✈️ Outbreak—47 positive #COVID19 of a 188 seat Vistara flight from New Delhi to Hong Kong have tested positive, after all tested negative 72 hours prior. The scariest thing? Only 8 detected before began quarantine. 39 only identified later during hotel quarantine, 22 at day 12!🧵

2) If it weren’t for hotel quarantine—Hong along would have completely allowed these 39 to have begin spreading in the community! This is why border quarantines critical. google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv…

3) Even more scary detail, of the 47 cases, 22 of the cases were only discovered on day **12** of the hotel quarantine testing!!!

Ummm, what if—14 days might not be enough to find and block all border entry?

The new “double mutation” variant from India 🇮🇳 #B1617 is surging fast in UK—5x increase in % of #COVID19 cases in just 2 weeks. Same with the South Africa 🇿🇦 #B1351 variant. When did they increase? After schools reopened.

And keep in mind—it’s rising despite high vaccinations.

2) How does the India variant compare to #B117? It seems to be increasing faster than any other variant in the UK. It’s outcompeting it.

3) I know the variants are getting hard to keep track. But here is a handy shortcut info graphic.

Yup—“Canada’s #COVID19 travel restrictions are an inept, deadly failure”

There is a reason #P1 found Canada 🇨🇦 to easily infiltrate. And good reason 30,000 truck drivers cross the US-Canada border every single day without restrictions. Poor leadership.

2) Just how lackadaisical is Canada 🇨🇦? This lax.

VACCINE CARD FRAUD—it has begun. eBay lists an “Authentic CDC Vaccination Record Card” for $10.99, sold by a pharmacist in the Chicago area. It’s illegal, federal regulators say. But he has sold 100+ already, reports @ddiamond. #COVID19 #CovidVaccine

2) the problems is that the card itself is genuine. That’s what makes this hard when people secretly resell these untracked blank vaccine cards. Without any public registry to verify, we won’t know. We need a registry!

3) “The listings are a “perfect example” of burgeoning scams involving coronavirus vaccination cards that could undermine people’s safety, as well as the success of the nation’s largest mass vaccination effort, said North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein.

@Yale

Let these sink in—

📍Black women with college degrees are more likely to see their babies die as infants than a White woman without a high school degree.

📍Black alumni of @Yale in 1970 are >3x time more likely to die prematurely than White classmates.

2) Racial discrimination correlates with serious health problems, says Harvard professor David Williams. More here: cbsn.ws/32r6LSc

3) “there were 32 African Americans in the original class of 1970, almost exactly 3 percent of the total class. But nine of us had died, more than 10 percent of the total, which meant we were dying at more than three times the rate of our white alumni”

VACCINE IRONY: "It's almost paradoxical, that on the one hand, they want to be relieved of the restrictions, but on the other hand, they don't want to be vaccinated."

"It just almost doesn't make any sense."

Vaccinate = *more freedom* to live safely.
