We’ve heard of ZERO reported cases of COVID in my kids’ school this year despite no mask mandate. I asked my 9 yo and she said, “Well, everyone in my class is coughing but they say it’s ‘allergies.’”

She actually made little quotes with her hands when she said “allergies.”

@Angry_Staffer Sourced thread. https://t.co/AEcEr9Iw1T

I just want it on the record that @Peston told Boris Johnson TO HIS FACE that changing the rules on mask wearing now might save us from 'plan B' lockdowns later, and Johnson refused.

Ignoring variants earlier this year didn't work out too well for us

I hope we don't, today, ignore the variants that will be here tomorrow

My sentiment from last May (see tweet) hasn't changed. Wish it had been wrong. But of course It wasn't going to be - virus evolution 101

THREAD: COVID-19 disinformation agents have killed countless people.

Most victims weren't dedicated soldiers of the anti-vaccine cause; they passively absorbed it from those who were.

Such is the tragedy of "Teresa," a mother, grandmother & waitress who feared the vaccine. 1/

💡We need this—“When a wastewater sample from one college dorm came back positive this week, the school quickly tested all 311 people who live and work there and found 2 #COVID19 asymptomatic students. They were quickly quarantined”—preventing outbreak! https://t.co/mxePQhbjfs

The curious dance of the American Woodcock

Why they do this?

We don’t really know but one hypothesis is that they rock like this under certain conditions, possibly when watched, a mild potential threat, so it makes itself conspicuous as a defense. 1/2

The Supreme Court’s refusal to block a blatantly unconstitutional new abortion ban in Texas has other red states salivating over the opportunity to enact their own laws. It's time to pick up our bitchiest protest signs and get ready to fight!

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

Wow—“Every kindegarten teacher” at Kinder Ranch Elementary in @cisdnews tested positive for #COVID19. However, the school staff did not alert the community—parents had to learn from each other! So irresponsible and dangerous. Hello—unvaccinated kids?!?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

7) My take—While Mu is more resistant to antibodies, it may not spread as fast, since contagiousness / transmissibility is not same as antibody resistance. Delta is still king worldwide… but what I am watching out for is signs if Mu makes inroads or not in any country over Delta

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

2) The #MuVariant started in Colombia 🇨🇴, but is already worldwide, including in US and UK. In Colombia, how fast did it dominate? Pretty fast. But #DeltaVariant is catch up with it too.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

📍Bad news on #MuVariant—Japanese scientists: "Mu variant is highly resistant to sera from convalescent & [Pfizer]-vaccinated people. Direct comparison of different spike proteins revealed that Mu spike is more resistant…than all other current variants”🧵

REMOVED! The infamous statue of pro-slavery Confederate General Robert E. Lee is finally removed from Richmond, state capital of Virginia, after 131 years, and "largest monument to the Confederate insurrection” says @RalphNortham.

UK govt has taxed the poorest & retirees, let-off the rich. No national insurance on capital gains & dividends. Billions could have been raised through progressive measures but it chose not to. It failed to address the pensions, NHS and social care crises.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I support @richardburgon 's amendment to scrap the Tory National Insurance hikes.

Instead, there should be a Wealth Tax on the super-rich - those with assets over £5m.

This could fund much-needed investment in our social services, including a National Care Service for all.
