America generates a quarter of world's daily Omicron infections and a quarter of global deaths – and both are rising. This really shouldn't be happening. pic.twitter.com/48yND5Prqe

What happens when one of the best vaccinated (90% total population) countries in the world gets Omicron?

A problem with analysis like this: It's likely there's FAR more underreporting of cases than last winter. Why?

* At home tests now likely >=50% of overall volume
* Huge demand overwhelming in-person test facilities
* Omicron milder = cases easier to misshttps://t.co/a2M6ldWY6A pic.twitter.com/bIxOSSXIF7

Pay attention to *who* is having the highest incidence of #COVID19 cases at the beginning of this first #Omicron wave. They are mostly Black (NH) and Hispanic, in urban areas, similar to our 1st wave. Think about who our essential and service workers are.https://t.co/5yr5peajsy pic.twitter.com/7CR1IrK2s5

But big spike ⬆️ for unvaccinated. https://t.co/tbjifc8cMT pic.twitter.com/ScL8eZcAzJ
The U.S. makes up 4% of the world’s population, but yesterday we made up 32% of its #COVID cases (probably an undercount). The current pandemic strategy is not working. This is more than about just getting people vaccinated. We need to control the spread now. https://t.co/kkb9Ly0hmJ

An unvaccinated 30-49 year-old is more likely to die from COVID than a vaccinated 65-79 year-old.

But the GOP-stacked Supreme Court doesn't care, they're going to use antivax propaganda to rewrite national policy and we're supposed to pretend it's a principled legal decision. https://t.co/jTEalwq8Z7 pic.twitter.com/HXKCKU5pbf
Since last May, people living in counties that voted heavily for Trump have been nearly three times as likely to die from covid as those who live in areas that went for Biden. @DanielPWWood @gbrumfiel https://t.co/cMladyXlVA
