U.S. workers with severe cases of #covid19 may be covered by a law prohibiting disability discrimination in the workplace, while milder cases would not qualify, according to guidance by the agency that enforces the law. https://t.co/11LJ3xnhwM

A prior Covid infection gives you some immunity, but immunity differs from person to person and it's difficult to determine how strong your immunity is and for how long it will last. Get vaccinated to boost your protection against the virus.

One of the serious data issues is lack of data on race and other social/political/economic determinants/influencers oh health (SDOH)
This continues to hamper our recovery. We need data on both infections and vaccinations among those who lack paid sick leave.

Whenever a vaccinated person gets Covid, it's a reminder of just how formidable the virus is. But vaccinated people are far less likely to get seriously ill or die from it. Better for your immune system to be prepared for a fight with a dangerous microbe than not.

Vaccination greatly reduces your risk of getting Covid, and, if you do get it, of becoming severely ill or getting long Covid. But you can reduce your risk further—especially if you're older or immunosuppressed—with other important tools such as masks, distancing and ventilation.

Uncontrolled spread anywhere is a potential threat everywhere, and there's no reason to think that Delta is the worst the virus can deal us. That's why it's so important that we scale up vaccine manufacturing, especially of mRNA vaccines, to protect the world.
