⚠️BREAKING—Elderly attendees at Trump’s Omaha MAGA rally being treated for *hypothermia* after AF1 departs. Attendees stuck trying to get out of airport hanger, waiting for delayed buses & walking 3.7 miles to airport economy parking lot. So far 9 rushed to ER.
2) traffic jam trying to clear the airport. Frigid conditions in Omaha.
3) How can this happen? Well, the TAC Air hangar is on the Far East side of the airport. But parking on the west side. Traffic jam and no buses 🚌 for a while caused the nightmare. Poor folks.
4) Why am I tweeting about this? Cuz I’m a former Nebraskan. So it’s personal to me. And we shouldn’t be having these large rallies anyways because they are superspreading events. But I pray for everyone’s safety.
5) 30 patients treated. 7 rushed to hospital.
7) Trump Omaha MAGA rally... summed up best by Oregon Trail.
8) meanwhile... at the very same damn rally...

📺 FINAL TV AD:

We were warned about the risk of #COVID19 becoming a pandemic in January. Scientists knew and many sounded the alarm.

And @realDonaldTrump knew, but he decided to “play it down”. So many have died needlessly.

#Vote because our lives depend on it.

⚠️OMG—We’ve gone from bad to even worse: South Dakota has now overtaken North Dakota, while each smashing record highs—each above 1000/mil. If countries, both would be *Top 5* in world. Yet where is SD governor @govkristinoem? At ***Mar-A-Lago***! (Confirmed by source). #COVID19 Image
2) My FAS team further analyzed this. The world is doing horribly now. Notice SD and ND would be #4 and #5. More worrisome is that they are growing faster than many top countries too.

HT to my teammate @euromaestro for these daily figures.
3) And notice @KristiNoem is even keynote speaker at Mar A Lago tonight. All while her state burns, and her being anti mask. As a former SD childhood resident, this is so infuriating and I take it very personally. google.com/amp/s/www.sun-…

NEW—Trump HHS appointee Michael Caputo steered a $300 mil taxpayer-paid ad campaign to "defeat despair" on #COVID19 privately pitched a different theme: "Helping the President will Help the Country”, required Trump loyalists, & overruled civil servants.

2) “For instance, contractors vetted at least 274 potential celebrity contributors for their stances on gay rights, gun control & 2016 election before allowing them to participate. One promised public service announcement, was nixed cuz the celebrity had been critical of Trump.”
3) “House Oversight leaders said that the administration had failed to comply with repeated demands to produce separate, internal documents related to the campaign...

HUGE— A Flu Shot Might Reduce Coronavirus Infections, Early Research Suggests

➡️Hospital workers who got flu shot vaccinated were significantly less likely to develop #COVID19 than those who did not, early study shows.
scientificamerican.com/article/a-flu-…
2) new preprint suggests that there could be another key reason to get a flu jab this year: it might reduce risk of COVID-19. flu vaccine against influenza virus may also trigger the body to produce broad infection-fighting molecules that combat the pandemic-causing coronavirus.
3) “The paper is in line with some other recent studies published in peer-reviewed journals that point to similar effects. But researchers caution the research is preliminary and needs to be bolstered by more rigorous experiments.

Worrisome—Some survivors of #COVID19 carry signs that their immune system turns on body, reminiscent of debilitating diseases like lupus & rheumatoid arthritis. In some patients, body’s defense system shifts into attacking itself, rather than the virus. 🧵 nytimes.com/2020/10/27/hea…
2) “The patients are producing molecules called “autoantibodies” that target genetic material from human cells, instead of from the virus.”
3) “This misguided immune response may exacerbate severe Covid-19. It may also explain why so-called “long haulers” have lingering problems months after their initial illness has resolved and the virus is gone from their bodies”
