Thank you Vice crew and especially @elisewho for shining a little light on what this looks like from our perspective. To all my fellow HCW’s on the frontlines, chin up. Keep fighting. We got this!

[VICE News @VICENews]

"It feels like a mass casualty event every night."

This is what it's like on the frontlines of Los Angeles' COVID disaster.

[Dr. Jenn @DrJennLA]

@Autistic_Lauren Yes. It’s so embarrassing. Especially when we travel and I echo people’s accents unconsciously. My husband thinks I’m making fun of people.

wait vance is now out saying he's got nothing against cats, so ... it's only the women he has something against?

Important. Read whole thread. #CovidVaccine #COVIDUpdates

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Heard of SARS-CoV2 variant from Japan?

No?

How about one from South Korea?

No?

Surely variants from New Zealand & Vietnam?

Of course not

Because these places haven't given rise to scary variants

But what places have.....has big implications for ending the pandemic

[Dr. Jenn @DrJennLA]

The data from SA also showed that many trial participants were infected with the variant even after they had already had Covid-19! Implications are huge. Could be like seasonal flu, requiring repeated vaccinations #southafricancoronavirus #COVIDUpdates https://t.co/yTGx7bg8Fx

[💀 damned sinker 💀 @dansinker]

It's remarkable that *one year later* we're seeing the same mistakes play out with the UK strain as with original covid. Europe is getting hammered and locking down harder than ever and we're over here opening up like it won't also do the same thing here.

I'm an ER Nurse in Seattle. Last night @SeattlePD officers came to the ER to obtain a statement from an assault patient. One officer, Eric Whitehead, blatantly refused to put a mask on while standing in a high-traffic hallway. There were covid positive pts in nearby rooms. 1/

@kylegriffin1 I think Biden needs an all black honor guard.

https://t.co/XwLGSCafaI Me waking up each morning in this timeline, checking the news:

Plague kills thousands more, check
The end of democracy, check
UFO’s real, check
But on the bright side: Well, at least we’re not at war with China... oh COME ON!

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

I wish Republicans in Congress took a president inciting a violent and deadly insurrection in the hopes of getting enough lawmakers killed to ignore an election result—as serious as they took a president getting oral sex.

[Dr. Jenn @DrJennLA]

Oh no! Is this MAGA terrorist crying because he’s been inconvenienced?

[Elise Hu @elisewho]

While reporting on the LA surge for @VICENews a dr reminded me: Each patient who dies from COVID is part of a web of loved ones. But bc of the virulence, they each die alone. Drs/nurses are holding up phones for facetime goodbyes, sending photos of notes...the toll is enormous

[Alden Landry @AMLandryMD]

Let’s set the record straight. The health care workers taking pics and posting/tweeting about receiving their vaccine aren’t bragging and being boastful about being first. We’re saying we trust science. We’re grateful for the glimmer of hope in this pandemic, 1/x
