📈500% hospitalizations surge—one Houston Texas hospital sees 6x rise (500% increase) in just 3 weeks. ➡️Most age<50 with zero underlying condition! 95% ARE NOT VACCINATED! Doctor: we are “Fighting a war against #COVID19 & human stupidity”.
3) Many doctors in Florida like @SolNataMD now reporting patients dying much much quicker with #DeltaVariant— no longer weeks in ICU— but dying in just days and sometimes just hours. Delta is a 2.0 pandemic virus. It’s not Wuhan 1.0 anymore.
The @CDCgov needs to recognize risks much earlier and faster. The CDC was 6 weeks behind the @WHO in declaring #DeltaVariant a “VARIANT OF CONCERN”. That was an atrociously late declaration. I love the CDC but they need to communicate faster and clearer. straitstimes.com/world/united-s…
2) As for the masking needed for vaccinated, it was clear we needed to mask because of breakthroughs in Singapore contact tracing data. Yet CDC memo had to be leaked to become public.
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…
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/…
⚠️”In last 10 days alone, before school has even opened, 4 school-aged children have been admitted to hospitals.” ~a Florida school superintendent begs @GovRonDeSantis for temporary mask mandate in schools. This FL kid was in pediatric ICU for 3 days⬇️ 🧵
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 google.com/amp/s/amp.tall…
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."
“In last 10 days alone, before school has even opened, 4 school-aged children in Leon County have been admitted to local hospitals. Two of our teachers are currently in the (ICU)” ~Florida school superintendent sends letter to @GovRonDeSantis pleading for temporary mask mandate!!
2) Many doctors on the front lines say unvaccinated patients in their 20s and 30s are becoming more severely ill, and more quickly. nytimes.com/2021/08/03/hea…
3) 5 young patients died of COVID in one Missouri hospital’s ICU unit. Let that sink in.
