1/14 Despite the urging to gather in groups no larger than 10 & the grave danger the #coronavirus can pose from its subtle spread through asymptomatic carriers, USCIS, ICE, & other immigration departments are pushing blindly ahead with normal or increased activity.

2/14 ICE has transported immigrant minors on airlines during the pandemic, despite mass gridlock caused by the surprise, and botched, Trump travel ban announcement.
3/14 Immigration and asylum courts continue to hear cases unabated.

8/14 Even over fears for the health and lives of asylum seekers, immigration officers, and staff, this carries on.
9/14 And ICE continues to make arrests and pack its detention centers with immigrants, creating a veritable breeding ground for the virus while denying any cases have been found.

13/14 ICE claims there are no confirmed #coronavirus cases in its detentiopn centers, but with the vast majority of citizens unable to get tested, does anybody believe ICE, which denies basic medical attention to detainees, is testing for it?

14/14 Even in the middle of a major national crisis and the #CoronavirusPandemic, the cruelty is the point.

#DontLookAway Image
And on it goes. When does it stop? Is this who we are now, that even in the middle of a frightening pandemic we must persecute the most vulnerable among us?

1/5 The cruelty is the point: part 2.

The Department of Justice is using the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to gain new, even more totalitarian powers, petitioning a judge to let them indefinitely detain someone during an emergency. politico.com/news/2020/03/2…
2/5
3/5 Even as the DoJ is doing this, ICE's claim that its detainees are in no danger from the #coronavirus is, unsurprisingly, proving false.
4/5 At least two staffers in an ICE facility for unaccompanied minors have tested positive for #COVIDー19.
5/5 With immigrants locked up in close quarters with little to no access to basic hygiene or medicine, this could swiftly become a humanitarian disaster of even greater proportions than the Trump regime's treatment of immigrants already has been:
Oh, and it turns out that the DoJ wants to be able to hold ANYBODY indefinitely during an emergency, once again showing what the Trump regime thinks of the Constitution.

1/21 As I write this thread, this story is still developing.

What we currently know, though, is that at least four GOP Senators took what they learned from early coronavirus briefings &, rather than help their constituents, used it to line their pockets through insider trading.
2/21 California Rep. Duncan Hunter was just sentenced to 11 months for misusing campaign funds.

Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading.

What these GOP Senators did is far worse, for there is a level of criminal negligence that has surely lead to American deaths.
3/21 Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, from North Carolina, was the first to be outed through secret recordings that revealed him warning certain VIP constituents of a definite oncoming pandemic and economic collapse.

1/3 James Dannenberg has resigned from the Supreme Court Bar, lawyers admitted to practice before the high court who lend legitimacy to its work & rulings, with a damning statement that confirms everything we've suspected about the Roberts court.
2/3 Dannenberg is a retired Hawaii state judge, sat on the District Court of the 1st Circuit of the state judiciary for 27 years, served as the deputy AG of Hawaii, and was an adjunct professor at the University of Hawaii Richardson School of Law for more than a decade.
3/3 "I believe that the Court, under your leadership, has become little more than a result-oriented extension of the right wing of the Republican Party,” Dannenberg wrote, directed personally at Roberts. slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate

1/5 The worst enemy during a pandemic often isn't the disease itself but the #propaganda & #disinformation around it.

Take the 1918 Influenza Epidemic.

In order to keep morale high during WWI, Germany, the UK, France, & the US lied about it. washingtonpost.com/history/2020/0…
2/5 As hospitals were overloaded, army camps decimated, & deaths mounted, governments lied to prevent a panic.

But papers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, making it seem that Spain was especially hard hit.

Thus it became the "Spanish Flu." Image
3/5 The 1918 influenza pandemic infected 500 MILLION people, 27% of the world's population. Between 40M and 50M died.

The small pockets where deaths were low. such as Oregon, were saved by one of the best medicines available: information. oregonlive.com/history/2020/0…

Thread:
If you want to understand SARS-CoV-2 infection causing COVID-19, you're not going to get good info from "science writers" in legacy media. Most leave out key terms like SARS, ACE2 receptors, & gene expression. The genetic basis of the disease is always left out entirely.
Following are some key points to focus on understanding in order to learn how someone becomes infected by SARS-CoV-2, and what the risk factors are for developing serious symptoms (or any symptoms at all).
nature.com/articles/s4136…
The infection pathway for SARS-CoV-2 (SARS2) is the same as SARS-CoV (SARS1) from 2002-2003, so most research done to understand that virus holds true for SARS2. This is a more infectious virus in the same SARS family of viruses, though SARS1 is not an ancestral strain to SARS2.

It is time for one long #Coronavirus update. I have been resisting doing this as (1) I do not want to add to the hysteria & the panic & (2) I don't believe in doomsday predictions. Moreover, things have been moving so fast, who knows what's what. BUT it's time for real talk...
Overall, #Coronavirus (the outbreak of #COVID19) is REAL. The effects on your daily life from the fallout will be REAL. The impact society, economics, & politics in 2020 will be severe & REAL. None of this is Fake News. None of this should be downplayed. (2/
People who are trying to silence REAL discussion are doing a disservice to the public interest. This is a 9/11 & 2008 level event in terms of its impact on domestic & international dynamics. This thread is not about creating panic but encouraging a smarter response. (3/

The Shanghai government just announced some terrible news
The #Coronavirus IS airborne. It can be spread through the air EVEN if the infected person isn't present

Previously many doctors advice was to maintain a 1-2m distance and not wear a mask. This advice is now useless! 1/n
The virus particles bond with oxygen particles in the air and remain stable and float even after the infected person leaves. Entering this room and breathing these particles in will infect you. 2/n
These virus particles can come from someones spit, fecal matter, and other sorts of bodily fluid discharge.

N95 masks with a respirator are more important than ever now!

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture
