FIRED FOR DEMANDING AIRBORNE & VENTILATION SAFETY—I want to say kudos to bravery of @BenBonnema for speaking out for safety of workers and shoppers at Trader Joe’s. Corporate HQ didn’t like him speaking out on #COVID19 safety—fired him instead. Disgusting. ibtimes.com/trader-joes-un…
2) here was Ben’s letter that set off his firing. He only advocated what the CDC recommended for schools just yesterday evening.
3) Meanwhile, the CDC just came out strongly in favor of indoor air quality in schools! See detailed🧵
4) The former head of OSHA, now points out to Trader Joe’s that workforce retaliation against a whistleblower employee is illegal.
5) I too plan to plan to #BoycottTraderJoes until they reinstate @BenBonnema! Who’s with me? Let’s retweet the top post and let #TraderJoes hear it!

🏒HOCKEY RINK AEROSOL—new study shows stagnant smoke sits 10 feet above a hockey rink. Cool air near the ice and warmer air above create a thermal inversion—restricts air movement from ice to other areas. Masks & ventilation help lower 🥅 #COVID19 risk.🧵

2) To measure how poor ventilation affects transmission risk of #SARSCoV2 while skating in indoor ice arenas, infection probability was modeled for various scenarios. looked at the impact of: HVAC supply air flow, the number of COVID-19-infected people on the ice, and mask use. Image
3) Ice rinks are often shared by 50 people on the ice. At 7% test positivity rate, 4 COVID-19 infected people could be skating at a given time. In both high- & low-HVAC ventilation, the probability of infection increased 2.4-3.5 times for one infected skater versus 5 on the ice.

MANHUNT—Britain 🇬🇧 appealed for a mystery individual infected with a highly transmissible #P1 🇧🇷 variant of #SARSCoV2 to come forward, more than two weeks after tested positive but failed to give proper contact details. Contact tracing is key!🧵 #COVID19

2) Britain said six cases had been detected of the “P.1” variant identified in the Brazilian city of Manaus, against which current vaccines appear to be less effective. Two were in South Gloucestershire in England and three in Scotland....
3) But a sixth individual in England, one of more than a million people tested on Feb. 12-13, had yet to be identified.

Folks—J&J vaccine is not “inferior”. It gives 100% protection against deaths just like Pfizer and Moderna ones. 72% in US overall—but was tested in a different era with more variants. And faster deployment for poorer areas, but worries about perception. 🧵washingtonpost.com/health/2021/03…
2) “Decisions to send the shots to harder-to-reach communities make practical sense, because j&j single-shot vaccine is easier to store/use. But they could drive perceptions of a two-tiered vaccine system, w/ marginalized communities getting what they think is inferior product.
3) “The issue came up on a recent call between governors and Biden administration officials coordinating the country’s coronavirus response. Gov. Charlie Baker, stressed the need for prominent health officials to communicate clearly about the benefits of the one-shot vaccine

Gut wrenching—the fact that a little girl needs to sell $0.25 cent lemonade for brain surgery to save her own life speaks volumes about just how DEEPLY MESSED UP our healthcare system is in America. wkrg.com/alabama-news/i… Image
2) Drug price gouging is also out of control... like this mother who couldn’t afford insulin for her son.
3) And we can’t give free wrist slaps to firms that aided and abetted opioid drug pushers.

BREAKING—A new hope—3rd vaccine is now approved. FDA has emergency authorized Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot #COVID19 vaccine. US now adds 100 million doses by June, on top of 600 mil Pfizer/Moderna 2-dose vaccines. ➡️US now has enough to donate too. 🧵
nytimes.com/2021/02/27/hea…
2) Besides 100 mil for the US, the J&J vaccine has been ordered by UK 🇬🇧 (30mil), EU (200 mil), Canada 🇨🇦 (38 mil) and 500 mil by COVAX nations.
3) While overall efficacy was 66% (pretty good), excluding South Africa and Brazil where variants dominate, US trial efficacy was 72%. Severe illness efficacy was 85%, and efficacy against mortality was 100% so far during followup. This is key. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…
