NEW—Koch brother funded the PR agency that is pushing a “pro-herd immunity” #COVID19 initiative called the ‘Great Barrington Declaration’. They got PR support from agency bankrolled by Koch Foundation w/ $1.4 mil to support range of science denial groups. bylinetimes.com/2020/10/13/koc…
2) “Documents seen by Byline Times reveal that the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) – the libertarian, free market think tank in located in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, has been given PR and marketing support from Emergent Order LLC, based in Austin, Texas.”
3) “The latest available corporate records filed with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) confirm that, in 2018, AIER paid $510,000 to Emergent Order for “marketing consulting services”.
4) “But Emergent Order itself receives extensive Charles Koch Foundation funding. Its own IRS filings reveal that, since 2014, it has received a total of $1.4 million for “general operating support” from the foundation.”

HT @NafeezAhmed for the piece.

📍NEW: CDC reports an outbreak at an indoor recreational ice hockey near Tampa Bay, Florida. 15 players & staff fell in soon after, 13 confirmed #COVID19 positive. Both teams infected—and not even everyone tested. Only 1 spectator (not tested). Worrying outbreak for any sport. 🧵 Image
2) “Teams A and B, each consisting of 11 players (typically six on the ice and five on the bench at any given time), included men aged 19–53 years. During the 5 days after the game, 15 persons (14 of the 22 players and a rink staff) experienced symptoms: 13 of 15 lab confirmed.
3) “On June 19, 2020, the Florida Department of Health was notified of a team A player (the index patient) who experienced fever, cough, sore throat, and a headache beginning on June 17, the day after he had participated in an evening game; 2 days later, test positive.

📍Trump’s “immunity” is likely artificial & temporary says experts. His synthetic antibodies could actually prevent his body from making own. Regeneron antibodies have a half life of 21–25 days—thus, by Oct 23, half gone by then. #COVID19 #TrumpCovid 🧵 nytimes.com/2020/10/14/hea…
2) “Without replenishment, this decline may leave Mr. Trump even more susceptible to the virus than most patients who have recovered from Covid-19, several experts warned.”

nytimes.com/2020/10/14/hea…
3) “Moreover, the steroid treatment the president received early in the course of his illness suppresses the body’s natural immune response, including its propensity to make antibodies of its own.”

WORRISOME OUTBREAK—this one Canadian gym did almost everything right—6 feet apart, symptom screenings, cleaning, 50% capacity, masks before and after class. But no air ventilation improvement. Now an outbreak of 61 primary and secondary #COVID19 cases. 🧵
cnn.com/2020/10/13/wor…
2) the gym also tracked all those in attendance at each class, masking before and after classes, laundering towels and cleaning the rooms within 30 minutes of a complete class, said Dr. Elizabeth Richardson, Hamilton's medical officer of health.
But it still wasn't enough.
3) “Public health officials are very concerned about the number of cases and the size of the outbreak, especially because the city is not currently a hotspot and the facility was not ignoring health protocols, they said in a statement to CNN.

BREAKING—New records reveal that, while Trump & his advisors were publicly giving rosy outlooks on the pandemic, they were privately giving dire warnings to wealthy investors behind closed doors, triggering sell offs.

So disgusting—They knew. #COVID19 🧵 nytimes.com/2020/10/14/us/…
2) “On the afternoon of Feb. 24, Trump declared on Twitter that the coronavirus was “very much under control” in the United States, one of numerous rosy statements that he and his advisers made at the time about the worsening epidemic...
3) “He even added an observation for investors: “Stock market starting to look very good to me!”
But hours earlier, senior members of the president’s economic team, privately addressing board members of the conservative Hoover Institution, were less confident.
