Sobering video—“We never saw this last year”—of numerous children and young adults hospitalized who were completely healthy, but now stricken with severe #DeltaVariant. ➡️best 3 minutes you’ll watch all day. Thanks to Dr. Catherine O’Neal of @LSU. #COVID19
2) Louisiana is the only state with higher #COVID19 rates than even Florida. All of the Deep South are now in full blown #DeltaVariant driven surge.
3) tons of kids now in pediatric ICUs. Pediatric ICUs now maxed out in many southern states. Don’t let kids be a statistic. Everyone in an ICU is fighting for their life like this boy. We must not stand for this in our society.
4) Adults not vaccinating is the main reason kids are getting infected. And people not vaccinating is the reason for variants to arise.
5) Remember these words—the #DeltaVariant “holds on more tightly and infects you more deeply, and is making young people sick”. PERIOD. ⚠️
6) a growing mass of experts agree - the #DeltaVariant is much more severe and severe for children more than ever before. We need premium masks for kids.
7) Kids not only need masks, but they need HIGHER FILTRATION premium respirator masks, such as KN95 or KF94 or FFP2, in very least. Pediatric respirator masks are harder to find with adjustable ear loops, but they are available…. See thread 🧵 below. Stay safe my friends.
8) Why take this seriously? Kids hospitalizations now at an all time record high during the pandemic. Pediatric ICU beds running out in many states and regions. Wear a high filtration respirator mask for yourself and for your kids.
9) I’ve ordered these kids KF94 respirator masks with adjustable ear loops for friends and family. (No referral commission conflict)

Kids need HIGH FILTRATION premium respirator masks against #DeltaVariant!
10) Here is a detailed database on commonly found premium KN95 and KF94 masks for adults and kids compiled by @masknerd. It provides filtration test results for each mask. Product links to order are provided too. (No commission). docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u…
11) this is a good move— suing to stop the ban against mask mandates is needed to save children’s lives against #DeltaVariant. Can @GovRonDeSantis be pro kids lives and health instead of being pro #COVID19 ????
12) Florida is not doing well… and its governor is instead meeting with mass-infection-herd-pushing people as his experts. We are screwed.
13) don’t sacrifice our kids for some political propaganda for “freedom”. Our kids deserve better.

⚠️Even youths with *mild or asymptomatic* initial #COVID19 infections may experience #LongCovid—affecting schooling, sleep: 11-15% of infected youths might “end up with this long-term consequence—pretty devastating for school performance” says NIH chief🧵

2) “Will Grogan stared blankly at his ninth-grade biology classwork. It was material he had mastered the day before, but it looked utterly unfamiliar.
3) “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he blurted. His teacher and classmates reminded him how adeptly he’d answered questions about the topic during the previous class. “I’ve never seen this before,” he insisted, becoming so distressed that the teacher excused him

EPIC—“I wanna talk about this whole not getting vaccinated and then running to the hospital when you get the virus-thing. ➡️ If you don't trust doctors enough to take their advice and get the vaccine, then why do you trust doctors once you catch #COVID?"❗️
2) “Freedom” does not mean the freedom to recklessly endanger others. But that’s what anti vaxxers and anti maskers are basically doing in a deadly pandemic.
3) I want to talk about “freedom” more — my family had immigrated to America 🇺🇸 for all its many freedoms—which are amazing. But freedom to smoke on planes ✈️ and restaurants aren’t allowed anymore because SECOND HAND SMOKE kills! Your right to smoke ends at someone else’s nose👃

📍BREAKING—the FDA is expected to authorize a third shot of Pfizer & Moderna #COVID19 vaccine as soon as Thursday for many people with weakened immune systems—to better protect them from the #DeltaVariant. This follows Israel—already started in July. 🧵

2) The expanded EUA covers people who have had solid organ transplants and others whose immune systems are similarly compromised. The development will give physicians latitude to recommend additional shots for those patients.
3) “At least 3 percent of Americans have weakened immune systems for a variety of reasons, from a history of cancer to the use of certain medications such as steroids.”

BREAKING— California will require all school teachers and staff to have proof of #COVID19 vaccination or be tested weekly. It’s the first state to do so. Mandates gain momentum both among public and private employers amid #DeltaVariant surge. #vaccinate
nytimes.com/2021/08/11/us/…
2) Many large companies, including Google, Disney, Tyson Foods and Microsoft, have announced some vaccination requirements for workers who would be returning to offices and plants.
3) While initially California officials emphasized they were merely encouraging everyone to get vaccinated, the governor announced late last month that the state would require health care workers and state government employees to be inoculated or be tested at least weekly.

TIGHTEN THE FIT of masks. Sloppy masks leak a lot—especially backwards & to the sides. This is why we need to either double mask, tighten the straps, or wear tighter fitting masks with good nose bridge seal. #COVID19 #MaskUp
2) this is loose mask issue is partly why the CDC recommended people to either double mask or wear a specially knotted surgical mask with tied ends. See thread 🧵 for details.
3) Kids not only need masks, but they need HIGHER FILTRATION premium respirator masks, such as KN95 or KF94 or FFP2, in very least. Pediatric respirator masks are harder to find with adjustable ear loops, but they are available…. See thread 🧵 below. Stay safe my friends.

NEW—The ⁦@CDCgov⁩ just recommended that pregnant women be vaccinated against the coronavirus, updating its advice after it found **no increased risk of miscarriage among those who have been immunized**. #vaccinate #COVID19 washingtonpost.com/health/2021/08…
2) Until now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said the vaccine could be offered during pregnancy; the recent update in guidance strengthens the official advice, urging pregnant people to be immunized.

nytimes.com/2021/08/11/hea…
3) “The new guidance brings the C.D.C. in line with recommendations made by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other medical specialty groups, which strongly recommend vaccination.
