So... @GovRonDeSantis misled the public, again. @RonDeSantisFL’s “Florida is 34th” claim excludes teens over 14 year old. When included, Florida pediatric cases is 9th. #COVID19

We epidemiologists just want to face palm daily.
2) this was how @GovRonDeSantis cheated the numbers. Image
3) after you properly add age 15-17, Florida pediatric #COVID19 cases jump to 9th (from the misleading 34th). Image

2) The vaccine heading for Phase 3 trial, is called Sovereign 2, in a nod to the pride the island takes in its autonomy. Already, Cuba is floating the idea of enticing tourists to its shores with the irresistible cocktail of sun, sand and a shot of Sovereign 2.
3) Vicente Vérez, one of the scientists leading the team that developed the vaccine, has said that the island could offer vaccinations to all foreigners who travel there.

Let this injustice sink in—

Just 10 wealthy countries have monopolized 75% of all vaccinations delivered worldwide.

Now the United Nations has sharply criticized developed countries for hogging #COVID19 vaccines and called for global sharing. on.mktw.net/3pwhkwp
2) 130 countries have not received a single dose of vaccine and declared that “at this critical moment, vaccine equity is the biggest moral test before the global community.”
3) Of the countries with vaccination, it is dominated by a top few. Image
