Pandemic Blues

I exist because Colorado failed at Covid prevention strategies. Amplifying those who expect more from elected officials & public health depts. #PolisPandemic

Friends, a great & effective way to cover your coughs and sneezes is to #WearAMask.

Thanks for coming to my talk. Help our #Colorado #Pediatrics #kids #childhealth #babies #hospitals #MaskUp

Respiratory viruses, including RSV, flu, and COVID-19, are spreading across Colorado and the nation. Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting your COVID-19 and flu vaccines, staying home when sick, and washing your hands.

Speaker Johnson is only one of at least 13 high-profile GOP extremists who've endorsed Evans, who faces CO Rep. Yadira Caraveo in one of the most competitive congressional races in the country. Here's a list of Evans' MAGA endorsers. https://t.co/nYKOBRNDrM #copolitics #CO08

The problem with Gabe Evans is that two onion layers deep you discover he is a frigging weirdo. #copolitics #co08

Real progressives lost to moderates who could afford to LIE to manipulate voters into thinking they were the MOST progressive. Colorado lost to big money interests. They are protecting the status quo with wolves in sheep's clothing.

[Chelsea Castellano @CastellanoChels]

There is a narrative forming that progressives in CO lost to moderates, but don’t get it twisted. Some progressives lost to moderates who spent $$$$ claiming to be the more progressive option. The takeaway isn’t that voters don’t want progressive candidates. Quite the opposite.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the rapid antigen tests are trash against the variants circulating and causing this latest #COVID19 surge.

This is a great thread explaining why people seem to be getting sicker these days.

If you dont remember this part of Biology/Health class & it makes this thread hard to follow, Netflix’s StoryBots has a great episode explaining Tcells & Bcells.

Yo, I know RSV and the flu don't SEEM like a big deal, but our ICU is overflowing with elderly who have both, along with teenagers, because our local Children's is overwhelmed.

Could y'all just be a LITTLE careful with yourselves this holiday season?

COVID in Colorado:

Cases Added today: 1299, up 2% from last week's initial report (1274).

This is higher than any thursday since 8/10.

The 7 day avg rises 11.7% to 1115.6 from 998.9 last week.

[Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment @CDPHE]

The state is offering free masks at participating locations! Anyone who wishes to wear a mask to lower their risk of getting COVID-19 is encouraged to do so, especially in areas with higher COVID-19 levels. Find a distribution site near you at: https://t.co/cBSAnNNisJ

[Love thy neighbor: wear an N95😷 @CCSDMaskUp]

Please remember that many of our local libraries are still offering free, quality masks. CDPHE is reminding us of this... which probably means its time to wear masks again if you havent been.

RSV cases increase across Colorado as hospitals prepare for influx of patients https://t.co/KPVqGzfMXQ

[Lise Trafor @ritz_bitz14]

I transported 10 kids over the last week with RSV alone. Children’s Hospital in Colorado Springs had zero beds left on Monday night and the ER had a 6+ hour wait. But yeah, go on about how this is a political issue. Dumbass

[Love thy neighbor: wear an N95😷 @CCSDMaskUp]

There are critically ill kids in Colorado waiting for hospital beds (ie, waiting for the care they need) because Children's Hospital is overwhelmed with respiratory illnesses. We can all help by reducing the spread of RSV with Masks. Save Gabe. Save our Kids. #Maskup #ImIn

The 7 day avg rises 14.8% from 943.9 last week to 1083.6. This is the highest 7day avg since 8/11.

COVID in Colorado:
Cases Added today: 499, down 2.9% from last week's initial report (514).

The 7 day avg has risen 14.7% from 896.1 last week to 1028.3.

Decreases in todays reports might be attributable to Friday's holiday, which may have included testing site & lab closures

My kids school held an assembly today to celebrate Veterans. It was indoors and almost entirely unmasked. There were easily 1000 people in the room. Doors and windows were closed. 20 minutes after the event started, CO2 in the space was 2700 and climbing. We left.

Children’s Hospital Colorado is now postponing surgeries and other procedures in order to have the staff and space to treat children with RSV, the flu and COVID-19.
