📍REALITY—Many individuals who contracted #COVID19 ~5 days before Thanksgiving are just now becoming contagious. Even if tested on Mon-Wed—tests would have been performed too soon—negative, but not actually negative. 🧵

➡️ PLEASE STAY SAFE. @Brief_19
brief19.com/2020/11/26/bri…
2) “That means that even many people who tried to do the right thing and get tested before traveling, might still be delivering contagious virus to their loved ones today. If a test were taken today, many would be starting to shed enough virus to mount a positive test.
3) Unfortunately, at-home tests of contagiousness have not yet become common and turnaround times for standard tests are slow. @jeremyfaust

➡️ So please be careful and only gather outdoors.
4) further thoughts:
5) only gather outdoors if possible. Heat lamps and jackets.
6) Here is the rapid testing solution we need. Thread 🧵 below.
7) VENTILATION is key. Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most buildings not ventilated well enough. Thus please stay outside. Or OPEN ALL WINDOWS please.

📍RIVETING—Love this powerful video—what you do to stop the pandemic can affect literally thousands of people around you. Don’t let up.

Masks & Ventilate & Distance. #COVID19

DISGUSTING—Just learned something worse than McKinsey consulting being paid ~$4 mil to give simple advice on #COVID19...

➡️@McKinsey concocted plan to give a kickback to every opioid sold and dispense—all while knowing it’ll cause overdoses & addictions. nytimes.com/2020/11/27/bus… Image
2) I have two main reactions—

First, McKinsey needs to fire members of its staff that proposed this dangerous kickback scheme. Do the right thing McKinsey leadership, and claw back their bonuses. Image
3) and second thing...

The meeting that approved this diabolically plane was **all Sackler family members**.

... just this week, Sacklers got no jail sentence in the big opioid settlement. Image

📍EVICTIONS led to huge #COVID19 outbreaks. End evictions ASAP!

Study found that lifting state moratoriums & allowing eviction proceedings to continue caused as many as 433,700 excess cases and 10,700 additional deaths in the U.S. between March-September. cnbc.com/2020/11/27/evi… ImageImage
2) We need to immediately call for governors to all continue the eviction moratoriums. And for the stalled 2nd Coronavirus relief bill to be passed by Congress for rental assistance ASAP!!!
3) And also for Coronavirus relief to also provide PPEs for our HC workers.

Public health officials: “Avoid crowds, stay home!”

🇺🇸 chasing Black Friday sales: “Hold my beer 🍺 & turkey 🦃 leftovers”

➡️ 201,000 #COVID19 cases yesterday (w/ limited reporting)

(Los Angeles shopping mall full by noon)
2) We are so screwed. This is repeating across the country. foxla.com/news/socal-sho…
3) Folks- our healthcare workers did NOT sign up for a pandemic with no national or limited state leadership to stop it. They can’t do this forever. National strikes of HCW might start if we don’t stop this soon.

WOW. Amazing tool to calculate #SARSCoV2 risk indoors w/ airborne aerosols:

📌Mask?
📌If so, what type of mask?
📌How much ventilation?
📌How many people?
📌Speaking time?
📌Speaking volume?
📌Size of room?
📌Ceiling height?
📌Duration in room?

More than 100 doctors, physician assistants & nurse practitioners who work at urgent-care facilities within Seattle’s MultiCare health system went on strike Monday, as #COVID19 pandemic worsens, to protest working without adequate PPEs and other harsh conditions. 🧵
2) “our biggest concern and challenge is having adequate PPE [personal protective equipment] at work and feeling like we’re in as safe a work environment as possible. Our concerns are being ignored and dismissed.”
3) “The providers want access to N95 respirators, plexiglass barriers in the reception areas, and for the company to discourage patients from using waiting rooms. Also health providers don’t have time for scheduled breaks, and often work days that stretch longer than 12 hours.”
