#P1 American infiltration… over 50% of sequenced cases in Illinois is now the Brazil-origin #P1 variant. It really snuck up fast. P1 is surging in many other US states too, in addition to BC & Alberta 🇨🇦.

(Ht @JPWeiland) #COVID19
2) P1 has been steadily increasing in the US. Faster rise than B117 relatively.
3) not trying to be alarmist… but when you see #P1 trending up in so many states, often faster than other variants, it’s not isolated damnit. It’s time to get cautious. We don’t want a Brazil 🇧🇷 crisis in the Us.

🧠New study shows a drug that affects neurons that form fearful memories, has opposite effects on remembering events by sex—it *reduces* the capacity to recall traumatic events in male mice, but opposite effect in female mice of *increasing* fear memory.😮
scitechdaily.com/same-drug-can-…
2) “Is the first time that a drug has been shown to produce this opposite effect on the memory of male and female mice. The study also evidences that opposing molecular mechanisms and behaviors can occur in memory formation depending on sex.”
3) “The research group on Translational mechanisms of the memory of fear has been studying the functioning of fear memory for years to find treatments for pathologies associated with traumatic experiences, such as post-traumatic stress and phobias.”

Just in—they don’t know for sure where the #ChineseRocket is exactly anymore— @AerospaceCorp reporting that data has stopped coming in, which means it maybe has re-entered. But if you see the debris field (and within the lines), you can report it here:

The percentage of Americans struggling with hunger dropped 40%—now at its lowest level since #COVID19 pandemic began, suggesting the recent flood in aid from Congress and @JoeBiden WH is making a significant difference to families struggling economically.

2) Census Bureau shows the % of adults living in households that sometimes or often did not have enough to eat dipped to just over 8 percent late last month, down from nearly 11 percent in March. That is a substantial drop after hundreds of billions in stimulus checks went out.
3) “Money helps,” said Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, an economist at Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University, who has been tracking hunger rates closely throughout the pandemic. “We’re continuing to see signs of progress. That’s exciting. That’s good news.”

DEBUNK—Medical experts and the CDC said it’s not biologically possible for the COVID-19 vaccine to “shed” or affect unvaccinated people, despite what anti-vaccine activists claim. Thread 🧵 #COVID19
politifact.com/article/2021/m… Image
2) The misinfo about “vaccine shedding” has had real-world impact. One FL private school recently told immunized teachers to stay away from students, citing the baseless claim that unvaccinated people can get menstrual irregularities simply from interacting with vaccinated people
3) There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines cause fertility or menstruation problems in people who get them, let alone in their close contacts, experts said.

⚠️AIRBORNE >6 FEET / 2 METERS! The CDC finally acknowledged #SARSCoV2 has major transmission via airborne aerosols beyond 6 feet / 2 meters, not just close contact. The CDC/WHO & airborne deniers are a year late—and negligently endangered many. #COVID19 🧵
nytimes.com/2021/05/07/hea… ImageImage
2) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now states explicitly — in large, bold lettering — that airborne virus can be inhaled even when one is more than six feet away from an infected individual. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
3) The new language, posted online, is a change from the agency’s previous position that most infections were acquired through “close contact, not airborne transmission.”
