5) Sounds familiar?—“Matthew Pottinger, deputy national security adviser, told Trump that after reaching contacts in 🇨🇳, it was evident that the world faced a health emergency on par with the flu pandemic of 1918, which killed ~50 million people.” #COVID19esquire.com/news-politics/…

2) Findings from a prospective household study with intensive daily observation for ≥7 consecutive days indicate that transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among household members was frequent from either children or adults.
3) What are the implications for public health practice?
➡️ Household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is common and occurs early after illness onset. Persons should self-isolate immediately at the onset of COVID-like symptoms, at the time of testing...
FOR F*CK SAKE!!! Trump just picked the wrong goddamn fight trying to blame doctors for “phony” #COVID19 diagnoses and deaths. Here are over 20+ doctors who have **DIED ON THE FRONTLINES** among almost 2000 healthcare workers who have died.
SOBERING: U.S. reports over 100,000 coronavirus cases in 24 hours for the first time ever. Smashes all time record.
We have basically lost this battle. Not sure if Christmas is even saveable unless we do something drastic fast! 🔥 #COVID19
2) But we can still save ourselves from becoming Belgium, France, and Netherlands. #COVID19
3) And we aren’t sure we can handle the continued increase if hospitals are soon overwhelmed again, like they were in NYC in the spring, or like Wisconsin or El Paso is currently. This is not going well at all. #COVID19
⚠️HOLY SHIT—1 in 4 medical staff in Belgian city of Liège are sick w/ #COVID19. Now doctors asked to keep working *even if sick* no symptoms. The head of Belgian medical union says ***they had no choice to prevent hospital system collapsing within days***. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
2) One in 3 people tested are coming back positive. Hospitals are transferring patients elsewhere & cancelling non-urgent surgeries, days after Health Minister warned the country was close to a "tsunami" of infections where authorities "no longer control what is happening". 🔥🔥
3) Anyone finding this familiar? Because this was exactly what was happening with Lombardy Italy 🇮🇹 early in the spring. History repeating itself.
⚠️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
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-…
