Worrisome—Water levels in Lake Mead (largest US reservoir—critical drinking water source to millions in California, Arizona, Nevada, & part of Mexico 🇲🇽) are dropping so low that #LakeMead could soon hit "dead pool" levels—when water won't flow downstream!
abcnews.go.com/US/water-level…
2) The minimum surface elevation needed to generate power at the Hoover Dam is 1,050 feet, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Anything below that is considered "inactive pool," and a "dead pool" exists at 895 feet in elevation.

3) The water levels at Lake Mead measured at 1043.82 feet Thursday morning, records from the Bureau of Reclamation show, making it **less than 150 feet away** from becoming a dead pool. 👀
4) Alarming — Sub 1050 feet is now a new crisis level of WATER SHORTAGE CONDITION II. I think the southwestern states need to treat this as the water crisis that this truly is.

WHO investigating #monkeypox in semen—scientists say they have detected virus DNA in semen of a handful of monkeypox patients—suggesting it is capable of infecting another person and replicating. ➡️So ⁦@CDCgov⁩ not recommending condoms is DEAD WRONG! reuters.com/business/healt…
2) Many cases in the current monkeypox outbreak, largely centred on Europe, are among sexual partners who have had close contact, and the agency reiterated that virus is mainly transmitted via close interpersonal contact. But now it’s going further.
2) scientists say they have detected viral DNA in the semen of a handful of monkeypox patients in Italy and Germany, including a lab sample that suggested virus found in the semen of a single patient was capable of infecting another person and replicating. reuters.com/business/healt…

Study from Yale—338,000 #COVID19 deaths could have been avoided if we had Medicare-for-All / universal healthcare. That’s a 1/3 of all COVID deaths in the US.

Thanks @mehdirhasan via @MehdiHasanShow

Yale study author: @Alison_Galvani #MedicareForAll
2) The US had the highest death rate from the virus among large wealthy countries and is also the only one among such countries without universal healthcare. It spends almost twice as much on healthcare per capita as the other wealthy countries.
amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/j…
3) “The current healthcare system in the US is economically inefficient and leaves millions of Americans without adequate access to medical treatment,” said @Alison_Galvani, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analysis at the Yale pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

📍Shaking my head @CDCgov puts out sex guidelines if you might have #monkeypox to have sex “with clothes on” but despite genital risk—does NOT say to use condoms! ➡️Plus elsewhere @CDCDirector won’t recognize partial airborne risk nor recommend wear masks!
cdc.gov/poxvirus/monke… Image
2) to be fair, the @CDCgov does say try not to have sex if any #monkeypox symptoms. But the BIG GIANT SECTION TITLE is “how can a person lower their risk during sex”!! It doesn’t even make sense to put such language together in same section. C’mon @CDCDirector - read guidelines? Image
3) Also, I don’t really understand the logic of saying “masturbating 6 feet apart” while also suggesting sex with clothes on. huh??? How do they write the back to back?

(Dear @CDCgov staffer who wrote this — is this some prank guideline? Blink twice or RT if it is.) Image
