4) Look at masks in action under laser light. Masks and aerosols:
5) Mask and airborne science compilation video
6) Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most buildings not ventilated well enough.
7) we know public health measures like mask mandates work to prevent infections and hospitalizations. But so many leaders ignored the science. That is the greatest tragedy of #COVID19 pandemic.

📌Johnson & Johnson—still in testing. **Single dose** & no freezing needed.
Both expected in early 2021.
3) Three Chinese and Russian vaccines all got early approvals after phase 2 results while Phase 3 underway. This is very different from US/European approach to approve after P3 results. The 🇷🇺Gamaleya vaccine reported 92% efficacy but in very limited cases—unreliable data so far.
HOLY CRAP—Florida whistleblower @GeoRebekah, who revealed that @GovRonDeSantis’s health dept ordered her to manipulate FL #COVID19 data in May, just had her house raid by FL police, seizing her computers that supposedly held evidence of the coverup.
2) The FL police pointed guns at her and her children!!!
Here is the earlier coverage of how @GeoRebekah was ousted after refusing to participate in Florida’s data manipulation scheme. tampabay.com/news/health/20…
3) I’ve followed Rebekah for a while and seen her good work. She absolutely does *not* deserve this heinous treatment by DeSantis. Lots of news coverage. I’ll keep folks updated on this.
SWEDEN 🇸🇪 ADMITS FAILURE—end its failed “experiment” that ignored science. 🇸🇪 had opted not to impose mask-wearing, kept bars & nightclubs open, & just last month, 🇸🇪 enjoyed mass sporting & cultural events. Sweden now admits it needs more action. #COVID19wsj.com/articles/long-…
2) Sweden chased “herd” without a vaccine. It got royally burned by that strategy compared to its Scandinavian neighbors. See thread 🧵 below. 👇
➡️”🇸🇪 hoped herd immunity would curb #COVID19. Don't do what we did.”
➡️ “🇸🇪 approach to COVID has led to death, grief and suffering. The only example we're setting is how not to deal with a deadly infectious disease” amp.usatoday.com/amp/5472100002
2) this is so messed up. The Arizona Legislature will be closed all next week after at least 15 current or future Republican legislators may have been directly exposed to COVID-19 by meeting with Rudy Giuliani. azcapitoltimes.com/news/2020/12/0…
3) Casual reminder that 3 out of every 4 positive #COVID19 along elected officials have been Republicans.
“BUT BUT BUT—HOSPITAL BEDS AREN’T FULL” is the insanest & dumbest excuse I’ve heard—but I’ve heard it countless times from leaders just as @ASlavitt has.
If hospital beds free, should we forget:
📌seat belt laws?
📌Bike helmet laws?
📌Smoking rules?
📌COVID restrictions?
2) But a record 101,487 people are indeed currently hospitalized with #COVID19.
3) And yes, I reposted because I used an inappropriate word, for which I apologize. Been exhausted and frustrated beyond words. But no excuse. I am sincerely sorry.
