Stay safe during high winds- move inside and away from windows.

When the power is out, keep refrigerators and freezers closed to avoid food poisoning. Stay warm with coats and blankets. Never use a gas stove indoors or run a car in a closed garage.

What questions do you have about COVID that you still haven't seen a good answer for?

#COVID19

[Public Health - Seattle & King County @KCPubHealth]

COVID-19 community transmission is now HIGH in @KingCountyWA. Here's a reminder on where to #MaskUp:

✅ Indoor public spaces
✅ Private businesses and workplaces as requested
✅ Public transit
✅ Healthcare settings
✅ Schools, childcare, and congregate settings

[King County Executives Braddock & Constantine @kcexec]

Daunte Wright’s life mattered. The pain of yesterday’s outrageous, tragic shooting, especially while we await justice in the Chauvin trial, is a stark reminder of the pain and insecurity felt by Black Americans day in and day out.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

I’m happy to announce that effective April 15, every adult in Washington will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.

[Ken Anderson @KenAndersonKC]

“I am very humbled by all the people who want to do the right thing and be part of the solution,” -Francisco Arias-Reyes of @KCPubHealth.

Great to see how the COVID-19 #vaccine process works and what to expect.

[Public Health - Seattle & King County @KCPubHealth]

Thank you to @VillageReach for partnering to provide #COVID19 vaccines to thousands of King County residents!

Check out the video below for a great walk-through tour of our vax site at ShoWare in Kent.

[Ken Anderson @KenAndersonKC]

Remember who is at greatest risk from COVID-19 while we wait our turn to get vaccinated-- and help those you know who are eligible schedule their appointments!

When we think about seeing parents for Thanksgiving, remember they would be coming into contact with more than just us: https://t.co/ME7d6mm42H @KCPubHealth

[Mike Famulare @famulare_mike]

The recent explosion in #COVID19 cases and rising hospitalizations in WA is due to increasing prevalence in the community. Here's what we know about how many people are infected and what it means for your risk at Thanksgiving and other gatherings.

Reminder: access to health care is a basic human right. "Nearly 1 in 12 deaths in people under 65 took place at home or in an emergency department, suggesting they may not have had access to health care..." https://t.co/rKGSqB7Uon #COVID19

Our partners at Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network asked about 8,000 people how often they wear a mask and physical distance in public.

There's good news and bad news. Here's what we found out.

Do male scientists get scolded for politely declining media requests? I talked to five separate reporters today. I need to get my work done.

The Seattle group, SCAN, that sounded the alarm on the US #COVID19 outbreak & spearheaded home-testing is running again after a freeze from the FDA. They’ve also released data from almost 12,500 self-collected samples. (Thread)

[Public Health - Seattle & King County @KCPubHealth]

SCAN has tested 8,443 at-home kits for #COVID19 since March 23, finding 72 previously undetected cases across the county.

Volunteers from South @KingCountyWA, children and teens are still needed to understand how the virus spreads. https://t.co/ZUBosoKpfb

[Trevor Bedford @trvrb]

If we look at confirmed cases through time in the US, we see a plateau of ~30k confirmed cases per day for basically the entire month of April. This corresponds to a decrease of the effective reproduction number to ~1. Figure from @cmmid_lshtm's https://t.co/4aEyWj2Ql8. 2/10
