Twitter revealed its algorithm to the world.

But what does it mean for you?

I spent the evening analyzing it.

Here’s what you need to know:

@islivingston Get ready for the cough and post nasal drip to linger!!

[Robert Radley @robertradley]

@healthbyjames Yes boosted twice and still got covid 😂😂

[Robert Radley @robertradley]

@islivingston My resting heart rate was definitely higher for a good couple of weeks. It would also shoot up over 100bpm just walking around the house. It’s back to normal now a month later. Still have an annoying cough though. As you say, many illnesses cause increased heart rate.

@islivingston I almost lasted 3 years but COVID finally found me over Christmas. It tracks down all of us eventually.

Lots of questions about if future SARS-CoV-2 variants might be more or less severe.

I don’t have a crystal ball.

But in this thread, I’ll describe what happened with other rapidly evolving respiratory viruses after initial pandemic, & describe some relevant SARS-CoV-2 data.

@PeterHotez @chrischirp I had the bivalent booster in October and just got over a 9 day battle with covid. It was my first rodeo with covid and was not a walk in the park. Take care out there.

@BigJoeBastardi Global comparison of June 2022 and June 1976. Agree that isolating the UK might show a hotter picture back then but the anomalies are just a tad more widespread globally.

Hugs and thoughts are great but we also need MONEY 💷

Carers allowance is £300 per month for minimum 35hrs work per week. £3,600 per YEAR.

Yet, carers save govt £135 BILLION per year. £19,336 per carer.

I wonder what other full-time job pays £1.99/hr? 🤔 🤨

Not getting covid 10 days before Christmas is our nation's Squid Game

[Robert Radley @robertradley]

What could possibly go wrong.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Brilliant. Let's combine a superspreader variant with a superspreader event in the midst of a big surge with over 130,000 new cases today. Only in the USA

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

With Delta surging, this side-by-side of NYC shows thats the best way to avoid being hospitalized from Covid is getting vaccinated against Covid.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The overwhelming net benefit for vaccination in kids. Outstanding, by ⁦@jeremyfaust⁩ ⁦@celinegounder⁩ ⁦Katie Dickerson Mayes @nytopinion⁩ https://t.co/n50xWAAGtr

NEW: latest update on B.1.617.2 in UK

Story: https://t.co/CL0M0POz84

Thread:

First, today’s Sanger data on variants at local level. On the surface, this doesn’t look good. Cases of non-B.1.617.2 are in decline, but those red peaks are the variant sending overall rates climbing

[Robert Radley @robertradley]

@jpradley @PPaulCharles @ThePCAgency @FCDOtravelGovUK @transportgovuk @TelegraphTravel @timestravel Interesting data. Thanks for sharing.

[Robert Radley @robertradley]

About sums it all up in 2 pictures.

[Robert Radley @robertradley]

@jpradley Thanks James. It’s been a heck of a 24 hours. Last night didn’t look so good but it seems to be on the right track now. Hopefully it stays peaceful. Milford PA is a very divided village politically.
