Storytelling archetype Rebels vs. Empire, #Luetzerath edition 🥰
See text on the left
Previously, in « rebels vs. empire »:
Others can better comment on police command & training than me. #Luetzerath
Multiple instances of undocumented police violence, also because press is forbidden entry; here one documented.
A police contact (Polizeibeobachter) reports being shocked by broken promises and violence in the part of the police. - Summary @RealTadzioM:
#Luetzerath #Polizeigewalt
In case anyone hasn’t been, you should definitely visit Garzweiler or any large-scale mining operation. MASSIVE. Image
The politics of climate and emerging power of the climate movement elegantly summoned by @RealTadzioM.

Will some of y join me in integrated pandemic-climate analysis?

SARS is where the real battle is being fought today. We’re getting our collective asses, lungs & brains kicked.
“I wonder what it feels like for the police to have all these arms and weapons; and what do we have? - Rain ponchos!”

Great reporting: @LeHuffPost on Garzweiler #Luetzerath
Christians for future singing, while police and activists battle in the mud. #Luetzerathbleibt

Above you see the account sharing police violence is now locked, possibly to avoid trolls/trouble.

It’s a very unequal battle online (for attention and power) as much as in the mud.

Read this thread to understand how highly qualified influenza scientists, gullible westerners, and people well paid to not face reality keep getting SARS fatally wrong.

Fatal also for them - that’s what I don’t get 😈😌
@EricTopol I think it was pointed out to you that N95 masks+eye protection, not vaccines, can beat XBB.1.5. When did it become acceptable for science communicators or MDs to share blatant anti-science views. Wow.

1. Meet the nucleocapsid of SARS-CoV-2; more powerful even than the well-researched N protein in MERS-/SARS-CoV. Can overlap with Orf10.

Focus, if you’re anywhere near science or policy, you need to know. Or even just to protect yourself. ImageImage
2. Details.
3. Someone please tell @Marc_Veld I answered his question. 🔥 He is free to unblock and reimburse me for the hours it took to write this and related threads or just contribute to my patreon - much cheaper. I can’t keep going at the current rate, doing research for people unpaid.

Hi all, WHO updated recommendations for masks, medication, and isolation period (ten days for infected patients with symptoms, five days after a positive test but no symptoms).

++Reinstate mask recommendation in public transportation @DB_Bahn @SBahnBerlin who.int/news/item/13-0… Image
My translation, not WHO:

States made PCR tests so rare + expensive in international travel surveillance and community level that COVID-19 incidence data is now largely useless other than in hospitals or perhaps primary care and ongoing studies like the UK ONS.

Hence WHO’s move. Image
Link to decent data: ECDC and WHO/Europe; there may be similar ones for other regional WHO offices.

Broke, Woke, Bespoke 👍
Think about it: I’m less valuable to the grand order of things, but also a lot cheaper to maintain! - Economists would know what to do 🤗

1. What is our problem?

Pandemic policy is lost because no one puts the key message in one text / tweet, so it’s ALWAYS lost in translation. People switch off halfway through

One sense unit: (1) SARS risk; (2) what’s missing or to be done; (3) concrete group or demand to do it.
2. Okay journalists, let’s practice.

Guess why I like this article so much? Hint, read the headline Image
3. Correct. (1) Do the thing where you don’t just copy-paste the words of power. (2) We have a problem of missing, cooked or ill understood data worldwide. It’s fast getting worse. (3) Talk to *former* or independent (=unscripted) public health experts.

Some are even on Twitter!

1. Look at US mortality dynamics March-Dec 2022.

We see a massive 36% increase in years of life lost (YLL) from COVID-19 as deaths shift lower. Median [interquartile range] decreased from 78 [68-87] years to 69 [59 to 80] years.

10% increase unintentional injuries (~OD deaths). ImageImage
2. How do you hide a flood of SARS-CoV-2 deaths?

Correct, Go Dutch!
2. Or go German!

We're testing at best 10% of the pandemic peak, children barely anymore, and the hospitals are full. And we remove the remnant mask mandates (in long-distance trains).

Joke is on us: -- yes it's not actually funny 😬
