⚠️Don’t look up… because #COVID19 cases have completely flattened, reversed, and/or surging again in the mega states of Florida, New York, California, Texas. (This is even log-scale—⬆️ more than it looks). So, #CovidIsNotOver—no matter what TV pundits claim.

Figure @DrWilliamKu Image
2) The new reversal and surge is COMPLETELY expected and predicted by the #BA2 increase. And the worst is yet to come because BA2 is not even 50%. But it will within 1-2 weeks. Then cases will be growing even faster.
3) like England’s surge, this is likely soon America’s fate as well. A lot of mitigations have been dropped recents and more will be dropping end of March. Not good combining no/little mitigation + #BA2 same time. Double whammy.
4) Ontario 🇨🇦 just hit around ~50% #BA2 this week. So how are things looking in Ontario? Their wastewater is now showing #SARSCoV2 resurgence province-wide, right on cue. Wastewater increase almost always precedes case rise in 1-2 weeks. Data doesn’t lie. Image
5) #BA2 is now driving increased deaths again in the UK. But do we honestly need to wait to see deaths before we act damnit?!?!

Original data source: coronavirus.data.gov.uk Image
6) Also fascinating is that in the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #Omicron wave—hospitalization rate trailed cases and was about 2% of cases at the peak, but now it’s significantly outpacing 2% in the new surge. This may not mean it’s more severe—more likely cases are under-diagnosed. Still odd/unusual. Image
7) Bad sign, deaths are now accelerating. Increase of 22% in just one week, outpacing case rise. And hospitalizations still rising too. Hope this wave isn’t too bad.
8) if the US follows UK trajectory- it will likely be much worse for the US given it is much less boosted than UK is. I hope other experts who predict this are wrong but I suspect they are likely right.

⚠️CDC & NY State is now recommending the IMMEDIATE testing & subtyping of all hospitalized flu A cases & unknown/suspected flu cases—in order to identify human bird flu. ➡️This implies CDC believes avian flu has now crossed into wide community transmission
nyc.gov/assets/doh/dow…Image
Image
2) Testing is good. But the widespread testing shows urgency.

“CDC is now recommending ordering subtyping for all influenza A-positive specimens collected from hospitalized individuals within 24 hours of hospital admission” Image
3) And the memo says start testing with ANY SUSPECTED hospitalized cases of seasonal influenza as well. That’s quite broad.

The memo also doesn’t say NY residency required - thus are they implying anyone outside NYC (out-of-state too?) can also send specimens in to their lab. Image

Trump WH has ordered CDC scientists to retract all papers under submission to medical journals containing banned terms— must be scrubbed from manuscripts, including even basic words like “gender”. Retraction even applies to accepted papers in press for imminent publication. Image
Image
2) The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals

@jeremyfaust 3) it’s wild that even the terms “gender” and “pregnant person / people” must be scrubbed as well. Kinda wild honestly. Image

🛑CANCELLED—“Research on Women’s Health” funding website of the NIH. Image
2) here is the page that is now deleted. Funding opportunities in women’s health research of ORWH site. Didn’t Trump say they at least recognize women as a gender? Weird.

3) It’s a bloodbath today for CDC websites too…

🪓DELETION UPDATE—More than 1,000 pages are now deleted from websites of CDC, National Institutes of Health, and other sites of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a new WSJ analysis—including many **vaccine recommendation** scientific pages! Image
2) CDC’s vaccine advisory committee webpage… now ❌ DELETED ❌ Image
3) To be clear, while the main ACIP website is still up (generic committee info), the “VACCINE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS” website of ACIP has been **deleted**. That key page is the one with the actual public health info for vaccines. Feel free to verify:

⚠️CDC WEBSITES DELETED—Multiple CDC websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ people, youth health behaviors and more have been removed after the agency was directed to comply with an executive order from President Trump by 5pm deadline. Wildest is taking down even HIV pages! Image
Image
2) Like, why then hell did the “CAUSES” of HIV even get deleted??? Makes zero sense. Why is Trump WH wanting to block how to stop HIV???
cdc.gov/hiv/causes/ind…Image
3) also deleted: CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which includes data from a national survey, has disappeared. so have parts of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s Social Vulnerability Index and the Environmental Justice Index.

⚠️Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind.

➡️Most of the world 🌎 has been vaccinated against TB… but the US has not, which is now extra vulnerable. Image
Image
2) For those asking, the majority of the world has used the BCG vaccine against TB… the BCG vaccine also protects against many other bacterial infections too. Up until now, CDC skipped it because US was low risk, and the BCG vaccine leaves a small scar & BCG messes up TB tests. Image
3) What about drugs for TB? Yes they exist but the problem is that TB often develops drug resistance (the bacteria evolves to evade neutralization). And thus, multi drug resistant TB has become a worldwide issue. That’s why childhood vaccination better.
