GREAT NEWS—Biden’s Labor Department issued guidance that would allow sick employees to stay at home without fear of losing their jobs.

This means you cannot get fired for wanting to stay home because of #COVID19. This is huge. 🧵
reuters.com/article/us-usa…
2) Biden’s previous signed a EO for federally guaranteed right to decline employment that would jeopardize their health & still qualify for unemployment insurance if they do so.
3) The guidance issued by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outlines key measures for limiting the coronavirus' spread, including ensuring infected or potentially infected people are not in the workplace, implementing and physical distancing & masks.
4) That said, it’s is a guideline “rule” but doesn’t set a legal obligation.

But OSHA has other levers for compliance.

💡Great news—MOTHER TO INFANT ANTIBODY TRANSFER!

New study demonstrates #SARSCoV2 IgG antibodies were transferred across the placenta to infant cord blood in 87% of pregnant women with antibodies.

➡️Potential for moms’ antibodies to provide infant protection from #COVID19! 🧵 Image
2) Moreover, IgG antibodies were transferred across the placenta *regardless of the severity* of mother’s previous #COVID19.

(Placental transfer ratios more than 1.0 were observed among women with asymptomatic #SARSCoV2, or mild, moderate, & severe COVID)

3) How tight is the correlation between maternal blood antibody levels and infant umbilical cord blood antibody levels? A whopping r=0.89! That’s incredibly high!

Cord blood IgG concentrations were positively correlated with maternal IgG concentrations (r = 0.886; P < .001). Image

DANGEROUS CONSPIRACIES: Wisconsin pharmacist arrested by FBI who sabotaged 570 #COVID19 vaccine doses believes:

📌COVID is fake

📌vaccine is "microchipped" & would “turn off people’s birth control & make others infertile”

📌Bonus: also the 🌍 is flat

2) can’t make this up folks—that guy was just that crazy.

3) Federal authorities accused Brandenburg, 46, of purposely destroying 570 doses of the vaccine by twice removing a box containing the vials from a refrigerator at Advocate Aurora Health Systems in Grafton, WI, where he worked the night shift.

Dangerous anti-vaccine & far-right groups shut down Dodger Stadium’s mass #COVID19 vaccination site, stalling hundreds who had been waiting in line for hours. LAPD closed the entrance of one of the largest vaccination sites in the country for ~1hour.
latimes.com/california/sto… Image
2) some of the anti vac and right wing protesters were telling people in line that the coronavirus is not real and that the vaccination is dangerous.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
3) post on social media described the demonstration as the “Scamdemic Protest/March.” It advised participants to “please refrain from wearing Trump/MAGA attire as we want our statement to resonate with the sheeple. No flags but informational signs only.

HERD IMMUNITY THRESHOLD HARDER—Vaccine herd immunity is becoming harder. The formula is (1-(1/R0)) depends on virus contagiousness, which #B117 variant is 40-80% higher & will be dominant soon. So instead of 70% immune, we will now need 80-85%.🧵#COVID19
washingtonpost.com/health/covid-m… Image
2) “If a more transmissible strain becomes dominant, “that level of coverage needed for herd immunity would become higher, in the 80 to 85 percent range,” Jay Butler, deputy director for infectious diseases at CDC.”
3) Also hurting this target number is that the new South Africa 🇿🇦 #B1351 mutated variant (and likely the Brazil #P1 variant too because it shares the troublesome E484K mutation) is significantly dropping the protection offered by prior infection or from vaccines (many studies).

Wow. 1 in 3 hospitalized with #COVID19 gets readmitted to the hospital within a few months after discharge. ~48,000 UK patients.

Great animated lecture on #LongCovid by @Dr2NisreenAlwan, animated by @VickiGSP using info from UK @IndependentSage experts.
2) Furthermore, 1 in 8 of those who were discharged subsequently die. And many suffer long term ailments like heart disease, liver, kidney, diabetes, and more. This doesn’t even include less clinical critical cognitive effects. #LongCovid is real. Image
3) How common is #LongCovid overall? UK estimates 1 in 5 at 5 weeks and 1 in 10 have symptoms have even 12 weeks after initial #COVID19 diagnosis.

Lecture again by @Dr2NisreenAlwan

2) During COVID-19 pandemic, working age adults experienced a 22% increase in mortality compared to historical periods— excess mortality was highest in food/agriculture (39% increase), transportation/logistics (28% increase), facilities (27%) and manufacturing (23% increase).
3) Technically these are “Excess mortality associated with the COVID-19 pandemic among Californians 18–65 years of age”. And usual caveat it is still a preprint medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
