Perspective:

China reports ~60,000 deaths in the past ~40 days and its front page news

Over same time, US (w 25% the pop) reported ~15,000

per 100,000 ppl:

China: 4.3
US: 4.5

Easy to lose sight & get comfortable w far too many daily deaths at home

@CDCDirector You could easily mitigate the spread of COVID and make it safer for all travelers by reinstating the mask mandate for public transportation. Instead, you are choosing an ineffective policy that will only lead to more xenophobia and hate attacks against Asian people in the US.

Covid didn’t even get a mention in these midterms. Absolutely crazy.

I think I will just put this autoplay for the rest of the day...first time any public health leader in the world has stated it this clearly..thank you @AshishKJha46.

@CDCDirector Masks. You forgot masks. How are you still the director of the CDC?! 🙄

[Renee Alsop @ReneeAlsop]

Must read thread.

[tern @1goodtern]

I've been trying to write this thread for about six months, but it's a mess.
It's full of conjecture.
It feels really judgmental.
It feels opinionated.
It feels uncomfortable.

But it's absolutely essential that we open a conversation about medical professionals and covid.

Asking my non-Native allies to share this far and wide. Thanks. 🪶🪶

[Jeff Jackson @JeffJacksonNC]

Whoa - now my congressional opponent is running an ad saying that I *support domestic terrorism.*

He's saying I side with people who try to harm us.

That's a pretty harsh accusation.

If only I had some way to fight back.

Oh wait.

If masking/testing before visits is too burdensome for others, I will not risk systemic organ damage or death for them. It’s not *normal* to ask loved ones to risk their health for you. #COVID cautious people are not unreasonable. We are not the problem. #MaskUp #COVIDisAirborne

I hope I made you proud tonight. RT if you’re ready to beat JD Vance and flip Ohio blue.

Past guidance saying people could leave isolation after 5 days may be the single biggest controllable contributor to continued Covid spread. If CDC had recommended “test to leave” and the administration had provided those tests, many fewer infectious people would likely be out.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

An isolation period of 5 days after Covid is totally inadequate for most people. New report from >63,000 people. Negative rapid tests are an essential guide

The CDC estimates that 7.5% of the current adult US population is now suffering with #LongCovid.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

It's absurd that there is no mask mandate in place for pharmacies. We need to get as many people vaccinated with the Omicron booster as possible. But it makes no sense to ask people to risk getting COVID in order to protect themselves from COVID.
