Eyes wide shut—this ICU patient with #COVID19 has “barotrauma” from his lungs leaking air into his body. Dr @WesElyMD says patient is *awake* but eyes are swollen shut—AIR from inside his chest leaking out his lungs🫁 through muscles & skin to neck & into face.

➡️Vaccinated yet?
2) he is actually awake.
3) And it’s not just ICUs or deaths… #LongCovid has much broader and longer impacts… read this thread 🧵…
4) don’t be anti vax & anti mask and then end up in the hospital with #COVID19 and get mad at the hospital staff. #MaskUp

INCREASE QUARANTINES? A study suggests that #B117 UK variant may remain in human hosts nearly 2x as long as non-B.1.1.7 #SARSCoV2, extending the potential contagious period from about 8 days to 13 days. This also helps explain great transmission of B117.🧵

2) “The study was conducted in conjunction with the NBA. In Summer 2020, the NBA restarted their season after it was paused by the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The players involved were isolated at Disneyworld resort and were administered daily Covid-19 testing.
3) “That practice expanded to the recently begun 2020-2021 season, and Harvard University took the opportunity to genome sequence the basketball players’ samples for research purposes.

Airborne aerosols in a Liverpool 🇬🇧 nightclub— I’m sure if the smoke cannon was an actual virus plume, nobody would get infected right?

Crowded indoor nightclubs anyone if you’re not vaccinated? #COVID19
2) Yes, I’m aware the UK is conducting a research study in Liverpool. My concern is that we know the #sarscov2 Coronavirus has a tendency to either superspread or not due to the K dispersion factor — the transmission R is highly variable. One study enough?

3) “in real life, some people infect many others and others don’t spread the disease at all. In fact, the latter is the norm. “The consistent pattern is that the most common number is zero. Most people do not transmit.”

This is a stupid part of NY reopening—“if restaurants put up physical barriers between tables, in which case they don't need to worry about the six foot rule.” 🤦🏻‍♂️— hello… it’s an airborne virus!!! #COVID19

2) VENTILATION is key. Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most buildings not ventilated well enough.

3) “Until we recognise that #COVID19 is airborne we are setting ourselves up for repeated failure”

⚠️DON’T BE DUPED—schools often buying junk air purifiers instead of proven HEPA filters. Avoid ionization, plasma and dry hydrogen peroxide—that the Lancet #COVID19 Commission recently deemed “often unproven” & potential sources of pollution themselves. 🧵
khn.org/news/article/a…
2) Schools have been “bombarded with persistent salespersons peddling the latest air and cleaning technologies, including those with minimal evidence to-date supporting safety and efficacy” according to a report released Thursday by the Center for Green Schools and ASHRAE.
3) In the frenzy, schools are buying technology that air-quality experts warn can lull them into a false sense of security or even potentially harm kids. And schools often overlook that trusted contractors — engineering, HVAC/consulting firms — stand to earn big money from deals

WHERE ARE THE AID? Despite 25 🌏flights loaded with 300 tonnes of emergency #COVID19 relief supplies landing in Delhi 🇮🇳 (5500 oxygen concentrators, 3200 O2 cylinders, & remdesivir) in 5 days, no domestic flights have transported them. Hospitals waiting.🧵amp.scroll.in/article/993973…
2) “The emergency aid could save lives. But it seems not to have reached even those who are gasping for oxygen a few km away.
“As far as I know, we have not received anything so far,” said Dr Nutan Mundeja, Director General of Health Services, Delhi government.”
3) “No domestic flights have taken off to carry the supplies to other parts of India, nor have states been informed about their share by the Centre.” Like this one…

Sobering—“It is already clear that the virus is changing too quickly, new variants are spreading too easily & vaccination is proceeding too slowly for herd immunity to be within reach anytime soon.”

➡️ Vaccine hesitancy hurts public health.🧵 #COVID19
nytimes.com/2021/05/03/hea…
2) I don’t like this— “daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.”
3) “rather than making a long-promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in US for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths but in much smaller numbers.”

➡️I don’t like waving this surrender flag.
