Staring at this graph—most striking is that the troughs of each #COVID hospitalization wave is higher and higher each wave… & broader as well. Flu may be one and done each year, but #COVID19 hospital admissions just keeps humming along. Concerning. #CovidIsNotOver

2) Why is this happening? #COVID reinfections is getting to become a serious problem. Variants like #XBB15 are more evasive than ever, more variants emerging… and our immunity is waning over time. Hence multiple waves each year. And don’t forget immunity-weakening effects of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) another astute observation is that average hospitalizations could actually be rising as time goes on, even as the peaks rise… the plateau is steadily getting higher!
4) Another way to look at it… since the start of the pandemic in UK, there has never been a higher plateau than what we have now. Let that sink in… and what we have in UK is not a fast up and down wave… it seems broader than before. This gives me great pause whenever someone… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
5) COVID DATA IS TOO DAMN INCONVENIENT…

UK 🇬🇧 government—“gotta fix that”…

“The little air pump that could”.

Someone slashed my tire 🛞 today. Naturally.
2) It was not just running over a nail…. Someone slashed my tire 🛞 so bad that even a tire plug kit couldn’t repair the giant gaping gash. ImageImage
3) I didn’t have my Sentry mode security camera 🎥 turned on today. My mistake. Oy. Always turn on your sentry mode camera folks.

✊🏼BOYCOTT CIGNA—“Over a period of 2 months last year, Cigna doctors denied over 300,000 requests for payments… spending an average of 1.2 seconds on each case”—@Cigna saves millions by rejecting claims without ever reading them. Disgusting. #boycottCigna

2) Health insurance profits, 2022:

United Health: $20,600,000,000

Centene: $1,200,000,000

Revenues have increased ⬆️ 300% since 2012.

Thanks to @AjKavanaugh
3) The company has built a system that allows its doctors to instantly reject a claim on medical grounds without opening the patient file, leaving people with unexpected bills, according to corporate documents and interviews with former Cigna officials.

⚠️DISBANDING WH #COVID TASK FORCE IS A VERY BAD IDEA. We will have another surge later this year, and we will regret this. Even Trump’s COVID coordinator Dr Deborah Birx thinks it’s too soon. Let that sink in. #CovidIsNotOver

By @ddiamond @tylerpager

2) “Deborah Birx, who served as the nation’s first coronavirus coordinator, suggested that too few anti-pandemic mechanisms have been put in place to justify winding down the team. She said the administration has missed opportunities to improve the monitoring of virus data,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) “It’s not too early [to disband] if we had used the last two years to build all of these systems that we needed — but we haven’t,” Birx said.

INSANITY—a complete ban in Florida proposed on health insurance coverage against all “gender clinical interventions”—which includes banning birth control, hormone treatment for menopause, for breast cancer, anti-androgen treatments for prostate cancer, for m.flsenate.gov/session/bill/2…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2) This is not an exaggeration — legally, it is written to ban any all hormone treatments regardless of use for whatever disease, as currently written!!! My god.
3) This topic is know well—my Harvard doctoral thesis was on sex steroid hormones—there are literally dozens and dozens of sex hormone regulating drugs used for many female and male cancers, PCOS, aging, menopause, prostate enlargements, bone mineral density, etc—that would be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

📍CDC quietly added this without any press highlighting—“Emerging evidence suggests that #SARSCoV2, that causes #COVID19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially YEARS after infection.” #LongCovid So @CDCDirector?
2) When completing death certificates, certifiers should carefully consider the individual’s medical history to consider the “possibility that the death was due to long-term complications of COVID-19, even if the original infection occurred months or years before.”

@CDCgov
3) “Documented serious post-COVID-19 conditions include cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, renal, endocrine, hematological, and gastrointestinal complications (8), as well as death (13).” #LongCovid

BRAKING—New train sensor data shows **Overheated wheel bearing were 253 degrees above ambient temperature** as the crew applied the brakes.🔥 The crew of a Norfolk Southern @nscorp freight train carrying toxic chemicals tried to slow the train moments nytimes.com/2023/02/23/us/…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2) Gosh, if only better electronic pneumatic brakes were used for hazardous materials… oh wait, what’s this??? Even Fox News is admitting Trump officials screwed up?? 👇
3) better brakes would have helped avoid disaster not only the initial spill but repeated contamination **EVERY TIME IT RAINS***
