DEAR GOD—“The largest public health & hospital collapse in the history of Brazil 
”—wow.

I weep for the people of Brazil — #COVID19 deaths now at all time high under the strain of#P1 variant that has surged in recent month, and its President hell bent on doing nothing and muzzling scientists.

10) here is the dark ominous study on
#P1 variant that is now everywhere in... it is 2.52x faster transmission that old wild common type of #SARSCoV2. That is 152% increase!#B117 is only 40-60% faster. So#P1 would then be ~68% faster than even#B117! https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.03.21252706v1 …pic.twitter.com/aV32TjFZqz

11) there is also a reinfection risk of
#P1 as well. It was 6.4% in study above but over 15% in another study. This also makes sense—#P1 has the E484K bad mutations. Even the vaccines have reduce neutralization against#P1 too. This is the strain that WE DO NOT WANT!!!https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1371209487491735553 …
VACCINE ESCAPE OF VARIANTS vs Pfizer-BioNTech & NIH-Moderna: Troubling new peer-reviewed paper shows even 2-dose recipients have serious trouble neutralizing the#B1351
variant—as little as vs old SARS & bat coronavirus. #P1 is poor too. 1-dose worse. Lots of graphs #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/glXBOqMU4lShow this threadShow this thread -
12) Another Brazil
#COVID19 research group puts transmission at 2x faster than old strain (instead of 2.5x above), but they estimate a way worse whopping 25-60% reinfection rate!! I’m honestly not sure which is better. Reinfection also really bad.https://www.bbc.com/news/health-56252779 …Show this thread -
13) the

18) Hot tip for
@jairbolsonaro - if you have to replace your health minister yet again - and get a 4th health minister in 1 year, maybe it’s not the problem with the health ministers but maybe it’s you. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.dw.com/en/brazil-president-bolsonaro-to-replace-health-minister-yet-again/a-56882376 …Show this thread -
19) This video is sobering and hard to watch. But a must watch. Please watch. “Access to ICU facilities is next to impossible” right now in Brazil, says

4:52Brazil's latest#COVID19 wave is becoming tragic beyond measure. has “plunged into crisis”. Patients are dying waiting for ICU beds. #P1 variant is 2-2.5x faster transmission. More younger 20-30s patients now dying, unlike before.
