BREAKING—Ireland 🇮🇪 says the B117 #SARSCoV2 variant now accounts for 45% of all 92 samples sequences. Up from 25% last week, and up from 9% 2 weeks before that. Ireland also loosens restrictions & cases up 10x from last month & seeing surge surpassing even England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. #COVID19
2) Source. Ireland is a lot of doo-doo. google.com/amp/s/news.yah…
3) here is the worrisome animation:
4) It appears Denmark CDC is correct about their prediction of B117 likely dominating by Feb / March. We should heed their advice.

📍On Feb 14 2020 on CNN interview in Lafayette Park— I said US cases 10x higher.

➡️I got hate messages for being a “fear monger” alarmist. Some even spread misinfo I wasn’t an epidemiologist (Harvard, Dept of Epidemiology, Doctor of Science 2007, 🤷🏻‍♂️)

...What a crazy sad year 😢
2) Lots of hate last Jan 2020... so much denialism... nymag.com/intelligencer/…
3) Another perspective in Salon. salon.com/2020/03/27/a-t…

We broke 4000 deaths again today. 2nd time ever. We are headed to 5000 deaths/day before end of Feb.

➡️We need to vaccinate at **least 1 mil/day**. But if the B117 variant takes hold & becomes dominant in US, we will need to have *2 mil/day vaccinated*. Honest reality. #COVID19 Image
2) This is why I’m so worried. The B117 went from 9% to now 45% of sequenced #SARSCoV2 in Ireland 🇮🇪 within 3 weeks. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 is also completely overwhelmed. We know it is here in US and spreading.
3) the more infectious B117 variant will literally take over if given the chance. Denmark 🇩🇰 CDC is extremely pessimistic that they tested 11k samples in just 1 month for B117, and now think it’s takeover be unstoppable by Feb/March.

Ps. USA has sequenced just ~750 in 1 month.

WORRISOME... this is not a good #COVID19 signal in Boston area wastewater.

This is also much much worse than spring 2020 surge.

(HT to @BiobotAnalytics and its immigrant founder @NewshaGhaeli) Image
2) Wastewater is very predictive. It was also used to identify the #SARSCoV2 was in Italy by December 2019. People didn’t know if true but later proven true by November case of COVID.
3) Indeed, the Italy wastewater signals for #COVID19 were proven true.

Sobering—CNN reporter @sarasidnerCNN crying on air after seeing devastation at California 10 hospitals full of #COVID19 patients and witnessing countless parking lot funerals. This reporter has been to war zones & covered bombings. But COVID is next level.

BREAKING—AP is reporting that former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder @onetoughnerd and others have been told they’re being charged in in the Flint water lead poisoning scandal.

Wow. About time for accountability.
2) Many years ago I fought against lead poisoning around the time of Flint water crisis. news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/… Image
3) Some said it was it was impossible to prevent Flint. We know the Michigan govt and fed govt had the data. It just wasn’t getting out. google.com/amp/s/www.wire… ImageImage
