Blindfolded. 28 seconds. My god.
28 seconds^ is fast… however, the world record for Rubik’s cubing BLINDFOLDED is actually 15.50 seconds!!

UPDATE— I’ve just been informed the latest world record for BLINDFOLDED Rubik’s cubing is actually now 14.67 seconds. 😮
HOLY SHIT— this guy cold memorizes **60** Rubik’s cubes and then proceeds to BLINDFOLD solve them all… except 1. Solving 59 out of 60 blindfolded consecutively is so badass!

📍“Cryptic” unknown #SARSCoV2 variants were found in New York City sewers, many never before found in humans. Some could infect cells with mouse🐁 and/or rat🐀 ACE2-receptor, & were resistant to different neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. So 🍕rat-COVID?
nature.com/articles/s4146… ImageImage
2) “Interestingly, all four WNY lineages contained a polymorphism at spike protein residue 498 (Q498H or Q498Y)… both of these polymorphisms have been associated with host range expansion of SARS-CoV-2 into rodents, which are generally resistant to the parent SARS-CoV-2 lineage”
3) It’s very clear that the 4 key NYC sewer #SARSCoV2 variants have an unusual affinity towards favoring mice-ACE2 and rat-ACE2, much higher than human-ACE2 receptor. Hence the reasons the authors think it has mice 🐁 and rat 🐀 as a likely source. Image

📍 Who is old enough to remember when many mocked “scariants”? Well, over 100,000 Americans died of #COVID19 in the 50 days (from Dec 15th 2021 to Feb 3 2022) ➡️this sits as the 3rd fastest “100k death interval” behind 34 days & 36 days last winter.

#CovidIsNotOver #GetBoosted Image
2) It’s not over—COVID deaths with the so-called “mild” #Omicron wave has now exceeded both the spring 2020 wave and the 2021 Delta wave, and still hot on the tail chasing last winter’s #COVID19 peak. Are you boosted yet? #GetBoosted Image
3) I distinctly remember one person (out of many) who mocked and downplayed variants as scariants— widely cited supposed “expert” Monica Gandhi of UCSF… but now 900k Americans are dead and millions more worldwide. Listen 👇

Judge temporarily halts @GlennYoungkin’s executive order forcing schools to make masks optional in Virginia schools after lawsuit from school boards—a major victory for the 7 school boards that sued to stop the order & a sharp rebuke for the new governor. washingtonpost.com/education/2022…
2) Youngkin (R) issued his executive order making masks optional for students in schools, subject to the choices of parents, on his first day in office. It took effect Jan. 24, but the majority of Virginia school districts — at least 70 out of 131 total — are defying the order.
3) The order has earned multiple legal challenges. A group of parents sued three days after Youngkin announced the mask-optional order, and seven school boards — including Fairfax County Public Schools, largest & most prominent district — sued over the order two days after that.

⚠️Worrisome—the aggressive #BA2 subvariant of #Omicron has more than **doubled** this week since last UK report—now across all regions. BA2 has been dominant in 🇩🇰 already—prolonging their wave. Other countries be cautious—could make #COVID19 resurge.🧵 gov.uk/government/pub…
2) Here was how #BA2 surged from last week’s report to this week’s cumulative 3832 cases. It’s clearly spreading fast and across all regions of 🇬🇧
3) even in South Africa 🇿🇦- #BA2 has been surging too and replacing the original Omicron. This is not a fluke.

Dr Monica Gandhi has been infamously anti-precautionary & anti-mitigation & wrong time and again. She now wants to end more mitigations—all while #Omicron deaths highs, & #BA2 rising. So @mehdirhasan checks her record—& asks if she’d stop making forecasts:
2) First record check was @mehdirhasan checking how wrong she was about India 🇮🇳 being at herd immunity in FEB 2021– just before India was hit hard by the new Delta variant that likely caused MILLIONS of deaths in April May and June.
3) she also dismissed those of us who wanted about the dangers of new variants and indirectly called it scaremongering about variants. MILLIONS have since been hospitalized and died from more contagious, deadly, and even “milder” variants.

Here is what “mild” #Omicron looks like in Brazil🇧🇷—the steepest rate of ⬆️ surge in cases & #COVID19 deaths in over a year.

📍@jairbolsonaro should maybe solve his country’s suffering instead of Twitter blocking an epidemiologist begging him to save lives.

HT @DrWilliamKu
2) Yes, #COVID-minimizing anti-mask 🇧🇷 President @Jairbolsonaro, who downplayed vaccines, who broke NYC laws and caused an outbreak at the UN, has somehow blocked this epidemiologist on Twitter.
3) here is a graph of cases and deaths in Brazil 🇧🇷 for the past year. #Omicron doesn’t care who you believe or block on Twitter @jairbolsonaro. Focus on saving your people, not saving your face.
