We are officially back to getting crushed by #COVID, and for #pediatricians this wave feels *worse* in many ways. And as a pediatric hospitalist who has been a front-line COVID doctor for the entire pandemic, I’m going to share what I’ve seen the last 8 days on service. 1/
@CarlaCoonAuthor@yannaandal I think the important message here is although there is great news about a decline in COVID-19 levels, the virus is still present and the least we can do is continue to minimize its transmission by wearing masks.
@CarlaCoonAuthor@yannaandal I understand there is a downwards trend given the lower number of hospitalizations and deaths; however, the leading hypothesis in these studies is the virus mutating into a weaker strand to spread easier. Just because less people die does not mean the virus is gone.
@CarlaCoonAuthor@yannaandal I realize that not everyone is able to interpret these results with a scientific background, so let me simplify it for you. Dead not virus, mask we wear must.

@CarlaCoonAuthor@yannaandal Science is a good place to start for tracking the progress made on understanding this virus, especially since they made this content free to access.
