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.
3) Canadian hockey is at risk too.
4) This could have been avoided Canada.
5) Been trying to warn about BC #P1 crisis for a while. Very delayed action in Canada until ski season nearly over.
6) This was over 3 weeks ago. Too late now Canada 🇨🇦 - you now have a crisis.
7) FOLKS— it’s time the US now takes strict actions against Canada entry without strict testing and quarantines.
8) And by border entry quarantine - I mean a serious quarantine. And with strict hotel guidelines against airborne transmission.
9) Canada seriously needs to step up border controls. This was how Brazil #P1 entered BC 🇨🇦 too. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Age 15-19 has emerged as currently the age group with the highest rate of #COVID19 in Germany 🇩🇪.

Also notice kids 5-9 and 10-14 now have the highest infection rates than ever before in the pandemic.

So, yeah, kids do get COVID, and kids to transmit. Full stop. Image
2) Is Germany the first to see this? No. A pediatric surge was also seen in Sweden as #B117 was rising there too. #B117 is now found to be more contagious in kids than old strain.
3) Cases are low in the elderly thankfully because of vaccinations. But worrisome still is that ICUs in Germany are still filling up and nearing former record rates.

FRESH HELL—Most participants (of vaccine hesitant Republican focus group) said they would **want a fake vaccination card** that would allow them to claim they had received shots” when given anonymity to speak honestly.

“1000%” one woman said.🧵

OMG 😳

2) “If I have a fake vaccine card, yeah, I can go anywhere,” added a man who said he had turned down free New York Yankees tickets because of the team’s requirement to show proof of vaccination to attend games.
3) “Other participants said they wanted a fake card to attend concerts and go on trips, citing the growing number of organizations saying they will require proof of shots.”

OXYGEN LOW—Two of Delhi's top hospitals reported that their oxygen supplies will last for just 6-12 more hours. The crunch comes as Delhi struggles to cope with an unprecedented daily surge that reached 32,000 last evening.

Pray for India 🇮🇳. #COVID19

2) India curves near vertical despite extremely low testing. Some experts say India is only testing 1/30th of actual cases!
3) the 1/30th under diagnosis is actually the lower estimate. It could be actually 1/42 of cases. And that was just last year!

An airplane janitor staff in Auckland🇳🇿 airport, who cleans planes “that flew internationally”—is positive for #COVID19 in weekly testing. 2x-Pfizer vaccinated, family neg, the cleaner’s job is “non-public facing”. Plane aerosol transmission?

2) NZ health authorities add “The person has been fully vaccinated—received two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine early in the vaccination campaign—in February and March. We know the Pfizer vaccine is highly effective, but at 95% effectiveness a small number may not be protected.”
3) “Breakthrough infections happen with all vaccines. This shows us how important it is that as many New Zealanders as possible take up the offer to receive vaccine when offered it and are protected. The more people that are vaccinated, the more protected we will all be.”

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