BREAKING—Our entire country, from coronavirus pandemic. Another new all-time record 150,000 cases today. Thanksgiving holidays are coming w/ risky indoor gatherings.
Try to keep outdoors. But if you must indoors—you must mask!! Premium masks if possible.
3) and VENTILATION and FILTRATION are also key if you must indoors. I don’t endorse gathering indoors but we know people won’t listen. So the best way to mitigate is masks, ventilation, and air filtration with HEPA filters. But please try not to gather — and outdoors best.
4) How is aerosol different from large droplets? One aerosol study (CDC journal) indicates that coronavirus is persistent and stable up to 16 hours in stagnant air. Typical air exchange every 20 min to 4 hrs, depending on ventilation. #COVID19
5) Masks and aerosols demo. Must watch.
6) we are about to hit our 11th million in just 1-2 more days. It’s accelerating
8) Now that aerosol transmission of the coronavirus is established, we need to both mask and disperse aerosols quickly. Key is ventilation. Japan assumed it was airborne from the very beginning. Hence their mask culture and focus on air flow. #COVID19

📢LISTEN UP—If there is one person in the Senate who is the poster child of corruption during #COVID19 pandemic, it is unelected Kelly Loeffler. Her pandemic insider trading ==> an insider traitor. #LootingLoeffler#COVID19@MeidasTouch@ReverendWarnock
2) Senator Perdue is no better. He downplayed the pandemic just like trump. He is notoriously one of Trump’s favorite senators — Perdue was in the room when Trump called African nations “shithole” places, and Perdue pretended Trump never said it.
3) Notice this super suspicious stock dumping after Senate coronavirus briefing. Quite convenient. Loeffler first pretended she didn’t own the stock, but then had to later refile & admit she owned those suspiciously dumped stocks after all. 🔥 We need @ReverendWarnock & @ossoff.
Sweden’s 🇸🇪 pro-herd govt official Tegnk was DEAD wrong. With deadly consequences. He predicted Sweden’s spring wave would prevent 2nd #COVID19 fall/winter wave. He was ‘Scott Atlas-wrong’. “Herd immunity” arrogance costs lives. How arrogant was Tegnell?🧵 businessinsider.com/sweden-herd-im…
2) Behold Swedish official Tegnell’s herd immunity arrogance... it is just dripping with smugness and dismissive carelessness about people’s lives. (Figure in English, Swedish, German).
3) Sweden's chief epidemiologist has admitted that the country is now experiencing a second wave of coronavirus **despite** previously predicting that the country's no-lockdown policy would prevent another surge. ➡️ it didn’t damnit!!
⚠️MOTHER OF GOD—El Paso nurse’s horrifying story of hospital situation. There is a COVID room nicknamed “the pit” where no doctors enter, patients only get 3 CPR cycles—patients are sent there to just wait, code & die. None has survived “the pit”. #COVID19
2) This is El Paso 4 days ago. 10th mobile morgue to store the deceased. #COVID19
📍Trump knew the coronavirus was dangerous. Senator Perdue & Loeffler knew too. Perdue downplayed it like Trump. Now thousands of Georgians have died of #COVID19, including 1 of every 341 *residents* in parts of Georgia. Perdue needs to be gone. Vote @ossoff & @ReverendWarnock.
2) Total #COVID19 deaths out of total *residents*—Georgia holds top spots in entire country!!!
Dodge—1 in 490 residents dead
Ware—1 in 489
Monroe—1 in 476
Mitchell—1 in 460
Laurens—1 in 457
Dougherty—1 in 444
Toombs—1 in 432
Sumter—1 in 420
Upson GA—1 in 341
📍DON’T CHASE SWEDISH HERD STRATEGY. As many know, 🇸🇪 took the careless “herd” strategy in spring to let the coronavirus run rampant. Huge #COVID19 deaths compared to its Nordic neighbors. But Swedish leaders claim they built herd & will win in 2nd wave. Here is how it’s going:
2) Swedish model... for all the deaths that Sweden 🇸🇪 suffered, was it even worth the improved economic benefit as proponents touted? Was 8-10x the #Covid19 total deaths worth it?
Answer: No & No.
Lesson: Don’t chase herd immunity without vaccine.
3) 25 leading Swedish scientists:
➡️”🇸🇪 hoped herd immunity would curb #COVID19. Don't do what we did.”
➡️ “🇸🇪 approach to COVID has led to death, grief and suffering. The only example we're setting is how not to deal with a deadly infectious disease” amp.usatoday.com/amp/5472100002
3) Meanwhile, 🇩🇪 is investing $488 million (€500m) in improving ventilation systems in schools & public buildings to help stop the spread of #COVID19. Merkel’s govt is awarding grants of up to €100,000 each to upgrade air systems to stop transmission! theguardian.com/world/2020/sep…
