Troublesome—the alarming outbreak of #B1351 variant in Tyrol state of Austria 🇦🇹 is growing. Now 430 confirmed and suspected cases of the variant from 🇿🇦—at least 139 are active cases. 🇦🇹 announced mass testing of everyone in Tyrol. #B1351TyrolSub #COVID19

2) The #B1351 epidemic has been growing for a few days. #B1351TyrolSub
3) Austria finally imposing an internal travel limits, but it won’t start for another day or so. Austria military will be conducting the mass testing in Tyrol. Earlier...
4) Austria had been heavily relying on the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine. But that was recently shown to be poor for mild and moderate #b1351 variant cases in South Africa. Initially it was good in SA, until B1351 showed up and dominated.

Concerning if true—the coronavirus variant #P1 identified in the Brazil 🇧🇷 Amazon may be **3 times more contagious** but early analysis suggests vaccines are still effective against it, 🇧🇷 health minister said, albeit not published yet. #COVID19

2) Brazil began immunisations with vaccines made by China’s Sinovac Biotech and Britain’s AstraZeneca about three weeks ago. Pazuello did not explain how their effectiveness against the Manaus variant was analysed.
3) “Thank God, we had clear news from the analysis that the vaccines still have an effect against this variant,” Pazuello said. “But it is more contagious. By our analysis, it is three time more contagious.”

📍Wealthy vs poor vaccination gaps: In California, 156 shots have been given to residents in richest areas for every 100 vaccines in poorest counties. Connecticut, California, Florida, New Jersey, & Mississippi have the most glaring vaccine wealth gaps.
statnews.com/2021/02/11/cov…
2) In Washington, D.C., the vaccination rate in the wealthiest two wards is more than double that in the two least wealthy.
“We’re seeing individuals who have privilege and access who are edging out the people who don’t,”
3) Analysis also reveals that some states appear to be distributing vaccines more equitably than others. Among states with the greatest wealth gaps, Texas, Tennessee, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, & Illinois did not show a significant county-level income divide in vaccination rates.

LEADERSHIP—Victoria, 🇦🇺 found **5** #COVID19 cases, and immediately triggers circuit breaker lockdown until at least Feb 17th.

This all for just 5 cases. That is the #ZeroCovid approach. Zero tolerance, fast action... to reap the rewards on the other side. Image
2) Here are the detailed lockdown rules. Only essential businesses open. Restaurants only for take away service.
3) And immediately remote home learning.

School event in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Dec 2020. @Bridgetpee

This is what we could’ve had... and can still have if we go for full suppression, and not give up halfway through partial mitigation. #ZeroCovid is possible.

(Vietnam 🇻🇳 also #COVIDzero, and it’s not an island) Image
2) we can have barbecue cookouts again with people. We can have all that if we follow the science of #ZeroCovid advocated by @yaneerbaryam and @CovidActionGrp and @devisridhar and @IndependentSage and other countless experts.
3) Do we want that hot mess above? Or do we want #ZeroCovid calm below? Image

📍This is all our future if we don’t stop the #B117 variant worldwide. I cannot stress enough —#B117 is here and can spawn a new fresh pandemic wave in April if we don’t act.

Alberta 🇨🇦 is a tip of the iceberg. Germany 🇩🇪 is seeing #B117 surge, Denmark 🇩🇰, Florida, & more.
2) And yes, the more infectious #B117 in Florida. And it’s growing fast. Already 10% if all cases. See 🧵
3) Florida is on a bad pace for domination by #B117 earlier than any other state.

BREAKING—new Biden announcement, “Just this afternoon we signed final contracts for 100 million more Moderna & 100 million more Pfizer vaccines.”

Also, 100 million previously slated for late June will now be delivered in late May!! #COVID19 #COVIDVaccine
2) We are on a good pace at 1.5 mil a day. But we need to hit 3 million to stay ahead of #B117 variant. bloomberg.com/graphics/covid… Image
3) Globally, US has done 14 shot per 100 people. Good. But Israel 🇮🇱 is at 65 already. Image
