2) Listen to Dr @mvankerkhove talk about the sharp global rise in cases. “2 dozen” countries with **near vertical rise** in #COVID19 cases. Let that sink in. #DeltaVariant is damn serious.pic.twitter.com/GhvESjTdiv

Bad trend—Netherlands reports a near vertical >800% increase in new #COVID19 cases in 1 week. Greece 
and Spain 
nearly matching that surge. @WHO now reports over 2 dozen countries with “near vertical” sharp rises in cases—mostly #DeltaVariant. Pandemic “Act 2” has begun.

3) How does Netherlands, Greece, Spain compare in vaccinated %? All 3 countries ~ 40% fully vaccinated. Not that low relative to the world or rest of Europe. UK is 50% vaccinated and it’s still seeing hospitalizations & deaths rise. Keep vaccinating—
#DeltaVariant coming.pic.twitter.com/F1hDDFbztY

4) yet there are morally empty world leaders who basically want to let the virus burn through the population via mass infection. I’m not joking. Neither is
@DrMikeRyan — he is not mincing words. Remember them (cough,@BorisJohnson@CMO_England@sajidjavid@jairbolsonaro)https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1413205568597204997 …

Holy cow—the insane “logic that more people infected is better is **MORAL EMPTINESS and EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUPIDITY**” is the best critique of @sajidjavid &@BorisJohnson’s “living with the virus”
mass infection strategy. Thank you @DrMikeRyan.#COVID19 pic.twitter.com/cZwhdI7AR0Show this threadShow this thread -
5) We know Boris won’t resign, and
@sajidjavid loves Ayn Rand too much to back down, but I hope@CMO_England Chris Witty will find the empathy in his heart to oppose the sadistic Boris’s strategy of mass infection that is = “Epidemiological stupidity”, or resign in principle.https://twitter.com/GabrielScally/status/1412929901259378696 …

6) Govt forcing people “to accept a level of mortality and disability” will not be forgiven by history. Thank you

7) coincidence that almost al of the world is seeing surges? No. Even the previously most successful countries like Australia is having a crisis with
#DeltaVariant. Also, a small Easter
egg in this thread below…https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1413388042992246789 …
Let this sink in—currently 43 #COVID19 hospitalized in Sydney
, 10 of whom are in ICU. 4 of whom require ventilation. 
“Of the 10 people in ICU, **one is age ~20s**. One is in their 30s. One is in their 50s”. That is the serious #DeltaVariant folks.

8) Is it just cases surging? Absolutely not. As reminder, all critical measures of hospitalizations, ICU mechanical ventilation beds, and deaths all rising in England
!!!

9) Cases surging again in New York City where previously many elite bubbled pundits thought this day would never come. What are those dismissive downplaying “armchair (fakes#) epidemiologists” to say now? (For record:
@MarkLevineNYC has been great leader throughout the pandemic)https://twitter.com/MarkLevineNYC/status/1414230584235335686 …

10) every
#DeltaVariant surging country (over 100+ now) should do this immediately regardless of vaccine status. Add mask and ventilation on top even better. But 65+ year olds and other sick patients should avoid indoor public spaces.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1414358182982557697 …
New #COVID19 recommendations amid spike in#DeltaVariantAll Mississippi residents ages 65+ & anyone with chronic conditions, should avoid all indoor mass gatherings **regardless of vaccination status**.

~1000 infected out of 20,000-person music festival in the Netherlands. Maybe this type of thing is bad idea during a pandemic while#DeltaVariant
? NL also had the sharpest #COVID19 spike in the world last week. Now I worry for soccer
even more.

12) Netherlands has now backtracked on nightclubs. Their Prime Minister has apologized. But will
@BorisJohnson and@sajidjavid learn from NL before it’s too late for England?https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1417123712566972417 …
LEARN A LESSON—Netherlands leaders now admit they made a terrible mistake lifting#COVID19 restrictions. But
Boris Johnson just did the unthinkable in lifting almost all restrictions for England amid #DeltaVariant surge and hospitalization increase. I fear for what is to come. pic.twitter.com/tgaKSXLsT5Show this threadShow this thread
