LETS INSTALL CO2 METERS—"if you measure CO2 in the air, you can estimate how much air one person is breathing that has already been breathed by another." Scientists use carbon dioxide detector to warn of the risk of contracting #COVID19 in enclosed spaces.

2) Belgium announces that CO2 meters will be required in hotels, restaurants, bars, banquet halls & fitness centers & required to be **visible** to all customers.

Nice #COVID19 leadership by @PedroFacon—advocacy by @mdc_martinus. #COVIDisAirborne.
3) The Chile prototype measures air pollution which, in a room with people, would include the coronavirus if anyone was infected since it is known to circulate via exhaled vapor.
4) The device, which is not yet for sale, uploads data to the cloud and issues an audio alert if ventilation is insufficient that could result in COVID-19 transmissions.
5) "CO2 sensors have been around for a long time, but the difference is that they had not previously been considered to confront coronavirus contagion," Finger said.
6) "The focus had been given mainly on surfaces, on contact, in washing hands and it had been ruled out that contagion could occur purely by air."
7) As Chile enters the southern hemisphere winter, health authorities are racing with vaccinations to avoid a spike in contagions as people spend more time indoors with windows and doors closed. reuters.com/business/healt…

BREAKING—Sydney 🇦🇺 just announced a two week lockdown for Greater Sydney because of #DeltaVariant. “If we’re going to do this, we need to do it properly. There’s no point doing a 3-day and then having #COVID19 continue to bubble away in the community.” theguardian.com/australia-news…
2) “at this stage, the best health advice we have is that a 2-week period or until midnight on Friday, July 9, is necessary, in order to make sure that we get to our target of zero community transmission, which has always been our target from the beginning of the pandemic.
3) “Given how transmissible the virus is, given extra exposure venues, we know that even the best contact tracers in the world can’t stay a step ahead unless we put this in and we need to do it properly. So there was no point doing 3-5 days because it wouldn’t have done the job.

Let this sink in—Trump wanted to dump returning US tourists with possible #COVID19 on Guantanamo Bay, same maximum security detention center where US detains suspected terrorists. Trump also thought the US “owned” the island—it’s in Cuba 🇨🇺. Insane. HT @damianpaletta @yabutaleb7
2) Even more sociopathic… he had no empathy for sick #COVID19 patients and risk of Covid once he survived his bout with VIP drugs not available to others. What a tale… read thread 🧵
3) According to the book, Trump also was furious at Azar and CDC for doing testing. Testing! Trump thought not doing testing would allow him a victory.

📍Govt leaders used ‘herd immunity by natural infection’ plan to create Boris Johnson’s 🇬🇧roadmap to purposefully “allow #COVID19 to circulate in younger people”. Dangerously “counter to ethics, common sense & science” says @yaneerbaryam.🧵

2) “Continuing COVID-19 transmission until summer 2022 will contribute to more than 35% of overall herd immunity, according to one model commissioned by the Government. Among documents from the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies (SAGE) – previously unreported until now…”
3) “– one presented to the group in February summarised modelling by the University of Warwick and Imperial College London based on scenarios defined by the Cabinet Office.
The document signed off by chairs of SAGE’s Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling sub-group came

NEW—The #SARSCoV2 that causes #COVID19 could have started spreading in China as early as October 2019, two months before the first case was identified in the central city of Wuhan, a new study showed on Friday. 🧵
reuters.com/world/china/fi…
2) Researchers from Britain's University of Kent used methods from conservation science to estimate that SARS-CoV-2 first appeared from early October to mid-November 2019, according to a paper published in the PLOS Pathogens journal.
3) The most likely date for the virus's emergence was Nov. 17, 2019, and it had probably already spread globally by January 2020.

…some early cases had no known connection with Huanan, implying that SARS-CoV-2 was already circulating before it reached the market.

Let this sink in—the world’s most 2-dose fully vaccinated country, Israel 🇮🇱, is forced to double-back and reinstate its indoor mask mandate. Why? Several fast outbreaks all triggered by the #DeltaVariant, which spread via “fleeting” exposure. #COVID19

2) “If a child has been abroad and arrives at school the next day, this is wrong. And everyone should say that to him and to his parents,” he said. 👀
3) While a majority of adults in Israel have been vaccinated and the country has one of the highest inoculation rates in the world, Ash said the numbers were still far from the 80% figure he said would mark herd immunity.

Delta up 4x in % in New York City—the #DeltaVariant has spiked to 22.7% of all #COVID19 cases in latest @nycHealthy data, up from only 5.6% the week prior. While cases low, 4x ⬆️ is an worrisome % increase, outpacing US overall growth. Masks recommended.🧵

2) do not be deceived by low case numbers while #DeltaVariant is growing in the underbelly of low cases. We have seen what happens elsewhere. Even in heavily vaccinated UK and Israel, they still got #DeltaVariant outbreaks.
3) Notice how #DeltaVariant displaced other variants quickly … it will definitely happen in NYC too.
