Docs I've spoken with tonight say getting someone in a hospital to run tests before symptoms get really bad (not saying this will happen but ie: needing a ventilator) is quite normal/preventative. Not sure this is the case. But lots of other patients took this course of action
Also I know this wasn't an option for so many! It was nearly impossible for people in hot spot cities to get bed space/ get treated in some instances.
But speaking from a clinical standpoint, getting people checked out before symptoms get bad makes sense, according to these docs
And yes I’m also aware that this wasn’t the guidance people have been getting about when to go to hospital. People often got there too late when their symptoms were too severe. Looks like the WH is trying to prevent that.

I've been quiet on here recently. Here's why:

We obtained U.S. cables and internal documents from inside Prigozhin's network. They reveal exclusive new details about how Wagner+co has expanded across the world and why Western officials are so concerned.

politico.com/news/2023/02/1…
We've spent the past several months pouring over thousands of documents and verifying their authenticity.

We've put together an investigation that looks at how Prigozhin and Wagner have been able to expand so rapidly, including in Africa.

politico.com/news/2023/02/1…
Some of what we found was stunning:
-Prigozhin's network tried to open offices in Mexico in 2020
-It led a disinfo campaign in Estonia to stir anti-NATO sentiment
-US officials have drafted a roadmap to rout Wagner out of the Central African Republic

***OK, now for how we followed the money and found that these four orgs (Gates, CEPI, Wellcome, Gavi) spent $10 billion on Covid-- the same amount as the leading US agency fighting the virus abroad

All thanks to @annette_choi

politico.com/news/2022/09/1…
Here's what we found when we followed the money on the global Covid response:

Gavi spent more than any of the other three organizations operating COVAX, the initiative to help low- and middle-income countries secure Covid vaccine doses.
These organizations’ lobbying resources allowed them to access some of the leading officials in the U.S. and Europe with ease. Over the last two years, they have spent $8.3 million lobbying lawmakers and officials in the U.S. and EU

NEW: 🚨Our 7-month investigation charts the journey through which much of the international response to Covid passed from governments to a privately overseen global constituency of NGO experts connected to the Gates Foundation. In partnership with @WELT
politico.com/news/2022/09/1…
We examined meeting minutes, financial + lobbying disclosures and tax documents, which revealed the groups’ spending during the pandemic. It is the first comprehensive accounting of expenditures by global health orgs on the fight against Covid.
politico.com/news/2022/09/1…
When Covid emerged, governments were unprepared. These NGOs were ready. The investigation details the significant financial and political connections that enabled the four global health orgs (Gates, CEPI, Gavi, Wellcome) to shape the world's response

SCOOP: The CDC has found more than 120 instances over the past two years in which people may have died from long Covid.

The analysis is the first of its kind and is the beginning of the agency's look at the relationship between long Covid and mortality.

politico.com/news/2022/06/0…
NCHS is set to publish these numbers in the coming days. It reviewed death certificates that listed long Covid or similar terminology.

More on what the office is looking for/at:

politico.com/news/2022/06/0…
"I have heard that people have developed heart or lung or brain complications after having had Covid. And eventually they have died,” said Jerry Krishnan, a pulmonary physician at the University of Illinois Chicago

This is a really big deal. RDIF is really important to Putin personally and is run by one of his closest supporters, Dmitriev
I tweeted about this the other night, but I will lay it out again. RDIF has an interesting history. It's technically one of Russia's four sovereign wealth funds. But it operates differently than the rest.
RDIF acts as a co-investment vehicle. It works with other sovereign wealth funds to attract investment to Russia/benefits the Russian economy directly. It even invested in a U.S.-backed venture (Hyperloop)

Biden says "let's see in another *month* or so if [sanctions] are working""
A lot can happen in a month, obviously, but there are already concerns in the aid/health world about what this means for people on the ground in Ukraine. A month more of shelling? More incursions? That can have huge humanitarian consequences.
Having covered several mil. conflicts, I can tell you some of the first concerns in the aid/health world for those in war zones
-physical security
-access to ATMs/cash
-food stocks
-medical care
-sanitation

Living in metro stations isn't a sustainable housing situation
