New—I’m pleased to announce that to fight the pandemic, we formed a specia group to support Biden on #COVID19 pandemic response, a multidisciplinary task force called the ‘COVID ACTION GROUP’. 🧵

Here is our piece in USA Today. @yaneerbaryam @AliNouriPhD

2) this pandemic requires all hands on deck. It can be crushed only through a concerted effort that engages policy makers, business and community leaders and a public committed to the fight.

3) the involvement or resistance of the public and political leaders will make or break any national effort to beat back the coronavirus and resume life as normal.

📍WALL STREET BANKERS ARE NOT MORE “ESSENTIAL” THAN TEACHERS & 1ST RESPONDERS—American Bankers Association is petitioning to designate Wall St finance workers as essential workers so they can get #COVID19 vaccines before most Americans. Cant make this up! on.mktw.net/2VDFc4z

2) “We are encouraging public health authorities to follow the existing DHS guidance and include financial services employees as part of the 1b group, but we think front-line bank employees who deal with a large number of people every day should be gave priority to, at a minimum”

3) I think Wall St actually should be lower priority for reasons that most of their work can be done remotely, other than the limited number of bank tellers. But even then they often have plexiglass barriers to prevent robberies (and limit exposures).

📍DESPERATE PLEAS for ICU bed for mom via @Facebook—A son frantically tries to find hospital ICU bed w/ ECMO to save his mom—by **publicly begging** on FB. Nurse+doctor from York PA sees the son’s FB pleas, calls his cell, offers to help—mom successfully transferred! #COVID19

2) Question is — how and why have we come to this?? That a son even needed to do this to save his mom is so crazy.

3) at this rate, we won’t have ICU beds or ECMO machines for long.

Republicans bear the brunt #SARSCoV2 infections among US elected leaders. At least 81 elected officials in state & federal govt have tested positive for the coronavirus since Sept. 1.

➡️Nearly 3 out of 4 #COVID19 positive elected officials are Republican. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…

2) “Republicans’ refusal to adhere to safety measures puts not only the elected officials themselves at risk, but also the public, health experts told USA TODAY. Those who hold office set the example of expected behavior. And it starts, they said, with the commander in chief. “

3) “We’re incredibly frustrated, angry, sad and despondent.” Like Trump piloting a plane on a trajectory to crash. “Epidemiologists who know how to steer this plane are pounding on cockpit door begging him to please listen, please follow the evidence. It’s a living nightmare.”
