow. So thankfully no injuries today. #ActeXXVIII #Acte28 #GiletsJaunes
Again, it's fucking bizarre that there was almost zero police presence today. I only saw about a dozen riot cops and another half dozen cops in street gear

#NEW: Rick Gates told Mueller that he and Manafort shared Trump Campaign Polling Data in 2016 w/ Konstantin Kilimnik, who has ties to Russian Intelligence.

In new unsealed court docs, it was revealed that Gates was at least one source for the revelation.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
#BREAKING: In new court filing, it was revealed that Konstantin Kilimnik...WAS IN DC FOR THE INAUGURATION.

The Manafort and Gates associate, with ties to Russian Intelligence, met with Manafort about the "Russia-Ukraine peace plan."

#REDFLAG: In court transcripts, Andrew Weissman, senior Mueller prosecutor, suggested Konstantin Kilimnik's relationship w/ Manafort & Gates...TIES DIRECTLY TO #CONSPIRACY/COLLUSION.

“This goes...very much to the heart of what the [SCO] is investigating.”

Right then

Let's have another bash at unpicking what's actually getting decided in #Brexit

1/
Listen to the radio or TV, read stuff online, and it's all 'Chequers this', 'no-deal that', 'Northern Ireland the other' and frankly it's confusing, not least because a lot of media are getting confused

2/
The way through this is to remember that there are several parts to 'Brexit', which are linked, but still distinct

1. Since twitter deleted my Smallpox Thread, I'm doing it again. It's obviously important info they don't want you to see.
2. Smallpox was a 18th and 19th Century “filth disease”
Smallpox, cholera, plague, yellow fever, typhus, typhoid and others are a group of infections known as ‘filth diseases.” All were cleared away by improving hygiene and sanitary living conditions.
3. New York City
During the year, the City removed of 20,000 dead horses, mules, donkeys, cattle from the streets. The department also removed nearly half a million
smaller animals such as pigs, hogs, calves, and sheep

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
