BREAKING—Biden @WHCOS says Trump admin "fell so far behind" on vaccinations, that supplies are now catching up.

➡️Plus, #COVID19 vaccine supply will increase 20% because Biden has just invoked Defense Production Act to produce a special efficient syringe, says @RonaldKlain.
2) Full interview on @Lawrence’s @TheLastWord.

3) Today was an amazing day — the EO to create the National Center for Epidemic Forecasting was the epic too! Thx @WHCOS.
4) We may also need to use DPA to make more oxygen supply too.
5) Update - @pfizer apparently now plans to use the 6th dose as excuse to now ship **fewer** vaccine vials.

1 year anniversary of that “HOLY MOTHER OF GOD” night—

One year ago—a painful personal saga began—which became a painful family saga—which became a painful #COVID19 saga for the world.

Hope it helped some folks. @alexismadrigal @WajahatAli @dwallacewells

This is bad—Berlin has just put an entire hospital under quarantine lockdown & diverting all patients after *20 patients & staff* tested positive for more infectious #B117 variant of #SARSCoV2 from UK. Spokesperson expects to confirm more soon. #COVID19

2) This is why I urgently ask everyone to switch to premium masks ASAP if you can.
3) Germany is heeding the dire warning from UK and Denmark CDC on the #B117– It is a beast.

SWITCH TO PREMIUM MASKS—I’ve been saying it for months. We need to switch to KN95, KF94, or European FFP2 masks ASAP. The new #b117 #COVID19 is just too contagious. Cloth isn’t enough anymore folks. Germany 🇩🇪 & Austria 🇦🇹 mandating on all public transits. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/e… Image
2) there are many masks that have 94/95% filtration... Image
3) N95 masks are more rare outside of hospitals because they are in shortage and needed by HCWs. You might find some NIOSH N95 from wood working, but note those are often not fluid resistant. ImageImage

BREAKING—NYT reports that right-wing PA congressman @RepScottPerry played a key role in Trump’s plot to oust the acting attorney general this month!

@PatriotsPerry is a known conspiracy theorist who had suggested ISIS was behind Vegas mass shooting.
nytimes.com/2021/01/23/us/… Image
2) Scott Perry is the congressman infamously suggested ISIS was connected to Vegas mass shooting. never showed any evidence, and even wouldn’t back down from claim 9 month later. Can’t make this stuff up.

➡️Scott Perry is the Steve King of Pennsylvania. witf.org/2018/10/24/sco…
3) Moreover, @RepScottPerry was one of the anti-mask GOP members of Congress who laughed & mocked Rep. @LisaBRochester for trying to hand out masks while in lockdown during the MAGA terrorist attack on the Capitol. Multiple MOCs got infected afterwards.

College reopenings and #COVID19 risk—for those who say opening in person schools are safe—new CDC study:

2) U.S. counties with large colleges or universities with remote instruction experienced a 17.9% decrease in incidence of #COVID19 Image
3) Counties without large colleges or universities (n = 3,009) experienced a 6% decrease in incidence in #COVID19 during similar time frames. Image

DELAYING 2nd DOSE RISKY—

🇬🇧 SAGE warning:

Delaying doses of coronavirus inoculations will increase the chances of a vaccine-resistant strain of #COVID19 emerging, government scientists warn. 🧵
independent.co.uk/news/health/co… Image
2) Sage scientists there was an “increased risk of virus replication under partial immunity after one dose than after two doses, so in the short term, delaying the second dose would be expected to somewhat increase the probability of emergence of vaccine resistance”
3) Is such an increase material? It is not currently possible to quantify the probability of emergence of vaccine resistance as a result of the delayed second dose, but it is likely to be *small*. The UK currently has limited supplies of vaccine.
