It’s 10:58am - the official winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. Days start to get longer tomorrow, and sunset is already 3 minutes later than it was last week. We made it!

My colleague @jonathan_wolfe interviewed me for the Coronavirus Briefing newsletter about planning for another pandemic winter. I'm an optimist. We have the tools we need - shots, boosters, home tests, masks -- to get back to life! nytimes.com/2021/10/08/us/co…

Hello @jonathan_wolfe TY for including a #LoveIsNotTourism story in today's @nytimes Coronavirus Briefing - "...Mr. President, please lift the travel ban, at least for fully vaccinated people like me, because this situation is hard to cope with on both sides of the ocean."

So, I tested positive for Covid-19 last week, even though I’m fully vaccinated. Consider this a PSA that “breakthrough cases” are uncommon but not freakishly rare — my doctor in Manhattan told me I was the third one she’d seen in 2 weeks.

You have a couple options: (1) always wear a mask indoors so that you don't have to think about it, (2) "like dressing for the weather...consider the caseload and vaccination rates wherever you’re going, what activity you’ll be doing, and your own health.” nytimes.com/2021/06/30/well/…

Radio pooler @stevenportnoy notes Biden, who is vaccinated, exited Air Force One without a mask this evening. Vaccinated people ditching masks outdoors aligns with CDC guidance.

What is the fastest growing variant in the US currently? Not #B117 anymore (now #2)—it’s actually the #P1 variant from Brazil 🇧🇷. So @NYCHealthCommr Dr @davechokshi is indeed correct when he rightfully pointed out #P1 is “growing” in New York City. #COVID19 (Figure from @trvrb)

⚠️Dropping numbers are usually good—except when it is declining vaccinations. US has now dipped below 3 million doses a day for several straight days now—due to hesitancy not supply (US has a glut of vaccines now). Dr @AliHMokdad warns this could mean “danger ahead”. #COVID19

13.5 million new India #COVID19 cases per day? New model by @IHME_UW says so despite only 233k official confirmed daily cases—implies a 58x underdiagnosis in India 🇮🇳. @IHME_UW models also project deaths will continue to rise until mid May—and likely 1 mil deaths by August. 🧵
