📍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.

HT @KCTV5 @SavannahKCTV5 @JoeChiodo
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.
4) there are literally thousands of US counties with less than 50% vaccinated — vast majority in fact. And consider that Israel is 60% vaccinated and still seeing surge of #DeltaVariant. Herd immunity is very far off— this is why we still need to mask and ventilate.
5) Worse, new #COVID19 per capita case rates are now running nearly 50% higher in Trump voting counties than in Biden voting counties over the last 14 days. The main difference is vaccinations.

Figures by @charles_gaba. acasignups.net/21/07/07/tired…
6) Consider that UK is more vaccinated than the US. They are seeing hospitalization surging due to #DeltaVariant in all regions of England as well as Scotland.
7) All of these regions are more vaccinated than Missouri. Thus, countless US states extremely vulnerable to #DeltaVariant hospitalization surges.

Schools without rules for masks? Without fresh air ventilation / disinfection / air exchange minimum? Without testing? With vaccination for teachers? While #DeltaVariant soaring? ➡️ CDC is making another grave mistake. Kids need safe schools! #COVID19 🧵

2) I need a few hours to mull and fume over all this. Meantime, please add VENTILATION and AIR DISINFECTION for the love of god!!! #COVID19

📍Think of the children—Canadian govt’s most representative study investigating how many have #SARSCoV2 antibodies says—kids had highest infection rates of all age groups. Why is this key? Kids are our future. 1 in 12 kids getting #LongCovid too risky. 🧵

2) “One of the most interesting findings is the fact that seniors – those not in long-term care – were not the ones to have had the most SARS-CoV-2 infections in Canada,” says Dr. Catherine Hankins.
3) “Younger age groups – and especially children and adolescents – had higher rates of antibodies in their blood suggesting a past SARS-CoV-2 infection.”

NEW—Booster authorization sought by Pfizer Inc from FDA for a 3rd dose of its #COVID19 vaccine within the next month, “based on evidence of greater risk of reinfection 6 months after inoculation and the spread of the highly contagious #DeltaVariant”.
reuters.com/business/healt…
2) This comes as 2 doses of Pfizer seeing efficacy drop in Israel. 3rd dose already planned by UK - shown to be effective.
3) Moderna will likely seek another booster dose in the near future too it sounds like. ctvnews.ca/health/coronav…

📍Let this sink in—currently 43 #COVID19 hospitalized in Sydney🇦🇺, 10 of whom are in ICU. 4 of whom require ventilation. ➡️“Of the 10 people in ICU, **one is age ~20s**. One is in their 30s. One is in their 50s”. That is the serious #DeltaVariant folks. 🧵
news.com.au/national/nsw-a… Image
2) “We have 14 people admitted to hospital at the moment with Covid-19 under the age of 55, and of those, seven are under the age of 35”. Image
3) Australia and others be warned - this same thing is happening in the US and UK and even Israel where they are more heavily vaccinated.

📍Holy cow—the insane “logic that more people infected is better is **MORAL EMPTINESS and EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUPIDITY**” is the best critique of @sajidjavid & @BorisJohnson’s “living with the virus” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 mass infection strategy. Thank you @DrMikeRyan. #COVID19
2) Reminder— Pandemicidal policies of encouraging mass infection is complete and utter lunacy. @CMO_England should also be ashamed of himself for going along with it.
3) @BorisJohnson’s govt advisors have seriously gone ridiculously mad and / or lost all moral compass. @CMO_England needs to resign if he truly feels morally uncomfortable with this.

Natural infection herd crowd is currently pushing for the new Boris Johnson “live with the virus” mass infection. Coincidentally, it’s many of the Scott Atlas- aligned “GBD”-curious crowd. They are also shameless in attacking scientists “lobbying” to stop Boris / protect kids. 🤷🏻‍♂️
2) Here is a much better approach… an international group of leading scientists advocating to stop 🛑 the insane Boris Johnson & @sajidjavid push for mass infection starting July 19th.
3) A more succinct summary of the 2-faced hypocritical nonsense. All scientists have a right to speak up and petition a govt— not just the pro infection Boris Johnson aligned scientists.
