5 part thread on context of Covid spike: 1. Goal of lockdown wasn’t to stop virus,it was to “flatten the curve”& buy time to improve testing & treatment & to increase hospital capacity 2. Couldn’t lockdown forever & always knew reopening would lead to case increase (cont) 1/5 — PolitiTweet.org

100 leftist “protestors” in Miami: -with Communist hammer & sickle & Che Guevara flag -supporting #MaduroRegime in #Venezuela -at one point loudly chanting “Eat the rich” These kind of “protests” have NOTHING to do with racial equality https://t.co/ECZPnGsvEL (Photo Al Diaz) https://t.co/a66FZxGlmh — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately high Covid #’s are now baked in for next 2-3 weeks because they reflect infections 7 to 21 days earlier. Focus now must be getting numbers to plateau & start falling by mid-July & preventing young & healthy people from infecting those older &/or at higher risk — PolitiTweet.org

As an example,using Sunday 5pm forecast for Miami,Florida -temperature: 89 -humidity: 63% -UV index: 4 the new @DHSgov calculator estimates airborne virus will decay by 50% in 4 minutes & by 99% in less than 30 minutes This can help organize activities to best mitigate risk https://t.co/w2IMemztMF — PolitiTweet.org

The ⁦@DHSgov⁩ has developed two calculators that can help estimate how long #Coronavirus will survive based on temperature & relative humidity One is for virus on surfaces: https://t.co/OzoBY1ULx8 The other for airborne viral droplets: https://t.co/cNffAJSzW0 — PolitiTweet.org

Health officials in several #Florida counties told me today they expect peak of current surge between 15 & 23 July What that means for hospitals will depend on what we do now to prevent the much younger population currently driving this surge from infecting those at higher risk — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Mayor of Pinecrest in South #Florida hits nail on the head House parties & private gatherings have become common since late May & are a significant source of new infections here Addressing this requires personal responsibility,government can’t fix this https://t.co/g4ySg2WGSl — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Lesson moving forward: 1.Even when its not in the news,the virus is still here 2.Try to stay home more 3.If you decide to go out try for smaller groups & outdoors 4.Take extra measures to protect those in your life at higher risk 5.Wash your hands & use a mask more 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

You use mask at CVS & Publix but no one is wearing a mask or is 6ft away at a pool party or gettogether. But then a few days later you learn someone you were around tested positive so you go get tested. If your negative,you feel “clean” & keep hanging out. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

As resident of #Florida I can explain surge.After weeks in lockdown you want to go back to being human.The news isn’t about virus anymore so you start hanging out with people again. And not just at bars,but at each other’s home etc. Normal human stuff 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

No mystery behind rapid growth in positive tests,people are socializing not just in public places but especially in their homes etc. The broader concern isn’t the healthy 25yr old today, it’s their 75yr old grandparents three weeks from now. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday the Senate passed my bill establishing a commission on the status of black men & boys All of us are hurt by the fact that a significant % of Americans feel that their lives don’t matter & their issues aren’t dealt with due to their race https://t.co/99LKVvoiXK — PolitiTweet.org

There are many things which are “in his mind”, but which are not on anyone elses — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Until we have a 💉: Stay at home if you: -test positive,are sick, are 65+ or pregnant; or -have a BMI 30+;or Sickle Cell,heart,lung or kidney disease;or Type 2 diabetes Everyone else: -wash hands often;& -when you go out,use a mask,try to stay 6ft apart & if possible outdoors — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

This analysis says my comments risk “downplaying the virus’s dangerousness”such as “the ability of those people to give it to others,where the virus could manifest in a more deadly way” How can SPECIFICALLY citing that exact danger risk downplaying it? https://t.co/uTGSE7AuyH https://t.co/wCqAEfJiK1 — PolitiTweet.org

Military activity in the Western Hemisphere by any nation already engaged in direct armed hostilities against the United States would be a grave & unacceptable threat to our national security — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

The Senate has just unanimously passed our bill creating a Federal Commission on the Status of Black Men & Boys which I have worked on with @RepWilson for over a year. It’s modeled after the one we created together in #Florida over a decade ago & now heads to the House #Sayfie — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

More rational thinking: Increase in new cases ALONE is NOT a cause for hysteria & also NOT a cause for complacency The more low risk people are infected the higher the risk of high risk infections That’s why even if you are not high risk,out of respect for others wear a mask — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Politics has made people irrational 1. Until we have 💉 we are going to have more infections 2. Over 95% of people who test positive aren’t going to die 3. 80% of deaths are 65+ 4. Masks help a lot,wear one Rational response? - Wear a mask - Focus on protecting those 65+ https://t.co/V35nUfIfiw — PolitiTweet.org

My focus & work on matters of racial inequality didn’t begin last month. I have worked on these issues consistently,dating back to my time in the #Florida legislature. Because racial inequality is un-American https://t.co/Mj9SDA3IKe — PolitiTweet.org

All these cities we have seen recent police incidents in have been run by Democrats for decades They could have banned chokeholds themselves a long time ago But now denying them federal funds until they do doesn’t go far enough for Senate Democrats? https://t.co/yE5eUIdbL4 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

1. The violent anarchists don’t care about racial inequality,they just see an opportunity to destroy;& 2. Senate Dems blocked chance to make changes to police reform bill today because they don’t want to make things better,they want to win an election https://t.co/avFVQyNezb — PolitiTweet.org

#Tampa police say they received a false 911 report of a shooting When officers responded a violent crowd of rioters attacked & injured several of them Those who ignore or refuse to condemn this are encouraging actions which will eventually lead to tragic & horrific consequences — PolitiTweet.org
