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.
3) after you properly add age 15-17, Florida pediatric #COVID19 cases jump to 9th (from the misleading 34th).
4) @JasonSalemi double checked the numbers. Checks out - @GovRonDeSantis misled. Too bad he fired good data Scientist.
5) Meanwhile, need I remind @GovRonDeSantis about #B117 surging in Florida... please take action sir.
6) and #B117 will become dominant in Us and Florida very soon.

Madness—NCAA will bring fans back to the stadiums for the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball 🏀 tournament—albeit at lower capacity. But having thousands of fans arrive from all over the country creates #COVID19 super-spreader risks—as well as bars/hotels.

2) The 68-team men’s tournament, which begins on March 18, will be played in Indianapolis before crowds of up to 25 percent capacity at sites ranging from the quaint 9,100-seat Hinkle Fieldhouse to Lucas Oil Fieldhouse, which holds up to 70,000 fans.
3) The 64-team women’s tournament, which begins on March 21, will allow up to 17 percent capacity from the regional semifinals through the championship final in San Antonio. Those games will be played at the Alamodome, which has a 31,900-seat capacity for basketball.

I’m worried about Texas COVID—

“We could all huddle in one house” was Heidi Cruz’s first suggestion to stay warm with her neighbors when power went out. I know shared heat is nice & neighborly, but I think it will likely trigger more #COVID19 outbreaks.

2) I tried not to say this quiet thought aloud but I’m seeing and hearing other people worry too. Yes there is a humanitarian crisis and yes hypothermia kills, but we can still be worried about COVID too.
3) I have no pity for Heidi Cruz. But this isn’t about just her. This is about public health.

📍Pardon my vent about insufficient ventilation / air exchange & school policy. Air exchange (via fresh air or disinfection) is really important for reducing #COVID19 transmission—we should aim for 5-6 air exchanges per hour. Achieving 5-6 is harder, but should we give up? No!🧵 Image
2) President Kennedy once said, we choose to goto the moon 🌙 not because it is easy, but because they are hard—and important. Some think asking for sufficient school ventilation is like asking schools to goto the moon. No, not true! It’s possible. We can do it.
3) First there are ways to ventilate without HEPA filters or full windows. You can even with 1 door. 2 doors better. Here is how to ventilate your school classrooms if unable to open window. #COVID19

I’ve been very worried about Austria 🇦🇹 #B1351 outbreak — the largest pocket of B1351 outside of South Africa 🇿🇦.

If you can read German, my interview with @DiePressecom maybe of interest. #COVID19 #COVID19at

2) Earlier this week... outbreak of an unknown strain in Lower Austria.

Outbreak of 69 #COVID19 cases in 2 schools, plus 20 at daycare centers in one Danish city—all #B117. “Something going on with the infection of [🇬🇧 variant] #B117 among children that we have not seen with the old coronavirus” says an epidemiologist. 🧵

2) Two schools and eight daycare institutions in the central Jutland city of Kolding will remain closed until Friday following coronavirus outbreaks that experts claim underline the devastating potential of the British variant of COVID-19.
3) Speaking to DR, Viggo Andreasen, an professor at Roskilde University who is swiftly becoming favorite 🇩🇰 epidemiologist, questions whether there is “something going on with the infection of #B117 among children that we have not seen with the old coronavirus”.

BREAKING—new #COVID19 vaccine efficacy study from Israel concludes that Pfizer/BioNTech's jab is up to 85% effective after the first dose after 15 days to day 28—and even 75% including asymptomatic cases—meaning it stops infections by 75%! Huge. 🧵

2) The research, conducted by the Sheba Medical Centre, the country's largest hospital, has been published in the Lancet medical journal.

The hospital assessed the effectiveness of the first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine among 7,000 of its healthcare employees.
3) Professor Eyal Leshem, an infectious disease expert and director of Sheba's Institute for Travel and Tropical Medicine, told Sky News: "This is first real-world evidence of effectiveness that shows up after the first dose of the vaccine.” 👀
