🚨Large study of >500,000 people in #India exposed to the #coronavirus found:

▶️Viral spread is driven by a small % of "superspreaders"
▶️Children & young adults are much more important to viral spread—especially within households—than previously reported
princeton.edu/news/2020/09/3…
Important findings in the largest #COVID19 contact tracing study to date:

1⃣Children are "key" to the spread of the #coronavirus
2⃣Evidence that much of viral transmission occurs via "superspreaders"

This HUGE study, the largest #coronavirus contact-tracing study to date, was conducted by researchers in #India and the US and tracked the infection pathways and mortality rate of 575,071 individuals exposed to 84,965 people with confirmed #COVID19.

#CoronavirusPandemic
The huge study shows the "extraordinary extent" that #SARSCoV2 hinges on “superspreaders," a small % of infected people who spread the virus:

▶️71% of infected people did NOT infect any contacts
▶️A *mere 8%* of infected people accounted for *60% of new infections*🦠

#COVID19
This large study found:

▶️Chances of a #coronavirus-infected person, regardless of age, spreading it to a close contact were from 2.6% in the community to 9% in the household
▶️Children and young adults—1/3 of #COVID19 cases—were "especially key" to transmitting the virus💥
The overall probability of catching #coronavirus ranged from 4.7% for low-risk contacts up to 10.7% for high-risk contacts (eg, same household).

Across all age groups–including kids and young– people had a greater chance of catching the #coronavirus from someone their own age.🦠

🚨BREAKING: the @CIA believed Trump ILLEGALLY took $10 million from #Egypt days before his inauguration.

Investigators thought this was why Trump gave $10 million of his own cash late in his campaign but were BLOCKED from probing by Trump appointees.🤬
washingtonpost.com/investigations…
In 2017, classified intel indicated Egyptian President El-Sisi sought to give Trump $10 million.

in Jan 2017, a Cairo bank got an unusual letter from an group linked to Egyptian intelligence asking the bank to withdraw ~$10 million from the organization’s account—ALL IN CASH.🧐
Employees at the state-run National Bank of #Egypt stuffed $100 bills into 2 large bags, weighing a combined 200 pounds & containing what was then a sizable share of Egypt’s reserve of US currency. Four men arrived and carried away the bags.🤔

Cool story, bro.🙄
Max Schlund—Rostislav Teslyuk in #Russia—is a former officer in the Russian Air Force. He traveled w/Elena Kolbasnikova to Donbas to give aid. In a video, they thanked the People's Front—headed by Putin—for help organizing the trip.

In 2022 he bought an apartment in Moscow.

🚨BREAKING: George Santos admits to using cash from his firm—#Devolder Organization—to fund his campaign with an allegedly ILLEGAL $700,000 corporate contribution.

It’s legal to use personal cash, but corporate cash is ILLEGAL.🧵

#WhoBankrolledSantos
thedailybeast.com/george-santos-…
⚠️Santos admits he took money from his #Devolder to bankroll his campaign & the $700,000 in loans “was the money I paid myself through the Devolder Organization”👉🏼ILLEGAL

His financial disclosure shows a $750,000 salary from Devolder + dividends between $1-5 million.🧐
‼️Previous financial disclosures show Santos & his #Devolder firm didn’t have very much money—so what are the origins of his $700,000?

WHO BANKROLLED SANTOS?🧐

‼️Right-wing judicial activist Leonard Leo (then-EVP of the Federalist Society) helped facilitate the sale of Kellyanne Conway’s polling company in 2017 **while she was advising Trump** on Leo’s handpicked list of SCOTUS candidates.

TOTAL #corruption.🤬
politico.com/news/2022/12/2…
The sale came at a critical moment for Kellyanne▶️her ownership had come under Congressional scrutiny for potential “conflicts of interest,” likely creating pressure to unload it even though its value was unclear and she was its biggest asset but committed to her WH job.🙄
Leo—via one of his dark money groups—helped finance the transaction between Kellyanne and Creative Response Concepts Inc (CRC) *worth between $1 million and $5 million*.

At the time, CRC was also bringing in millions of dollars from dark money groups to promote Leo’s picks.🤬

🔥DECIMATED: One of #Russia’s most formidable combat units—the 200th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade that protects Russia’s Arctic nuclear submarine arsenal—sent its best fighters & weapons to #Ukraine this year and was DESTROYED.

#StandWithUkraine
washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/…
During my expedition to the #NorthPole in 2017, I bunked at the same base where #Russia’s 200th Arctic brigade was training.

Here’s video that I shot from my iPhone of some of the troops departing the Arctic base for a training mission.
WOW: Less than 900 were left of the 1,400 to 1,600 soldiers in #Russia’s elite brigade who were shipped off to #Ukraine.

And some of those still being counted as part of the unit were listed as hospitalized, missing or “refuseniks” unwilling to fight.💥
