Let this sink in:

Today, UK 🇬🇧 reports 1,564 new #COVID19 deaths, biggest one-day increase on record.

UK is ~1/5th the population of US.

This would be equivalent to almost ~7800 deaths per day if U.K. is the size of US.

#B117 is a nightmare.
2) this is why Boris Johnson says they are extremely worried about also the new Brazil variant.
3) meanwhile US just passed 4000 daily deaths. 7000+ death range in UK equivalent is horrendous!!!
4) Testimony from the front lines in U.K. health system... it’s that bad.

2) “Now, state and local officials across the country are realizing their limited vaccine supply will not immediately increase, dashing hopes of dramatically expanding access for millions of people.”
3) “Health officials in some cities and states were informed in recent days about the reality of the situation, while others are still in the dark.

The Brazil 🇧🇷 Manaus #COVID19 epidemic is getting epically worse. And many scientists suspect it might be because of the new Brazil P1 variant of #SARSCoV2, which has many multiple mutations. Quick thread 🧵 theguardian.com/world/2021/jan…
2) Brazil has been hit really hard already. In Oct 2020, someone estimated Manaus 🇧🇷 already have hit potentially 76% already infected — some saying it’s basically been plowed so hard, it’s now at herd immunity levels (getting there the dangerous way). science.sciencemag.org/content/371/65…
3) yet suddenly mortality is suddenly spiking again after a period of relative flatness. And Manaus is even skews younger than other areas. So this is odd.... reuters.com/article/us-hea…

TRUMP RULE TO OUST CAREER SCIENTISTS—Last ditch effort by Trump WH to enact term limits and mandate “5 year reviews” for career US govt scientists (like Fauci) so they can be removed or reassigned by political managers. Disgusting but true to form. politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
2) “Current and former officials say the last-minute rule could tempt top public health officials to maintain their jobs through political jockeying, at a time of cratering public confidence in agencies’ independence.
3) ““It’s been a step-by-step escalation in retaliation by HHS against career scientists throughout the pandemic,” said a current senior administration official, blaming HHS Secretary Alex Azar for the last-minute moves. “It’s a clear abuse of power by Azar.”

LEADERSHIP—

“The crisis of deep human suffering is in plain sight. There’s no time to waste. We have to act, & act now.

Since pandemic began: wealth of the top 1% of the nation has grown roughly $1.5 trillion—4x the amount for the entire bottom 50%.”
Who else is crying??? ^^^
