Brazil's latest #COVID19 wave is becoming tragic beyond measure. 🇧🇷 has “plunged into crisis”. Patients are dying waiting for ICU beds. #P1 variant is 2-2.5x faster transmission. More younger 20-30s patients now dying, unlike before.🧵

@Beccadatwitt @avamariegeorge2 @bjo52@jamieson @RRalstonAgile Took more than 2 weeks for a small envelope with my Inauguration pins to get to me: started in RI, then to CT, then MA, where it sat for more than a week, then back to RI, then back to MA, and finally back to CT for delivery 2 days later.
Great time seeing @PeteButtigieg in NH! I agree with Mayor Pete that we need to see the reins of power passed to a new generation. So many great candidates for #2020
