BREAKING—Florida shatters its all time high daily record with 11,515 hospitalizations—the highest admissions per hospital bed in the US. FL’s 2020 year record was 10,170. Louisiana surging as well as rest of the South and part of the Southwest. 🧵 #COVID19
2) Not only are hospital beds filling up… “Hospitals around the state report having to put emergency room visitors in beds in hallways and others document a noticeable drop in the age of patients.” ⚠️

google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.…
3) Positivity % of #COVID19 also surging nationwide. Especially the in South.
4) Beware of COVID deniers out there who say hospital inpatients are low… misleading… you have to look at “STAFFED ICU UTILIZATION” — *staffed* ICU is the key. Not enough doctors and nurses and RT for all beds.
5) #COVID19 cases surging nationwide but in the Deep South… its horrid. But even highly vaccinated states are surging too. It’s just a matter of time until their hospitalizations rise more too.
6) Florida reports are pretty bad lately… meanwhile everything remains open for business with no masks and no vaccine entry passes… this will just keep snowballing in Florida.
7) Dr Mark Kline Physician-in-Chief at Children's Hospital New Orleans: "#DeltaVariant is every infectious disease specialist's worst nightmare. There was a myth—that children were somehow immune—It has become very clear that children are heavily impacted"
8) Critical surgeries are now being pushed off by the latest surge. That will be hell for so many more patients waiting for treatment.
9) Let this also sink in— #DeltaVariant has now invaded Wuhan… we have truly come full circle. Florida is simply among the fastest surging. Other states and countries are not safe.
10) I know Florida’s Governor @RonDeSantisFL idiotically won’t mask. But he should for his own sake.
11) Notably, we now need to upgrade to more premium masks—let’s go at least KN95, KF94, FFP2, or full N95 / FFP3 / Elastomeric for the more hardcore.
12) LET THIS SINK IN— 1 out of every 1900 Florida residents are laying in a hospital bed right. If you bought 153000 lottery ticket today, your chance of winning the jackpot = your chance of being in the hospital in Florida. @GovRonDeSantis @RonDeSantisFL???

HT @StevenTDennis
13) I hope for Florida Man’s sake he doesn’t become more Florida Man after COVID… because… #LongCovid is real.

An epidemiologist from Johns Hopkins walks into a maskless party with 14 fully vaccinated friends… 11 of 14 got breakthrough #COVID19 —so yes, even some epidemiologists had severely underestimated #DeltaVariant. @CDCgov definitely made a grave mistake.
baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
2) “It was bad luck for my friend, but surely she wasn’t that contagious. Surely all of us were immune. I’d been sitting across the room from her. I figured I’d stay home and isolate from my family for a few days, and that would be that. And even that seemed like overkill…
3) “The official CDC guideline stated that, since I was fully vaccinated, I didn’t need to do anything different unless I started developing symptoms…” (seriously what the hell @CDCgov)

BREAKING—Los Angeles is considering a proposal to require proof of #COVID19 vaccination for entry at most indoor dining & sporting events to curb #DeltaVariant. If passed, it’d be the widest-ranging vaccine entry pass system in US. Respect @lapublichealth!
latimes.com/california/sto… Image
2) “The motion would require eligible individuals to demonstrate they’ve received **at least one vaccination dose** to visit indoor places such as restaurants, bars, retail stores, gyms, spas, movie theaters, stadiums and concert venues.” ➡️one dose not enough for #DeltaVariant!
3) Vaccine for entry… The Biden administration is developing plans to require all foreign travelers to the U.S. to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, with limited exceptions, according to an administration official. nytimes.com/2021/08/04/us/…

2) Leon County School District Superintendent Rocky Hanna is calling on @GovRonDeSantis to give school districts "flexibility and autonomy" to act to protect students amid a surge in COVID cases that has taxed hospitals locally & statewide. @RonDeSantisFL

3) Hanna on Wednesday morning specifically said he wants to temporarily mandate masks in schools for teachers and students pre-K through 8th grade "who are not eligible to receive a vaccine."

CHILD ENDANGERMENT—Florida's second-largest school district last week imposed a mask mandate—but on Monday said it will no longer impose mandate after @GovRonDeSantis (R) threatened to withhold funding from districts that require face coverings. #COVID19 🧵axios.com/desantis-flori…
2) @browardschools County Public Schools announced last week that it would require mask use after the CDC issued new guidance recommending universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students and visitors to K-12 schools this school year, regardless of vaccination status.
3) DeSantis on Friday issued an executive order barring local school districts from requiring students to wear masks when they return to the classroom next month.
