“Fake news” - 1 year ago - the same day that #COVID19 was declared a pandemic.

This is why some have argued he has committed “pandemicide” (phrase coined by @Laurie_Garrett).
2) this new study also is jarring.
3) Covidversary...

HT @MeidasTouch @MeidasNetwork
4) We are here in this mess because you-know-who ignored all the warnings and science.

Our video from last year...
5) In contrast, the other guy **Listened to scientists**.
6) Another guy at 10 Downing St did not. Two islands... different results.

Oh, nothing to see here. #B117 is only just projected by epidemiologists in Germany 🇩🇪 to take over and cause amother #COVID19 surge.

Only predicted also by the CDC 🇩🇰🇨🇭🇨🇦 No big deal.

No need to pay attention @GovAbbott @tatereeves @GovRicketts @GovRonDeSantis @GovKemp. Image
2) Also #B117 surge predicted by Switzerland to also take over and cause a surge soon too.

Again, nothing to write home about. Move along. Look away. Image
3) US is totally fine... what the worry when we only have this kind of curve for #B117 %... not to worry. Who’s afraid of a 40-60% more contagious #COVID19. Like, as if America would ever follow Germany 🇩🇪 footsteps. Cuz we are 🇺🇸 right? Land of no masks in Texas MS FL and more. Image

One age group is not like the others. Before you say age 0-9 higher because it’s just elderly lower—it’s not, 0-9 is the only group increasing in Netherlands🇳🇱.

This higher relative infection trend in children age 0-9 is also seen nationwide in 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 🇮🇱. 🧵

(HT @Datagraver) Image
2) Here is the latest UK data from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 showing kids 5-12 occupying the highest positivity prevalence of any age group in Feb.

The working theory of epidemiologists like myself and @SarahDRasmussen and @dgurdasani1 is that it is due to #B117 compounded by low kids masking
3) here is the pediatric surge data also from Italy’s prime minister and minister of health. They attribute it to #B117.

Worrisome trend in just 4 days?

March 10 = 2,886 new cases
March 11 = 3,749
March 12 = 4,578
March 13 = 5,000

Philippines 🇵🇭 is trouble.

Somehow, it’s usually the places headed by you-know-what type of leaders with these surges these days.

#COVID19 (ht @EdsonCGuido) Image
2) Positivity is also rapidly climbing in PH.
Testing is not surging. So it’s a real increase.
3) Why is PH surging? Because the govt reopened fully prematurely. “5 months of progress obliterated in 5 weeks”.

Nota bene: pretty sure we are at this chest-thumping phase arrogantly yelling “we did it” just before the next surge.

Don’t forego mitigation efforts too early. It’s not time yet. #COVID19 #MaskUp #vaccinate #ventilate Image
2) Many of us tried to warn last October before the worst surge came. And indeed it came with a vengeance. Let’s not repeat that. We are almost there.
3) To be clear - there will be a time there won’t be a surge anymore and we can relax a bit. But now is not the time yet. Still need to vaccinate much more. Still need to mask and ventilate.

Oh my....

Tesla’s SF area factory recorded 450 #COVID19 cases in workers following CEO Elon Musk’s defiant reopening of the plant in May, according to county-level data obtained by a legal transparency website. Musk dared officials to arrest him. 🧵
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
2) The document, obtained following a court ruling this year, showed Tesla received around 10 reports of #COVID19 in May when the plant reopened, and saw a steady rise in cases all the way up to 125 in December, as the disease peaked around the country.
3) The revelation follows The Washington Post’s reporting in June that there had been multiple covid-19 cases reported at Tesla’s facilities in Fremont, Calif., after Musk decided to reopen despite a countywide stay-at-home order, daring officials to arrest him.

Good news—Updated Novavax vaccine results.

📌96% effective against symptomatic #COVID19

📌86% for #B117 variant from UK🇬🇧

📌55% for #B1351 variant from South Africa🇿🇦 (among HIV-negative)

📌100% protection against severe disease (all populations) 🧵
ir.novavax.com/news-releases/…
2) “In 🇬🇧 volunteers 65 years of age and older, 10 cases of COVID-19 were observed, with 90% of those cases occurring in the placebo group.”

27% of trial were elderly. So this is very promising it works likely well in elderly.
3) To be clear, the symptomatic efficacy of 96.4% (95% CI: 73.8, 99.5) is against the original virus strain, excluding the #B117 and #B1351.

The 55% against #B1351 lower but still on par with flu vaccines in some years. Still good! We would have accepted >50% when we had none.
