@AlecStapp @Birdyword @JamesDeighan1 Tests and test results themselves lag the actual infections.

@Birdyword @JamesDeighan1 Yeah great chart regardless

For the people who were worried that the sharp decline in Scottish cases was some sort of mirage due to lower testing, or people hiding from testing/tracing - hospitalisations are now moving exactly as you'd expect from the case data.

@physicsdad23 @EricTopol @PHE_uk “higher percentage of vaccinated died than unvaccinated” - this statement is wrong, since your denominator is the number of breakthrough cases, not all those vaccinated.

@EricTopol @PHE_uk So it looks like a higher percentage of vaccinated died than unvaccinated. Is that because severe breakthrough cases are likely to occur in the immunocompromised who had low response?

The Delta variant: updates from the new @PHE_Uk report assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl… 1st dose vaccine (either AZ or Pfizer) quite protective vs hospitalization Fully vaxxed vs unvaxxed: Infections 7.7% vs 67% Hospitalizations 8% vs 48%

@enTouchHouston You are going to lose a lot of customers after this.

We are beginning to see updates in commercial power and services in some areas of Cypress, Richmond, Houston and Spring are restoring. We are continuing to work to restore service to areas in Sugarland, Missouri City and Katy. The next update will be at 4:30 PM on February 16.

@briancsalter @KOCOPatrina @abc13houston Almost all wind turbines have been frozen, which usually account for 25% of Texas power supply.

@KOCOPatrina @abc13houston External stimuli excluded, deregulation of the power grid, lack of oversight to who is providing power, and a decaying system is more of the story than the weather.

Several states have power outages today. But as of 8:30am, TX tops the list.   Texas: 4,307,010 Oregon: 219,641 Kentucky: 150,362 West Virginia: 103,089 Virginia: 77,422 Louisiana: 163,444 Mississippi: 35,268 Ohio: 25,908 Tennessee: 14,667 Arkansas: 36,499 North Carolina: 12,412

@CoonassLee @KPRC2 Go see the full video. He was trying to run away from the mob, then fell down, and then attacked by them - that’s when he opened fire.

“I just killed somebody,” the gunman, carrying a semi-automatic rifle, could be heard saying at one point. click2houston.com/news/national/…

@beefstickZz @briandeats2 Did you see the video? He was trying to run away from the mob, then fell down, and then attacked by them - that’s when he opened fire. Are you suggesting he should just let the mob beat him, probably to death?

@briandeats2 taking somebodies life vs ruining property that can be replaced is a big difference, brian

@2015_box @markets You mean Bloomberg is not western media?
