🚨 We want #MassTestingNowPH and here’s why (a thread) 🚨
It will help identify and isolate cases of COVID-19. Mass testing can protect health workers and measure the epidemic with accuracy. (1/4)
If this is implemented nationwide, we can have proper data on how the virus affects people from different demographics, like age and gender. (2/4)
This data can also help us conclude if social distancing is working for everyone. (3/4)
“You can’t fight a virus if you don’t know where it is. Find, isolate, test and treat every case, to break the chains of transmission.” - @WHO director general, @DrTedros (4/4)

Here’s the thing. Years and years of fake news and sensationalist journalism and people panicking over dumb shit on Twitter made me think everyone was overreacting about Coronavirus and that I just needed to be cautious and sensible when going out. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
Living in the UK, where nothing was being done about it, reinforced my belief that it wasn’t a big deal. But I’ve since remembered that the UK government are absolute idiots, so that argument doesn’t work anymore. I mean we’re talking about Boris fucking Johnson here.
Also, as someone with anxiety, I have to filter the news a little bit, and take it in small doses and with a large pinch of salt. So I don’t have a ton of news apps on my phone and wasn’t seeing the full extent of the crisis elsewhere. However, I was quietly keeping an eye on it.

THREAD: #COVID-19 lays bare the ways in which mass incarceration endangers public health for all of us.
A jail or prison is a closed-circuit environment like a cruise ship, but where many people arrived with communicable illness that makes them vulnerable, buildings are crumbling, rats and roaches, people crowded on top of one another with little sanitation.
This is not to mention the people who work in jails and prisons, who are in danger of becoming ill and spreading infection among incarcerated people and within their home communities.

#COVIDー19 @ewarren @BernieSanders We need a progressive agenda on epidemics STAT! There is going to be panic, an emergency, hoarding and if Dems in office and Dem candidates do not prepare an agenda that is more than Trump is screwing up then Trump ultimately will win.
1. RELIEF FUND: Until we have univ. health care we need an emergency health relief fund. The # of critical cases, meaning cases requiring significant medical intervention, are more than ten fold the number of deaths. For many this will result bankruptcy levels of medical debt.
2. ER COVERAGE: Health Insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage for treatments that are not 'pre-approved' or "FDA approved' as all of the treatment options for severe cases of COVID are 'off-label'

#COVID-19: It’s possible to get infected a 2nd time. People recovered by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart, and when they get it the 2nd time, the antibody makes it worse, and they die of sudden heart failure.

I don't find this unexpected. We had similar results in the study of SARS. Challenge with the virus after vaccination actually made the resulting disease worse. One theory is this may be due to an overactive immune response due to a cytokine storm.
What I find really troubling is doctors in China had to report this anonymously to avoid communist censorship. We are not getting the whole story here. Keep in mind we don't yet know how many cases this involves and we'll have to wait for more case studies in other countries.

#THREAD The #LobbyDay militia rally tomorrow in Richmond already had one planned terrorist attack foiled and is awash in disinfo.

It's a little late to do so, but here's my preview thread for what's going on.
What the hell *is* this event that might pop off tomorrow? Here's the tl;dr from @IwriteOK's newest article for @bellingcat, which I'll be discussing and linking to later in this thread.
The broad right wing militia/patriot movement, particularly in the United States, is the conjoined twin brother of the white nationalist movement. That doesn't mean they have the same ideas about race. This article provides some important background. itsgoingdown.org/ammon-bundy-th…

1/ I asked @LAPDHQ about what they would do about the fact that Sgt. John Valdez was an active member of a hate-filled Facebook group.

Now, LAPD’s responded with how its classified his behavior:

“Non-Disciplinary, Employee’s Actions Could Have Been Different”
@LAPDHQ 2/ We found Valdez as part of our investigation “To Protect and Slur” in which we identified hundreds of law enforcement officers who were members of extremist groups on Facebook:

revealnews.org/topic/to-prote…
@LAPDHQ 3/ Valdez was a member of one of the worst Facebook groups we identified, "Anti-SJW Pinochet's Helicopter Pilot Academy.”

A mashup-up of alt-right tropes, the group was a hotbed of racism, homophobia, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism.
