When the CDC says “your health is in your hands” after loosening their guidelines, they abandon their responsibility to safeguard public health. Disgraceful.
Your health is in your hands. If you are unvaccinated, please get vaccinated as soon as you can to decrease your risk to #COVID19. If you choose not to be vaccinated, continue to wear a mask and practice all mitigation strategies to protect yourself from the virus.

If you are thinking that vaccination (any regimen) will solve this problem, I have bad news for you. Even if we could magically produce enough doses, we can't get anywhere near enough people vaccinated with even 1 shot.
To keep B.1.1.7 rare, we must stop transmission.
1. If you thought yesterday's more than 4,400 deaths will be the worst of the American pandemic, or the previous >300,000 cases in a day, you're not paying attention.
We're already approaching 1% B.1.1.7 strain

If you want to see what happens when B.1.1.7 becomes the dominant strain, you can look at Ireland, now the highest new cases per capita globally

I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one.

2 doses on board for the president-elect.
Is the outgoing president going to be vaccinated? One wonders.

Some encouraging numbers—poll finds that 68% of Canadians will definitely take the vaccine, 19% said they will probably get the shot. #COVIDVaccination theglobeandmail.com/politics…

New York entered vaccine rollout Phase 1b yesterday. This now includes individuals 75 and older, categories of grocery store workers and teachers etc. and many more. Detailed info here: vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/locati…
Get vaccinated. We can beat this virus!

Neurological symptoms are frequently observed in #COVID19. Using three independent approaches - mouse model, human brain organoid and autopsies of COVID-19 patients, @ericsongg @virusesimmunity team demonstrates evidence of #SARSCoV2 neuroinvasion. bit.ly/38BjLbA

Adding Prof @VirusesImmunity recent thread on prognostic implications of saliva v NP #SARSCoV2 viral load.
Appears increasingly that from both diagnostic & prognostic implications,
Saliva > NP
What is the relevance of viral load in #COVID19 disease severity? A very talented @YaleMSTP student @SilvaJ_C found that saliva viral load to be a better predictor of disease than nasopharyngeal viral load. Here is a thread to explain the findings. (1/n)

Saliva viral load is a better predictor of disease than nasopharyngeal viral load.
New study from Yale:

A sobering but honest thread by @DrTomFrieden on whether #COVID19 could ultimately take the lives of a million Americans.
Rogue CDC retweeted
With over 374,000 lives lost to COVID-19, the consequences of ignoring medical professionals and scientific experts are apparent. We have the power to slow the spread of the virus if we let science lead and make sure to wear masks. #BecauseScience. RT if you agree 😷

New developments in NYC’s vaccination program are coming fast and furious.
Here’s the latest on who can get vaccination, where and when sites are open, and how to schedule.

This is not fast enough, San Diego County. Vaccines only work if you use them!

Trump grew angrier after convos w/ aides about this & the pardon process has now been described as being "on hold" -- meaning others who have been lobbying the president for pardons, including his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, may not receive one.
In the wake of Wednesday's assault on the Capitol, President Trump has been advised he potentially could face civil liability connected to his role in encouraging supporters who went on to storm Congress. Story w/ @Santucci @jonkarl abcnews.go.com/Politics/trum…
