Across the United States, thousands of people with #COVID19 are being hospitalized each week and the number is steadily trending up — a sure sign that overall cases have also been on the rise.

More than 12,600 Americans were hospitalized with COVID-19 last week, an increase of 22% from the week before

Yet every healthcare facility has removed their mask mandates including the oncology departments.

What in the fk are we even doing ?

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

So many have been sold on the idea that #COVID19 is not only a mild inconvenience, but also a short lived one.

However even after “mild” acute episodes, risk increases for everything from diabetes to dementia. And now this. 👇🏽

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

As COVID rates rise, new variants spread, and hospitals, schools, and workplaces are reinstating mask mandates, the CDC is preparing to weaken guidelines for infection control in healthcare settings (again). https://t.co/L4PZxH3SGM

[The John Snow Project @JohnSnowProject]

Absolutely correct of @ashishkjha to flag that BA.2.86 may represent an increased transmission risk. People should follow the official US & international government guidelines to protect themselves against Long COVID:

CDC needs to urgently reform—@CDCgov's original #COVID test didn’t work. Experts have called it the “most consequential” of the agency’s pandemic missteps because it stymied efforts to contain #COVID19. 🧵

In a study of 6 million people, we examined risk trajectories of 80 components of Long Covid over 2 years post-infection

📌 Risks remained elevated for many Long Covid conditions even 2 years infection

According to a new study, people who endured even mild cases of COVID are at heightened risk two years later of two dozen medical conditions including lung problems, fatigue, diabetes and certain other health problems typical of Long COVID. https://t.co/8znWa5ygbc

Triggers Are Your Teachers.

A Guide To Working Through Your Emotional Triggers:

Step 1: Identify Your Triggers: when you have a strong emotional reaction pause and notice it. Adrenaline will rush through your body, just feel it. Allow it.

Step 2: Have The Courage To Look: don't distract yourself or react to it. Learn from it. Journal about what you were thinking or feeling and, you will notice patterns (ex: I am emotionally reactive when I feel like I'm being ignored, or not seen)

Step 3: Self Soothe:
"I am safe"
"I can do difficult things"
"It's ok for me to make mistakes"
Soothing ourselves through a compassionate inner narrative allows the emotional response to pass.

Step 4: Set Boundaries: let's say a trigger for you is feeling not good enough from growing up in a critical home. A friend jokingly calls you an idiot.

Set a boundary: "I know you're joking, and I just don't like being called an idiot even in a joking way.

The more you practice, the more in control you'll feel when triggered.

You'll develop self trust and confidence.

Learn how the placebo effect — or the idea that your brain can convince your body a fake treatment is the real thing — could be just as effective as traditional treatments under the right circumstances. #HarvardHealth https://t.co/UZcCW8SdD6

@mryoung151 If you had an Omicron infection before and also want to have an updated booster, go get one, and it will perform well. But if you never got Omicron nor boosted with Omicron-containing vaccines, you may need two updated boosters to work well.

[Maria Van Kerkhove @mvankerkhove]

Brief update on #Omicron XBB.1.X👇

XBB sublineages incl XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, XBB.1.9 are dominant worldwide. Surveillance is so so impt.

Be vigilant. Each week millions of people (re)infected, hundreds of thousands are in hospital & thousands are dying from #COVID19.

Be safe.
