Watching—new #LambdaVariant now found in 30 countries including 🇬🇧. “The Lambda originated from Peru, with the highest mortality rate in the world.” Some scientists are worried lambda may be “more infectious than Delta variant”. Still watching. #COVID19 thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…
3) Delta is still a bigger thread than Lambda. A grenade in hand with the pin pulled (Delta) is more dangerous than an unknown possible-grenade-looking variant in the sky (Lambda). See thread 🧵
CODE BLACK—2 more @NHSuk hospitals in Scotland now declaring “code black” due to #COVID19 putting hospital at capacity limit, postponing non-urgent elective operations, as #DeltaVariant cases and hospital admissions soar. 3 Scottish hospitals maxed out now.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/b…
2) Scotland is ~50% fully vaccinated. Yet it’s still seeing hospitalizations rise. Scotland has actually more cases per capita than England… and this is hospitalizations meanwhile in England…
3) Are ICU / mechanical ventilation beds also soaring in England? Yes…
📍Hospital “OVERWHELMED” & “out of ventilators” & hospital staff are “exhausted” as #DeltaVariant hospitalizations continue to surge in Springfield, Missouri. Hospital trying to borrow ventilators, as #COVID19 spikes.
2) The hospital crisis running out of ventilators is very 2020 deja Vu. That’s because #DeltaVariant is basically a 2.0 virus that makes us enter a new phase of the pandemic. #DeltaVariant is now 51% dominant in the Us for the first time… see 🧵
3) fully vaccinated in Missouri is only 39%. Consider that the #DeltaVariant is incredibly transmissible and it’s causing surges even in 50% fully vaccinated UK and 60% fully vaccinated Israel…. A lot more Us states are vulnerable to delta.
Erectile dysfunction—Inflamed blood vessels in the body triggered by #COVID19 may be causing erectile dysfunction in some male patients— #LongCovid no joke.
Coronavirus can damage blood vessels & then affects parts of the body the vessels supply. 🧵 independent.co.uk/news/health/lo…
2) Subtitle: Delta makes unvaxxed alpha males feel beta? 🤷🏻♂️
3) We need more of this erectile dysfunction messaging for all the vaccine resistant men out there on the sidelines.
A dangerously misleading “study” that claims masks cause kids CO2 damage… COMPLETE HORSESHIT—what author Walach did was actually measure the temporary “dead space” inside the mask. Dead space in a mask or snorkel 🤿 is not most of the air inhaled! @JAMA_current needs to retract!
2) this study author previously wrote anti lockdown, anti vax, and of course anti mask papers. The study got published due to horribly lazy peer review. Thanks to @trishgreenhalgh for writing to editors of @JAMAPediatrics- hopefully editor @DAChristakis will retract it soon!!!
3) wow— the author, Walach, of the bad CO2 mask misinfo paper has now been “terminated” from his university for another junk study. Now can @JAMAPediatrics retract his other damn nonsense paper?? Cmon @DAChristakis— time for your team to retract ASAP. thx again @trishgreenhalgh
📍MILESTONE—The #DeltaVariant has just become the new reigning variant—now 51.7% dominant in US, up from 30% just 2 weeks ago. #DeltaVariant is the world’s fastest #COVID19 variant to date, >4x higher hospitalization risk, & more partial vaccine evasive.🧵 covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
2) the #DeltaVariant (dark orange) is particularly surging in the Midwest, parts of the South, and in southwest.
3) The #DeltaVariant is particularly 1 dose vaccine evasive. Only 18-30% with one dose, much lower than before. Two doses better much much weaker. Scotland found 79% two dose Pfizer efficacy for #DeltaVariant infection, while Israel found 64-70%.
