Sobering—Crisis in Los Angeles hospitals now so dire, US Army Corps of Engineers summoned to solve oxygen shortages: "These 🏥 were not designed to have 100% ICU / people on oxygen".

Crisis also of slow vaccine rollout & half-dose #COVID19 vaccine debated.
2) would half dose Moderna vaccine shots suggested by Operation Warp Speed head work? Maybe but lots of caveats. Here is why and how 👇
3) SoCal is now rationing care in many hospitals.
4) just as bad as rationing hospital care based on survival odds, is ambulance triaging and policy change to no longer send patients without a pulse to the hospital now.

⚠️CRUSH VIRUS NOW OR ELSE WE ARE SCREWED: Denmark’s CDC thinks new B117 #SARSCoV2 variant is so much more contagious (R +0.4 to +0.7) & inevitable that **if any country does not crush the R<0.7 now**, we will be completely #COVID19 screwed by Feb/March.🧵

2) "it is crucial to turn the epidemic curve around and get the reproduction number significantly below 1 in the coming weeks, so that the infection rates are as low as possible when cluster B.1.1.7 becomes the dominant virus in mid-February."
3) Basically, Denmark 🇩🇰’s CDC (@SSI_dk) is so pessimistic that it believes the B117 will inevitably dominate the country and likely the world by Feb/March. And with its higher R of contagiousness, we either stop it now or we are completely screwed by spring time.

Pro-tip: don’t rollout the vaccine via @Facebook-only appointments.

C’mon Oklahoma. No more amateur hour. #COVID19 Image
2) Maybe install more phone operators too. 75+ year old seniors don’t do Facebook or online well. Image
3) Don’t punt to local hospitals either. Image

MORE GOOD NEWS—Dems can now fully use the Congressional Review Act—which allows the new Dem Congress to rescind any Trump regulation or rule issued by Trump WH/agency in last “60 legislative days”—back to: 8/21/2020.

Dems can now repeal them all!
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressi…
2) Can’t undo pardons or Medals of Freedom unfortunately.

But good news is that anything CRA repeals only needs a simple majority — which also cannot be blocked by cloture/filibuster!
3) Good list of regulations to target immediate repeal via CRA. eenews.net/stories/106371…
