OF COURSE FLORIDA… Facing a Dire Storm Forecast in Florida, Florida Officials Delayed Evacuation until it was too late. Downplay the risks… people die. Welcome to Florida’s failed leadership… again. #HurricanIan

This is indeed DeSantis’s fault… how do we know? almost ever Florida official hails its state’s Dear Leader DeSantis for his “leadership”.
Meanwhile FL Governor DeSantis is blaming victims for not evacuating despite no evacuation order given until it was too late. What leadership hogwash.
I think of one thing when I see this horrifying video… if only DeSantis could have spent millions of his dollars to help evacuate these people north… instead of wasting millions on some scheme to send people to Martha’s Vineyard.
Deaths in the hundreds… not “20”.

I hate this—Congressional stock trading scandals, from suspiciously trades at start of #COVID pandemic to members of Congress failing to comply with disclosure requirements, have prompted calls for reform. But they are “fake” reforms—thanks @waltshaub

2) “To say the bill is weak, however, would be an understatement. The bill is dangerous. It would undermine what little ethics we have in our federal government.” ~@waltshaub
3) it “bill would replace the government’s strict blind trust requirements with a regime that would permit fake blind trusts, like one Trump invented. Backing a bill that would allow fake blind trusts—Trump’s greatest scam—should shock us into paying attention.” @waltshaub

⚠️Geeeeezzz—2 healthcare workers who wore full PPE (N95, gloves, gown, goggles) got #monkeypox in 🇧🇷 after visiting monkeypox patient. Despite **washing hands**, the 2 female HCWs both positive days later. ➡️They didn’t sanitize the clipboard & sample box! wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/28…
2) However, “From the time they entered the patient’s home to the end of the interview, the HCWs did not wear gloves; after the interview, both HCWs sanitized their hands with 70% ethanol and donned latex gloves to collect samples.” ➡️that’s also a mistake. Room contaminated.
3) The other clear mistake was they should have doffed the contaminated gloves and PPE immediately after leaving the patient’s house. They should not have worn the PPE while traveling back to the lab. The vehicle they were in probably got contaminated - later exposure.

Holy shit—if you haven’t followed the near total collapse of UK🇬🇧 economy today, you missed out. Bottomline— Bank of England just did a massive single day bank bailout of £65 billion… using taxpayer money… in order to prevent banks and pension fund failing for millions. Epic🧵
These 65 billion GBP used in the bailout will be ultimately become losses by UK taxpayers and not the banks themselves.
And yes, TAXPAYERS will be on the hook.

A metro area of 300,000-400,000 people are about to be submerged underwater in Florida. Don’t look at the storm surge animation below if you want to pretend everything is okay. #hurricaneian
Literally THOUSANDS of buildings in downtown Cape Coral will be underwater.
Some people are insane. This is right now today. (The video is dated wrong)

Pediatric hospitalizations are surging. Cases of all respiratory viruses surging. #COVID is rising again too. It’s time we #BringBackMasks and use that hashtag #️⃣ going forward.

#COVIDisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver
2) Not just in US, but after the start of Oktoberfest, #Covid infections in Munich have increased significantly, per 🇩🇪 RKI.

Case numbers rose 77% vs the previous week, compared to 43% in Bavaria & 29% in Germany.

Covid hospitalizations are also up.

📍VARIANTS OUTLOOK—I’m old enough to recall a few smug virologists who were adamant that “#SARS2 don’t mutate much”/ “re-infections impossible”—then tried to silence & shame anyone warning about reinfections. ➡️Well, here is our #COVID19 winter roadmap—many are immunity evading👀
2) Here is what you need to focus on —it’s scary how now there is **CONVERGENT EVOLUTION** of very specific combinations of mutations that are showing up together across many different Omicron family trees. They all are converging to IMMUNITY EVASION.
3) I’m also old enough to have seen the #COVID denialism and minimizers become wrong TIME AND TIME again… each time dismissing restrictions and then each time claiming “nobody could have foreseen this” sudden hospitalization surge! UK 🇬🇧 hospitals for example… HT @TRyanGregory
