SICKENING—Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a 75-year-old cancer survivor, has tested #COVID19 positive after taking shelter in a room, where many GOP refused to wear masks. She believes she contracted the virus while in protected isolation room. So avoidable.
washingtonpost.com/politics/mob-a…
2) We knew this could happen. Yesterday, Congress’s attending physician sent out a warning someone had Covid in the isolation room already.
3) Previously, a video surfaced showing GOP house members in that isolation room unmasked and mocking @LisaBRochester for trying to hand out masks.
4) Here is the YouTube video of the GOP members of Congress who mocked @LisaBRochester, mentioned in post number 2.
5) Who were the callously cruel & jeering GOP house members in that video by @PunchbowlNews— Reps @mtgreenee (GA), @andybiggs4az (Ariz.), @RepCloudTX (Tex.), @RepMullin (Okla.) & @RepScottPerry (Pa.)

—refusing masks offered by Dem Rep. @LisaBRochester (Del.) while in the room.

ATROCIOUS big pharma price gouging of insulin:

This crying mother can’t afford the $1000 for her son’s insulin.

📌yet, it only costs pharma $5 to produce.

📌Insulin was invented 100 years ago by Fred Banting—who donated patent for $1 to make it free for all.

Let that sink in.
2) Insulin is one of the most disgusting cases of price gouging ever.

America has long taken a free market approach to pharmaceuticals.
Drug companies haggle separately over drug prices with a variety of private insurers across the country...

google.com/amp/s/www.vox.…
3) “Meanwhile, Medicare, the government health program for those over age 65 — it’s also the nation’s largest buyer of drugs—is barred from negotiating drug prices. That gives pharma more leverage, and it leads to the kind of price surges of EpiPens, opioid antidotes, & insulin.”

📍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.
2) “we are literally killing each other”. cnn.com/2021/01/12/med…
3) LA situation is so dire, healthcare emergency rationing and care prioritization has been instituted for ambulance 🚑 service.
