Spring break partying - Miami South beach. This isn’t going to end well next month. #COVID19
2) Not going to end well at all. Florida #B117 already at 51%.
3) things are going as well as can be expected... #B117 variant surging in South Florida.

Why do we pretend nothing will happen? I didn’t suffer through a doctorate in epidemiology by age 23, just so that @GovRonDeSantis can pretend to govern.

4) Miami Beach police is now throwing down curfews and closing highways near the beach area to restrict the spring break crowds.
5) Soooo, the Miami Beach is not complying anymore.

What do you expect after Florida’s governor completely negates any local ordinance by banning penalties on any mitigation mandates?
6) this is very Miami, Florida.

We need to keep shouting that #COVIDisAirborne. It is not a fear term—it is based in science and reality. Those who dismiss it will continue to endanger others and propagate the pandemic longer.

Dr Marr is one of the leading aerosol transmission experts in the world. Listen ⬇️
2) How is aerosol different from large droplets? aerosol study indicates that coronavirus is persistent and stable for many hours. Typical air exchange every 20 min to 4 hrs, depending on ventilation. #COVID19
3) Masks and aerosols demo

‘UNPRECEDENTED CATASTROPHE’—“People are going around saying Brazil is going to collapse,” critical care doctor Pedro Carvalho said. “But we’ve collapsed already—completely collapsed”.

Brazil’s #P1 variant driven #COVID19 surge is beyond comprehension. 🧵

2) This piece by @tomphillipsin is a must read.

Brazil stares into the abyss as Covid intensive care units fill up everywhere.

As Covid-sceptic president continues to spurn lockdown calls, medics describe situation as terrifying and ‘well beyond chaos’
3) “Covid intensive care units in virtually all of Brazil’s 26 states and the federal district containing the capital, Brasília, are now either at, or perilously close to capacity, the institute said, warning: “The situation is absolutely critical.”

PAY ATTENTION—There is one crisis we all needs to pay attention to—and that is the unprecedented Brazil 🇧🇷 surge of the #P1 variant, overloaded hospitals, & sharp mortality spike. If more contagious #P1 out of control worldwide, we are all endangered. 🧵

#SOSBrazil #COVID19 ImageImage
2) I cannot overemphasis how serious the crisis in Brazil is. It is virtually impossible to find any ICU bed, and many hospitals running out of sedative medications to perform intubation with—so doctors are intubating without any analgesic meds. Hospitals are in collapse.
3) I’m not exaggerating that hospitals in Brazil are in collapse. This is the headline of a major newspaper. Image

Becoming pretty clear now that dogs & cats can become infected by #B117.

Also, a London hospital had noticed a sharp uptick in the number of dogs and cats with myocarditis: From Dec 2020 to Feb 2021, the incidence jumped from 1.4% to 12.8%. #COVID19 🧵
sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/m…
2) That coincided with a surge of 🇬🇧 #B117 variant. Studying 11 pets: “eight cats and three dogs. None of the animals had a previous history of heart disease, yet all had come down with symptoms ranging from lethargy and loss of appetite to rapid breathing and fainting.”
3) “Lab tests revealed cardiac abnormalities, including irregular heartbeats and fluid in the lungs, all symptoms seen in human cases of COVID-19.”

B117 variant is now *dominant* in the US. I’m 99% certain that another surge is on the way in April or May. Why? The more contagious #B117 is surging—now crossed the 50% threshold of all cases, in addition to pockets of others variants. 🧵 #COVID19
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
2) Just Wednesday, #B117 has hit 50% of all cases in the @my_helix database nationwide. It’s been exponentially surging for weeks.
3) @ashishkjha is right- “No matter where you live, it is too early to relax restrictions that continue to have a critical role in controlling this pandemic. From CA to ME, FL to Seattle, the #COVID19 winter is not yet done—highly infectious variants are threatening new storms.”

Let this sink in—

A national leader who was a #COVID19 denier who was also dangerously anti-mask, anti-vax, refused to report cases/deaths to the WHO, and pushed unproven therapies, including just praying it away—

...has just died [of likely COVID].

True story. #JohnMagufuli
2) Magufuli was one of Africa's most prominent Covid skeptics. Magufuli dismissed the seriousness of #COVID19 in Tanzania, urging citizens to "pray coronavirus away," believing the "satanic virus can't live in the body of Jesus Christ,"

3) “he claimed his country had eradicated coronavirus "by the grace of God," questioned the safety of foreign Covid-19 vaccines and made no plan to procure any shots for his country, instead pushing for the use of herbal medicine & steam treatments.”

(Sound familiar? Bleach?)
