HORRIFYING #COVID19 death curve in one of wealthiest cities in Brazil— Porto Alegre is capital of Rio Grande do Sul— with many top-notch hospitals with better rating than most US🏥. And their health system still collapsed under #P1.

Imagine now rest of 🇧🇷.

(HT @alexaguiarpoa)
2) No need to imagine.. here is what is now going on. 17 capital cities now at 100% icu capacity.
3) Brazil has been now inundated by #P1 which now dominates #COVID19 in the country. It is possibly the most infectious variant seen to date.
4) Situation is now potentially getting to a dangerous level in Brazil... very dangerous level.
5) We know the sudden case surges in Feb started because of the rise of the #P1 variant in the exact same region. Look how it exploded!!!
6) Here is the Brazil figure in English translated from Portuguese. This is from the *wealthiest* state in Brazil with top notch hospitals. If it’s this horrid here...

Dear 🌎 friends and the people of Brazil 🇧🇷—the world is watching the horrible #COVID19 crisis—we know you are suffering, under a leader that ignores/muzzles you. We hear your cries.

Brazil may be soon facing an epic humanitarian crisis if we don’t act.

Let’s #StandWithBrazil.
2) After I posted what was happening in Brazil, I received a chilling email—

“Dear Eric:
I’m a professor at University of XXX, in Brazil. I’m writing privately because academics are being chased here. It’s not a matter of poor leadership but of an ongoing extermination project.”
3) “Bolsonaro is a psychopath. All his actions are surgically planned, with harmful consequences for all planetary health. You do not need to take my opinion into account; just take a look at the headlines of the articles printed in the most credible newspapers around the world.”

Mask burning is our new book burning.

Parents teaching their kids to burn masks in Idaho is peak 2021 right now... SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️

#COVID19 #MaskUp
2) Mask burning is the last thing we should be doing now just before the 4th surge that is coming for us soon...
3) we know what is coming too us soon...

Mask denial is related to vaccine denial is related to coat denial. It’s interwoven.

3) CDC director was warning about US surge looming because of #B117 too.
