Oh how awful. Mom and all 6 kids got COVID, mom did not make it. There's a GoFundMe in the link.
Since this started, it feels like we've been parked, especially regarding #kidsandcovid. Here's a groovy thread to help show us that history helps understanding in science, too.
Wyandotte County is seeing an imp in the rate of new cases. But one age group — 10-17 years old — is testing positive at a rate above 15%, according to the data.
So sad. COVID-19 cases among children surge in Georgia. The number of Georgians under the age of 18 diagnosed with COVID-19 has jumped 65% in the past month, with more than 21,000 testing + since March #kidsandcovid ajc.com/news/atlanta-n…

Missed this: US Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November 2019 say "sources". We warned others apparently - Israel and NATO.
I saw something in Nov 2019 that made me start watching and translating tweets from China. I didn't believe it was plague. 1/
I read NYT and thought the doctor didn't sound sure of her diagnosis. The rabbit eating bubonic plague pneumonia. I said nah.
What's weird is maybe it was that and I started scanning for more and coincidentally was aware of everything that happened into the Dec 31 announcement.
Because I was on increasingly high alert into the holidays and stopped shopping in crowds the week before Christmas. Intuition that hasn't happened with pox, etc.
Is it the clicks? Bc it's weird "normal" media are taking the FDA release and stressing the part about the investigation but not the conclusion - that the signal is not showing an > post-vax.
NYS gives 10 of 20 *ventilators* for *the whole state* to Oishei Children's Hospital in Buffalo as respiratory illnesses are on the rise in kids.
Why is this, @NiagaraErie? 2 of your supts were interviewed for a story asking about masking in schools. They said unnecessary!

Read what 2 Superintendents said about masks in schools (they said no) and *at the same time* NYS is providing 10 VENTILATORS for kids to a hospital in Buffalo.
@NiagaraErie masks help keep kids off ventilators. Ventilators are bad.
Meanwhile Children's Tylenol, other medicines are in short supply on WNY shelves @NiagaraErie again via @WGRZ I'd hate to think you aren't following this news.
Anyone caring for a sick child has likely noticed a lack of over-the-counter medications.
White House’s Jha says winter surge is unlikely — mask mandates off the table
Ashish Jha, the White House COVID-19 coordinator, does not expect the U.S. to experience a substantial holiday surge like it did last year with omicron. “We are in a very different place, and we will
remain in a different place,” Jha told the STAT Summit in Boston on Tuesday, noting that 90% of Americans have received at least one dose of vaccine and “a large chunk of Americans have gotten infected.” While he acknowledged that newer variants could change the picture, Jha said
“I believe we are in a way better place no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.” He added that Americans are unlikely to see the return of any mandatory virus mitigation measures such as indoor masking requirements or attendance caps on large gatherings.
