PAY ATTENTION—There is one crisis we all needs to pay attention to—and that is the unprecedented Brazil 🇧🇷 surge of the #P1 variant, overloaded hospitals, & sharp mortality spike. If more contagious #P1 out of control worldwide, we are all endangered. 🧵#SOSBrazil #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/GYSRobnUFk

3) I’m not exaggerating that hospitals in Brazil are in collapse. This is the headline of a major newspaper. pic.twitter.com/86lFKsFuAy

5) Nobody can deny the pandemic when hospitals are completely overrun. Don’t let anyone dismiss #COVID19 and what is happening in Brazil – hospitalizations and deaths DO NOT LIE. pic.twitter.com/ewXcfMaF8G

7) I’m told by reporters that even “we're also hearing very consistently, that in Brazil more and more young people are dying on the virus. doctors keep telling us that their patients keep getting younger, no comorbidities” – from doctors across many cities. @MattRiversCNN

9) Another Brazil research group puts #P1 transmission at 2x faster than old strain (instead of 2.5x above), but they estimate a way worse whopping 25-60% reinfection rate. That’s serious. https://t.co/56XYvV8IXN pic.twitter.com/9nB8KZLdPY

11) But the problem for Brazil is that it doesn’t have the mRNA vaccines. It has the AstraZeneca and SinoVac vaccine. We don’t know the exact efficacy yet for #P1, but SinoVac vaccine showed a much lower 50% efficacy in Brazil trials, before P1. https://t.co/KH1VJlNAKH

13) state of Rio de Janeiro suspended its vaccination campaign because it had run out of vaccine supplies.

"This is a disaster, a total disaster," a woman told CNN after being denied her vaccine. "Who is to blame for all this? I think our leaders, our politicians suck."
15) How the hell did Brazil screw up its vaccine supply so much?

“multiple experts say the ineptitude of the federal government, led by Covid-skeptic Bolsonaro, has sabotaged. They point to a distinct lack of urgency on the fed govt to secure supplies”https://t.co/IzFpkNR8Eq
17) Even with vaccine imports, and the delay in rollout and immunity kicking in, the next month will be brutal for Brazil. We might see what unmitigated full onslaught with a downplaying Bolsonaro looks like.

Meantime, Brazil ordering 3x the coffins. https://t.co/yAPAOcA5sd
19) Meantime, Bolsonaro is the one person that world leaders need to call out and pressure. He is literally stopping all efforts to improve the situation. This is untenable.

If this Brazil crisis keeps going, I worry for its stability. https://t.co/Yg5WfLsiFs pic.twitter.com/84d37msFty
21) To the rest of the 🌎—please don’t be selfishly withholding aid/vaccines. If Brazil’s #P1 crisis grows, so will the risk for the world. We rise as fall as one planet & civilization. We need to remember the motto—“All for one, one for all”—let’s all find our inner humanity. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/M3EfvH5TYr
