Dear folks enjoying the weekend—reminder that while things may seem fine in the streets, countless hospitals and healthcare workers are exhausted & are near burn-out. Please be considerate of them and your fellow neighbors. #vaccinate #MaskUp #ventilate #TestandTrace
2) 700,000 #COVID19 deaths is more than Us deaths during the 1918 pandemic. Let that sink in.
3) We are killing our next generation slowly during #COVID19… by leaving behind more single mothers and fathers and orphans.
4) maiming and killing our next generation is going to leave a horrible mark on society and scar our collective history. We need to ask ourselves what kind of future we want for our kids.

2) “She was having trouble getting a full breath. That was the first thing. The day before, Autumn Carver, seven months pregnant with her third child, had enjoyed a CrossFit class. Now a simple cough was compounded by the breathing issues, which rapidly worsened.”
3) “It wasn’t long before her husband took Autumn to Community Hospital South and then began a series of heartbreaking Facebook updates.
As COVID-19 began to ravage Autumn’s system, the 34-year-old’s condition deteriorated with dizzying speed. facebook.com/593968021/post…

Unsustainable natural gas prices spiking in Europe… it’s not even winter yet. Leaders are expressing real angst over the ability to adequately heat homes soon. Fertilizers next year, meat processing, and carbonated soft drinks also affected. Green alternatives?

HT @SahilBloom
So what is going on? China is sucking up the world’s natural gas (and coal).
3) Coal is not the solution - coal prices to spiking too. And supply chains are also breaking down worldwide.

⚠️KIDNEY FAILURE—Bad #LongCovid kidney damage in even non-hospitalized w/ no prior kidney problems ➡️2x higher risk of developing end-stage kidney disease, vs never had #COVID19. 📍That’s “+7.8 extra people needing dialysis or a kidney transplant per 10,000” with mild/moderate.🧵
2) The findings, reported in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, highlight yet another pernicious burden of the pandemic. ➡️ Kidney damage is painless and silent, and it’s the latest ailment afflicting a large swath of Covid survivors.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
3) Kidney damage is serious. And costly. And debilitating. I’ve discussed it before - but the drop in kidney function from #LongCovid is not small. See 🧵 below 👇

⚠️Young people dying of #COVID19 faster than ever—as US surpasses 700,000 death milestone—those who died were younger. ➡️ In August, every age group <55 had its **highest death toll of the pandemic**. Top death: Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas.
nytimes.com/2021/10/01/us/…
2) It’s not a big surprise that #COVID19 deaths follow areas of lowest vaccinations.
3) About 40 percent of the most recent 100,000 people to die of the virus were under 65, a share higher than at any other point in the pandemic.

💡BREAKING—New oral anti-viral drug *molnupiravir* cuts risk of #COVID19 hospitalization and death **in HALF** in a randomized trial. Results so astounding that the trial is being stopped early, and Merck plans to apply for emergency authorization ASAP. 🧵 washingtonpost.com/health/2021/10…
2) An independent board of experts monitoring the trial recommended the study be stopped early because of the positive (beneficial) results, a significant and telling step in a study. Merck & Ridgeback Biotherapeutics said they would apply for EUA for molnupiravir in the US ASAP.
3) It would be the first antiviral pill for covid-19. A simple, easy-to-prescribe pill that prevents mild and moderate cases of covid-19, from turning into dire episodes has been one of the missing pieces of the medical armamentarium to fight the virus.

Vaccines are now deemed a ‘TREASONOUS ACT’ in rural America. And they hide #COVID19–“They want to hide that they're sick. You don't get vaccinated. You don't get tested. You hide symptoms if able—& just go out in the community & spread the virus”. So sad😢

2) “"If you have it, everybody knows it. And they're talking about you," Tara Chitwood said. She was working behind the register at a souvenir shop, subbing in for her mom, who'd gotten sick a few days earlier. It was "more than likely" Covid-19, Chitwood said
3) “one of her mom's friends tested positive. But her mom probably wouldn't get tested, she said.
It was scary, Chitwood said. Her own little girl had to quarantine. But there was "no way" she'd get the vaccine. Her mom had gotten vaccinated, she said, and got sick anyway.
