PROPER WAY TO KNOT & FOLD SURGICAL MASKS, per new CDC guidelines (see 🧵 below for details why).

Special thanks to Dr Rabeeh Bahrampourian. #COVID19 #maskup
2) Good Morning America also has a great surgical mask folding demo.
3) Please read the new CDC guidelines on make. Note there is a surprising finding in post #19.
4) This is also why I advised to people to switch to premium masks that has enhanced filtration. Just make sure snug fit. See 🧵 for details.

⚠️REINFECTION WARNING from the WHO.

“We are now getting reports of people getting reinfected with a new variant—from 🇿🇦 (#B1351)—suggesting people who’ve had prior infection could get infected again.” says Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan. #COVID19
2) This comes on the heels of troubling data I highlighted last week from the placebo group of the Novavax 🇿🇦 trial that that people previously infected and have #COVID19 antibodies (seropositive) has no protection for #B1351 variant reinfection— not even for severe disease!
3) Last month, South Africa’s CDC also warned about likelihood of reinfection risk because of the lower virus neutralization seen by the E484K mutation in the #B1351 variant.

Vaccinations have gone from 900k per day to now over 1.5 million.

I think Biden’s team under @aslavitt46 & @JeffZients @WHCOVIDResponse can push it to 2 million by the end of Feb / early March, and hopefully 3 million a day by mid April.

Let’s do it. #COVID19 (HT @CAPAction) Image
2) This is building back better.
3) These PSA campaigns with @Adweek and @WarnerMedia and @GalGadot are also effective.

Moderna says it has 631.5 mil doses of #COVID19 vaccines on order, of which a whopping 613 million are committed to rich countries like 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇯🇵 🇨🇦 🇰🇷🇨🇭🇬🇧 🇮🇱—almost none to developing countries. For COVAX, Moderna vaccine not listed among providers. Sad.
investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/… Image
2) Moderna says it has more countries not disclosed. Why? Poor countries likely wouldn’t hide it. The complete absence of Moderna from discounted COVAX vaccine providers shows where its values for humanity are. @moderna_tx — show you care. Donate to COVAX. gavi.org/sites/default/…
3) While most of COVAX vaccines to developing countries are Oxford AstraZeneca vaccines, Pfizer is also among them, even though it has ultra cold chain requirements. Moderna doesn’t need ultra cold storage. So @moderna_tx has no excuse. gavi.org/sites/default/… Image

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
aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/12…
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.
