      It increasingly looks like many European countries that didn’t manage to hit on the accelerator for vaccination (everyone besides UK, I think?) may risk another terrible surge from B.1.1.7. (UK also delayed boosters to increase coverage quickly). Exponentials are dangerous.https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/1370833735717957635 …

      Italy just entered its third lockdown and Merkel’s Germany, too, announced they will be delaying boosters like the UK—a strategy Europe mostly denounced back then. US is likely escaping this dilemma because we have unmatched supply and got B117 introductions later than Europe.

      Problem with exponential threats is by the time scale of the problem is obvious, it’s too late. We got pretty solid data on higher transmissibility of B.1.1.7 late December. I don’t understand what happened with Europe’s decision makers. We have to vaccinate globally and quickly.

      Yes, US should immediately release what AZ supplies we have. We have more than enough of the other three so time to move on that.https://twitter.com/ktsabini/status/1370839659421560834 …

      What is the US strategy in not ‘loaning’ the Astra Zeneca stock we have to help them? By the time it’s approved here won’t we be swimming in vaccine ?

      Both the US and the UK botched many aspects of their pandemic response. But vaccination isn’t “one more tool” somehow equal or similar to the others in our toolkit. Make that happen, and things can improve quickly despite issues . Miss that? Things can tip back quickly.

      Italy hasn't entered a third national lockdown. It's simply the case that many regions have returned to the most restrictive "red zone" in the tier-based system. Some regions still have less severe restrictions, notably Sardinia. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1370838719570268164 …

          everybody on the ground feels like this is a "third lockdown". Movement between regions has been heavily restricted for quite some time, and most of the population is going back to "red" or "dark orange" - Sardinia - an island - is the outlier.

          true. the non-lockdowns in France (curfew) and Italy (tiers) are far more restrictive than the business rules/closures many Americans erroneously refer to as "lockdowns."

          Air quality is much worse in India, but nowhere did the death rates match Italy's or even LA's.
