There was a lot of “the lockdowns are causing a mental health crisis” and not enough “people refusing to wear masks or follow guidelines thereby prolonging lockdowns, increasing death and making people feel fucking insane are causing a mental health crisis”

“If [deaths] continues like this, in 4-5 days, we will have to cremate bodies on the road.”

India needs to vaccinate 10 million per day to flatten the curve (India not even close).
I’m now worried India will vastly exceed 1 mil deaths by August. #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/d9X6epyasX
Louder for the people in the back please. Israel is actively *suppressing* the virus. It’s not just vaccines. Their success is a result of many measures (lockdowns, masks, travel restrictions, strict vaccine passport system, rapid tests) with the goal of stopping transmission. https://t.co/mcvwH758th

Let's unpack the details.

Q: Did the vax (2 doses of Pfizer) work? Absolutely. It was remarkable - but not perfect.
-Of 8 unvax residents, 6 got COVID (75% attack rate), 2 died (33% death rate).
-Of 71 vax residents, 18 got COVID (25%), 1 died (6%). https://t.co/KEpnreVgiG pic.twitter.com/brLWm7lMSI
Also clear: a 50% vaccination rate for HCWs in such settings is not acceptable.

This case tells me that requiring COVID vaccination, just like flu vaccination, for working with vulnerable patients is going to be necessary.
