@JoeBiden Until you get ALL states to implement mandatory indoor mask mandates (regardless of #VAXXED status and #covidcases ), we'll be in this for years. Vax, mask, social distancing, and exact #contacttracing, like S.Korea, is the way out!

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@GeoffGates And one to ignore! It's all about nationwide staffing shortages. Do a Reuters search about Delta Airlines CEO. Still feverish and shedding after 5 days? Sure. Clock in. Roll the dice and continue the downward spiral. @CDCgov @CDCDirector in this country is talking out their a$$!

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@GeoffGates And NOT WEARING MASKS! ROK still slightly 2,000+ deaths TOTAL, w/less than 30% of 52 million pop vaxed (due to availability/roll out issues). Without serious mask mandates & exact contact tracing, US will stay in perpetual free fall. Take note, next pandemic. Ain't the kimchi!

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@PauleyP Getting #vaxxed is right thing to do. But in meantime numbers will only stabilize/drop w/other measures ie correct mask use, social distance, sanitizing & contact tracing. Read up on S. Korea! Only got vax NOW, but 52 million have kept death ⬇️ to 2,066 in a country size Indiana.

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@GeoffGates There are reasons why the ROK still has low numbers even tho not vaccinated. Contact tracing and serious/correct/vigilant mask use, yo! This is FAR from over, bro. Stay safe.

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@GeoffGates Still trying to figure out WTF came before the DOD 6/10 "warning" repost. Guess I was excluded. Religious profiling? Oops. You said Fri nite. It's Sat am. Just fine! And you? 🤪

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@CDCDirector Cautiously optimistic? What an understatement! You rolled the dice before it was too soon. Just wait to see how putting the genie back in the bottle goes (aka mask mandates and lock downs) when/if numbers goes back up. What a joke the CDC has become.

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@pollyqc99 @CDCDirector Thanks. IMHO, contract tracing could have done much to help the situation here in the USA if it had been used early on and was truly widespread. Unfortunately, the average American doesn't fully grasp that it's not an invasion of privacy, nor giving up freedoms/rights. Sad.

Know how you feel when you see a runner lose long, hard fought, race, just steps from finish line tape, because they started celebrating prematurely & ignored others right behind them? That's what just happened, USA! @CDCDirector @RoyCooperNC @NC_Governor @SecMandyCohen @JoeBiden

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@NC_Governor @RoyCooperNC Guess @CDCDirector is rolling dice on reverse psych 2 get naysayers 2 roll up sleeves? Wait 2 see what happens in states like NC, where many have baulked at masks since Day 1. @CDCgov is a joke of authority. Follow ROK's lead. Get FULL data/science driven plan & stick w/it 2 end.

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@NC_Governor @RoyCooperNC Latest CDC announcement 2 drop mask mandate is premature & COMPLETELY irresponsible. Numbers WILL go back up. Lived through numerous pandemics in highly organized S. Korea w/contract tracing & widespread mask use. NO data 2 support dropping mask use, especially now. Stay course!

@RepDean The time to pause closing arguments & subpoena witnesses @GOPLeader @SenTuberville @HerreraBeutler is NOW! 10 reps who voted to impeach also probably have something else to add.

[Demetra Gates @1kitekid]

@Wendys Dang. Slept through it. Is the 4 for 4 ever going to return to a something resembling an actual portion size again? So skimpy. Throw us a frostie, at least! #NationalRoastDay

America sees you and thanks you again for making today possible, USCP Officer Eugene O. Goodman!

So much insomnia since Nov '16. Today's like Xmas. Turntable's blaring "Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone. Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back He's gone..." Nothing left to do but smile, smile, SMILE!
