FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS—the 300,000 Americans who have died of #COVID19. National Cathedral in DC tolled its bell 300 times, to honor 300,000 lives lost. So profound and moving.
2) A lot of Americans have died. And we currently top the 🌎 in spots 1-3, 9-12, of all places globally.

1. North Dakota
2. South Dakota
3. Iowa
3) Another way to visualize all those deaths.
4) we need to stop the denialism.

@CDCDirector Robert Redfield: "For the next 60 to 90 days, we're going to have more deaths per day than we had in 9/11." #COVID19

📌60*3000= 180,000 more dead

📌90*3000= 270,000 more dead

We need bold solutions fast.

5) Especially when we have another massive wave of cases coming. Analysis from our FAS group.

Young people have died from #COVID19... by the ***thousands**.

➡️ Chasing immunity via “we want them infected” mantra that Trump WH/HHS advocated is tantamount to reckless endangerment or worse at this point.

Thank you @Cleavon_MD @jeremyfaust @hmkyale @RWalensky
2) because what they did was nothing short of sadistic. Image
3) and they even admitted people would get infected and sick

New—Trump’s Operation WS just invoked Defense Production Act to allocate manufacturing capacity to vaccine, bumping drug TEPEZZA for thyroid eye disease—shortage now imminent.

➡️Hope you don’t have the rare serious autoimmune w/ no other treatment/cure.

2) Look it’s a hard choice between #COVID19 vaccine vs another disease. I get it. But this is what **good govt planning** would have made a world of difference. Logistics is all about planning. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, as they say.
3) Thyroid Eye 👁 Disease is also known as GRAVE’S disease. I know several friends who have it. It’s a progressive illness. This really sucks. thyroid.org/graves-eye-dis…

📍Dining reservations in 2020...

When did cases soar this summer?
➡️June (AZ, TX, FL... then CA)

When did cases soar this fall?
➡️Early October.

Place with major case decrease this fall?
➡️Illinois in mid November

Coincidence? #COVID19 ImageImage
2) The adoption of outdoor dining in NYC also made a difference once we were in the summer and fall.

Face mask usage also made a big difference between states, not shown.

Dining decreases is also a matter of public health vigilance in imposing containment measures
3) Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most places like restaurants not ventilated well enough, unless completely outdoors.

So a new study claims #SARSCoV2 can integrate into human DNA 🧬 genome. Semi-doubtful. David Baltimore, a virologist who won the Nobel Prize, describes the findings as “unexpected” & notes that it only show that fragments of #SARSCoV2 genome integrate. 🧵

2) “Because it is all pieces of the coronaviral genome, it can’t lead to infectious RNA or DNA and therefore it is probably biologically a dead end. It is also not clear if, in people, the cells that harbor the reverse transcripts stay around for a long time or they die.”
3) current study only showed this integration in a lab dish, although it also cites published sequence data from humans infected with SARS-CoV-2 that suggest it has happened.

BREAKING—FDA has authorized the use of excess remainders in Pfizer vaccine vials—could mean up to 40% more vaccine doses! "Given the public health emergency, FDA is advising that it is acceptable to use every full dose obtainable," FDA told POLITICO. 🧵
politico.com/news/2020/12/1…
2) federal health official sent notification to state vaccine providers Wednesday morning. The federal government has not publicly announced the guidance; Pfizer learned of the change this afternoon.
3) “The Pfizer vials are supposed to hold five doses, but pharmacists have found they have enough for a sixth or even a seventh dose. Putting those into use could significantly increase the United States' scarce early supply of the shot, reducing likelihood of a "vaccine cliff"
