New: Condi Rice, head of Hoover Institute, throws Scott Atlas under bus that he has gone too far. Also, Stanford Faculty Senate passed resolution that strongly condemns. "Atlas’s behavior is anathema to our community, values, and our belief that we should use knowledge for good."
2) here is the letter of condemnation from Stanford Faculty senate against Scott Atlas.

Folks—he’s done at Stanford after this. news.stanford.edu/2020/11/16/sta…
3) Scott Atlas’s misinformation is responsible for some of this— many GOP didn’t impose containment measures because of Atlas’s influential misinformation.

CRITICAL—a negative coronavirus test is **NOT** a ticket to freely socialize without precautions—many are dangerously misguided that it is. It does not negate quarantining, masking & distancing. Here is why 🧵. #COVID19 news.yahoo.com/no-negative-co…
2) There is a virus buildup time — called incubation time—until one usually shows symptoms & viral load high enough to the reliably detected. Usually incubation is 5-6 days, but can be 1-14 days or longer. But if you test too early before viral load builds up, you’ll test neg. Image
3) This does not mean testing is bad—if anything we need more frequent testing. But you can test negative 4 days straight and then positive on day 5. That’s what happened to WH staff K-McEnany and S-Miller—4 negatives before 5th positive. Most people don’t have that luxury. Image

Millions Americans can't celebrate Thanksgiving with their family because the coronavirus gave their relatives "cold dead hands".

Taunting people to "Come and take it" is so irresponsible during pandemic. #COVID19
2) Meanwhile, Cruz can help out at the local morgue if he has time to taunt instead of trying to pass a Coronavirus Relief Bill.
3) Or Cruz can help out at the local El Paso ICU with this nurse in “the pit”

👇IMPORTANT EXPLANATION to vaccine questions. @michaelmina_lab explains it all:

📌“why is a vaccine is a more trusted source of immunity, if already have antibodies & T-Cell response?”

📌“How does vaccine give me more protection than some earlier immunity?” (@dianaberrent asks)
2) In addition to Dr Mina’s above explanation, @VirusesImmunity also explains her rational:
3) Further, noted earlier that the Pfizer & Moderna vaccines both showed better antibody binding & neutralization in vaccinated people in their P1 trials, than convalescent natural infected survivors.

Hence, another reason vaccine better than Scott Atlas’s “herd”. #COVID19

📍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.
