⚠️Damnit folks--📌DEATHS DOUBLED, 📌HOSPITAL TRIPLED, 📌EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS QUADRUPLED--we are in a sharp surge in ER visits (4x), hospital admissions (3x), and even deaths (2x) due to #COVID19. It's in the damn published data--but NOBODY in the media is talking about this numbers! Why?!?! This data is over 12 days old too--no excuse. We still have super dense folks quibbling if this is a 'surge' or not, and quibbling if we should even test anymore. A sharp 2x rise in deaths, and 4x rise in ER visits nothing to worry about? Don't be a ghoul. Think of others too--have empathy for your family members, friends, and neighbors, and think of their #LongCovid risk too. Each re-infection adds to the cumulative risk of LC, which CDC says LC can last months and even YEARS! ➡️Oh, and @CDCgov, try to put PREVENTION first, not just hand wave about 'having the tools' and merely cheap talk about 'handwashing' @CDCDirector Cohen! Like many other parents, my child also caught COVID early last week, and so I am a very pissed off parent. Stop putzing around--the Biden WH, CDC, states, cities, workplaces and schools all need to take this seriously. And for the love of God--use N95 masks in all hospitals/doctors offices, plus clean indoor air is not political--get HEPA filters & cheap Corsi Boxes in all schools and workplaces. I beg you. #COVIDisNotOver #MaskUp #CleanAirForAll covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
