NEW RIGHT WING ATTACK—Hydroxychloroquine misinformation & conspiracy theories are back. This time, peddled by US gop senators and trolls attacking Professor @ashishkjha (and Dean of Brown SPH). It’s really surreal and crazy this happening in pandemic. #COVID19
2) here is my previous master debunk thread on hydroxychloroquine. Cant believe we are back at this again.
3) here is the RECOVERY trial. But fat nothing. HCQ could maybe even actually increase mortality.
4) Whar about prevention of #COVID19 or preventing illness? Nope.

📍Reinfection worry re-emerging—another documented reinfection case - this time of a 21 year old women in South Korea. There are now officially 26 confirmed reinfections and 1 death, and 572 suspected reinfections of #COVID19. Infection is rare but not blue moon rate it seems.
2) The best centralized tracking source for reinfections of #COVID19 worldwide is @BNODesk’s REINFECTION TRACKER page. bnonews.com/index.php/2020… Image
3) notably, it was two different virus strains. “The spike protein D614G substitution that defines the clade “G” emerged in reinfection, while mutations that characterize the clade “V” (ie, nsp6 L37F and ORF3a G251V) were present at initial infection.” academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…

BREAKING—FDA has granted emergency use authorization for @Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody cocktail REGEN-COV2 (Casirivimab and imdevimab), the same drug given to Trump when he was infected with #COVID19. Only for mild/moderate cases—not hospitalized. 🧵 fda.gov/news-events/pr… Image
2) There are a lot of rules and FDA stipulations for REGEN-COV2 cocktail use though— cannot be used if patient on oxygen (Trump was) or hospitalized. Children must be 12 or old and weigh 40 kg or more.

3) And it’s only for those mild/moderate with “high risk of progressing to severe #COVID19”—and thus need to be defined carefully what constitutes high risk of progressing: Image

📍NEW—Texas Army National Guard has just arrived in El Paso—they have been assigned the grim work of dealing with the overflow of deceased bodies now piled up in 10 refrigerated mobile morgues. It is hard work—previously county jail inmates. #COVID19
2) Previously it was done by jail inmates for $2/hour for past week.
3) El Paso has tried to hire workers for $27/ hour. But they switched to request for national guard instead and got approval yesterday.

2) It didn’t have to be this way if Trump WH and many state leaders acted faster: because we know containment works.
3) and we know mask mandates work too. New CDC report

⚠️Crap crap—El Paso morgue crisis escalated fast. First it was jail inmates moving deceased bodies for $2/hour, then $27/hour job posting, and now Texas National Guard summoned up to help at El Paso’s overflowing morgue.
2) Earlier El Paso morgue attendant job posting for $27/hour.
3) All the while, TX Senator Ted Cruz called Senator Brown a "complete ass" for asking a maskless Dan Sullivan (R) to wear his mask in the Senate. Since then, 87-year-old Chuck Grassley (R) & Rick Scott (R) have both tested positive for #COVID19 & El Paso having morgue crisis.

📍DEVASTATING ANIMATION—Containment measures 🆚 #COVID19 case surges and hospitalizations 🏥 by state.

Hospitals are now almost full nationwide and ICU beds will soon run out. Please don’t do anything to risk spreading the virus over the holidays. Please stay safe everyone. 🙏
2) New York mostly kept it under control up until very recently.
3) As reminder — CDC report reminds you that masks work.
