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…
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.
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.
4) here is the other reference that Canada paid McKinsey over $4 mil on consulting advice.

Still can’t let go of this:

Purdue Pharma is so corrupt in opioid peddling, but Sackler family doesn’t get any jail...

Despite Sackler family being exclusive deciders of the scheme.

And neither jail or fines for McKinsey that concocted the disgusting opioid $ kickback scheme. Image
2) it’s all here. nytimes.com/2020/11/27/bus…
3) opioid peddling kickback scheme exclusively decided by Sackler family. Yet they just get a fine and only have to reorganize their company. Zero jail time. Image

😢I cry for El Paso—Inmates move hundreds of bodies into mobile morgues; National Guard now does grim task; Funeral homes turn storage closets to freezers; crematorium broke from overuse; convention center now a field hospital; lacking gravesites. #COVID19 washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11… Image
2) we must take ACTION not just ourselves but convince everyone around you to act to stop pandemic.
3) this is El Paso... they plan to add 3000 sq ft of morgue refrigeration storage.

POWERFUL:

📌Each marble = 1 death.

📌Each second of the video = 6 days.

Let this video sink in. #COVID19 is real. And it’s about to get even worse in December. An even bigger mortality tsunami is coming. 😢
2) meanwhile Black Friday in America...
3) And it continues. I don’t enjoy posting doom. I’m an epidemiologist— and a realist on the serious risks facing us. I share this to engage the Public to act and for our policy leaders to act. This is the fierce urgency of the now.

BREAKING—New record high of >91,000 in US hospitalized with #COVID19, *205k new cases (*despite 20 states not reports on Thxgiving).

...oh and we also smashed 13 million total cases too. It took just 5.5 days. And yeah, that’s a record too. (Sigh). December 🌊 is coming too. Image
2) But meanwhile in Miramar Beach, Florida... no masks. @GovRonDeSantis also just extended his blocking of any mask enforcements too.
3) One death is a tragedy. A hundred, a statistic. So let’s visualize all the deaths together. Hope this Spurs action.

📍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…
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.
