      6) Because P1 is potentially 2-2.5x faster transmission (more contagious) than the old common strains. That means it is also faster than #B117 sweeping the world. #P1 now popping up worldwide. We need to get serious about Brazil situation ASAP.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1372013248980074498 …

      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

      Tragedy in a part of Brazil 🇧🇷—soaring #COVID19 hospitalizations and mortality one of the wealthiest states with the best hospitals (exceeding that of most in the US).

They are now begging veterinary clinics for sedatives and medicines.https://gauchazh.clicrbs.com.br/colunistas/rosane-de-oliveira/noticia/2021/03/prefeitura-de-sao-leopoldo-requisita-medicamentos-de-farmacias-e-clinicas-veterinarias-para-atender-pacientes-da-covid-19-ckmessxtc000o016uibqgl0ca.html …

          ⚠️ICU hospitalization trend and #COVID19 in Brazil. If you still say nothing is wrong, still try to downplay that the #P1 variant-driven surge is overblown—please go search for your humanity.
