I did some vaccine outreach w a local mutual aid group this weekend and based on the conversations I had I don't think we're going to see a big increase in vaccine uptake in low-vaccination neighborhoods until there are visible, daily walk-up vax centers embedded in neighborhoods

By far the best description I've seen of how mRNA vaccines work is that they tell your body to make up a guy and then to get really mad at that guy

India day after day huge increases: 160,694; 185,248; 199,569; 216,850; 233,943; 260,778; Today 275,306. Urgency of actions to stop it is apparent.

I’ve been looking at data on sequenced variants. I’ve also been thinking about our vax programme & India.
TLDR: the Indian variant needs to trigger surge testing in England. And India needs to be on red list. 1/23
Infection numbers in US so unusual

We've been stuck between 55K-70K per day for 2 months!
Longest we've been flat
Crazy part? Two dramatic things going on at once
B117 took over, causing cases to explode
Vaccinations going great, causes cases to plummet
And so....we're flat pic.twitter.com/m8opIc0sHr
