New: CDC study says the number of people infected in different parts of US is from 2-13 times higher than reported rates for those regions. ➡️ suggest that large numbers of people who did not have symptoms or did not seek care kept spreading it. #COVID19

2) Another report says 6-24 times higher according to StatNews. Will have to figure out why the discrepancy. statnews.com/2020/07/21/cdc…
3) The JAMA report itself says more than 10 time. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

Let me be clear — antibodies declining after COVID infection is completely normal part of immunity— antibodies against any former infection are not gone forever - its “recipe” for building specific antibodies are archived in MEMORY B CELLS of your body for retrieval later. 🧵 Image
2) thus, it makes it very unlikely for reinfection even if your coronavirus antibodies drop later. Here is a good article explaining it by @apoorva_nyc. https://t.co/dS27XxkooD
3) That said, @PeterHotez says ““I’m not saying (reinfection) can’t happen. But from what I’ve seen so far, that would be an uncommon phenomenon,” said Dr. Peter Hotez, the dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. ➡️And that is very fair.

So last week, CDC got kneecapped from getting the #COVID19 hospitalization data. Trump HHS forced all hospitals across country to shift to a new private system not controlled by CDC....

...and it is going as well as you can imagine. As in, TERRIBLE. 🧵 politico.com/news/2020/07/2…
2) first, “The reporting is largely manual. … Each hospital is tasking this to one or more employees,” said Brian Dixon, a public health informatics expert working with Indiana on its coronavirus response. “You can imagine the process is confusing and a burden.”
3) “Some Colorado hospitals are entering the same information multiple times in more than one system over the course of a day, because the system hospitals used to send information to the state hasn't caught up with HHS' additional data requirements”

This is Fubar. The Geneva Convention states that destroying medical equipment is a war crime violation. Yet, here we are in Portland. #PortlandProtests
2) Attacking medical units violates half a dozen conventions and international statutes, not only Geneva Convention but also International Criminal Court statutes. But hey, Chad Wolf, Bill Barr, and Trump say it’s okay! ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/…
3) The claim that, ‘oh its an errant spray’ doesn’t explain the sheer volume of CS used on all of them. This was a point blank concentrated spraying to contaminant and destroy medical equipment. Slashing protestor water bottle stations in DC was one thing, but this is next level.
