So lets talk about them

📍Global supply chains buckling again—“ #DeltaVariant has devastated parts of Asia …captains unable to rotate crews & about 100,000 seafarers stranded at sea [is] a flashback to 2020 & the height of lockdowns”—some expect to last into 2022 now. #COVID19

"The unvaccinated have been behaving as if they were vaccinated, which has disincentivized them from getting inoculated and contributed to the surges we are now seeing." https://t.co/O4Z6WI9Mja @DrLeanaWen

Delta “is about a thousand times more infectious than the original strains” of COVID. This helpful article recommends:

- socializing outside as much as possible
- opening windows inside; better than purifiers
- masking up indoors when outside your bubble https://t.co/c0f0EoCdhP

“At present, there are two big anchors to conventional thinking on Delta: the vaccinated remain exceedingly well protected; and the unvaccinated remain exceedingly vulnerable. But a third fact seems, to me, to be just as significant.” A thread (1/x) https://t.co/qTtZyt7Abg

Today I got my first COVID-19 vaccination dose. I am extremely grateful and privileged to be able to live in a part of the world where I can already get vaccinated. The vaccine distribution around the world is extremely unequal. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/C7vVEpEiGt
