When the CDC, who’ve completely abandoned the country in an ongoing Pandemic, is giving out a symptoms list of what to look for in an H5N1-Avian Flu infection while normalizing it, that’s when you should really be concerned about how bad it is.

Too bad public health is dead.

Violet Affleck holding it down at the LA County Board of Supervisors demanding mask availability, mask mandates in hospitals, and clean air in all government buildings including jails and detention centers. Go Violet! 😷🍉

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Mask bans were never going to stop with NC. Seeing NYC & LA considering them is deeply troubling.

Disabled & high risk people have been punished for Covid policies for years. We can’t access safe healthcare. We won’t stand for being made into criminals for trying to stay alive.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

Headed to a thing where a lot of people will be inside together? It's still super dope and good to wear a mask!

Covid sucks and you never know how it's gonna hit you. You also never know if you might be the one to accidentally spread it around!

Revisiting the long-term health effects of Covid vs flu

3 key points

1. Covid is worse than flu

2. Covid is more multisystemic; flu is more respiratory

3. Both covid and flu cause more health loss in the long-term than what is evident around the time of acute infection

Just days after the CDC weakened its COVID isolation guidelines, the White House is suspending its free home rapid test program.

This week is your last chance to order free COVID rapid tests here: https://t.co/UNk1uTBdQO

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

The CDC are adjusting COVID isolation guidance not because there's been a change in the science, but because of pressure from CEOs and politicians. This is malpractice and will only increase misinformation and mistrust.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Millions have died and developed chronic illness from COVID. Millions have died and developed chronic illness from air pollution. Making sure our buildings have clean air isn't only a COVID issue. It's a climate justice issue too.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

"The burden of disease and disability from Long COVID is on par with the burden of cancer and heart disease.

The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent COVID in the first place. There is no Long COVID without COVID."

Brilliant testimony by @zalaly! #HELPLongCovid

New cancer diagnoses in the U.S. are expected to exceed 2 million for the first time. @AmericanCancer's report underscores the need for public policy interventions to reduce cancer disparities. @ACSCAN urges lawmakers to prioritize cancer to save lives. https://t.co/N7j0CEA4r1

Act Now: There’s a child tax credit opportunity on the table that will help hundreds of thousands of families come above the poverty line. Can you take 1 minute to click the link to quickly send your Rep and Senator a message urging support? https://t.co/NiGarPQQYb

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Reminder: Hospitalizations and deaths are lagging indicators. It's important to know how much COVID is spreading, so wastewater is a key metric. Acute illness is not the only thing to be concerned about. Long COVID has serious impacts, as well as having to take weeks off work.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 wastewater data, we are currently in the second-biggest surge of the pandemic.

It will peak in the next week, with ~2 million infections per day. During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID.

[nychealthy @nycHealthy]

Flu, COVID-19 and RSV are all currently spreading in NYC. Wearing a mask in public indoor spaces and crowded places can help protect you and also protect others if you’re sick. High-quality masks, such as N95s, KN95s and KF94s provide the best protection: https://t.co/ipstVkZ4YW

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

My God. Stop what you're doing and watch this.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

“In this status quo, people are expected to ignore the threat of infection, pay through the nose if they get sick & face stigma and ridicule if they become disabled. Journalism can & should repudiate that bargain.”
