Sobbing teacher—“We are trying to protect our students from a mass shooting that we know is coming & cannot do anything about except [people don’t agree on masks to] stop the onslaught of students & staff who are likely to get sick—and that makes me sick”😢
2) Teachers are now actively discussing how to find “affordable attorneys so that they can make a will” (if they die) 🔥
3) More deep questions— “If I die, who’s going to take care of my children? And if I end up in a hospital, how am I going to pay those bills? And if I give #COVID to my students or my own children, and they die, how am I going to live with that?” 😢
4) Who is this passionate teacher? Her name is Jenny. Here is her full impassioned speech. tiktok.com/@heartsouljoy/…
5) Teachers and kids need protection alike. This is what is happening to our children during the new #DeltaVariant #COVID19 wave… oh but infection in kids is acceptable?!?!
6) We need all parents and teachers to demand ventilation and air disinfection standards now for all classrooms!
7) are we okay with this? I’m not. Many Florida schools have reopened. But they can’t mandate masks. God help our children.
8) Listen to this pediatric infectious disease doctor…

📌Florida is #1 in nursing home resident & staff #COVID19 deaths in August.

📌Florida is 2nd worst for nursing home staff vaccinations—only 48%.

📌Florida is #1 in new staff cases—94% of nursing homes had staff infected in August.

So @GovRonDeSantis?

2) BUT—“It’s hard to assess the current toll of the virus on people living and working inside long-term care facilities, as Florida stopped sharing this data with the public in May.” ⚠️
3) “Federal data used in the AARP report lags by about two weeks, and does not include information about the situation inside Florida’s assisted living facilities, which are not required to report to the national government.”

💡AMAZING BOOSTER DATA—New study shows 3rd shot has 91% efficacy (11x ⬇️lower risk) against #DeltaVariant infection versus 2 shots (>=5 months earlier) among age 60+. Plus, 3rd shot has ~95% efficacy (19.5x ⬇️lower risk) against severe disease!🧵 #COVID19 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
2) moreover. The enhanced booster effects begin being apparent after day 12, increasing higher effects starting even day 10 after the shot perhaps.
3) most were not that elderly either 60-69. I’m also glad to see they enrolled 14% Arab population. The bulk were vaccinated in early February. Thinking of all the people who got vaccines before March that could benefit from this.

📍NOT ENOUGH TO STOP VARIANTS—U.S. population immunity against #COVID19 still insufficient to resume pre-pandemic social behavior—still not enough #vaccination / natural immunity—need more masks & ventilation on top to prevent additional waves of variants. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…
2) “The mean overall population immunity was 62.0% (CrI, 58.4% to 66.4%). Adults aged 65 years or older were estimated to have the highest immunity level (77.2% [CrI, 76.2% to 78.6%])…”
3) HOWEVER- “children younger than 12 years had the lowest immunity level (17.9% [CrI, 14.4% to 21.9%])” acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

⚠️HOLY CRAP—11% of Israeli kids who got #SARSCoV2 now suffer from #LongCovid, says study of parents of 13,864 #COVID19-infected kids ages 3-18. ➡️Worse, they also found #LongCovidKids even among 3.5% of the kids who were **asymptomatic**👀—that’s serious!
timesofisrael.com/more-than-10-o…
2) More than 200,000 children under 18 have tested positive in Israel, with about half of them asymptomatic, the survey said.
“The meaning of this is that there are currently thousands of children in Israel suffering from long-term effects,” the statement said.
3) “these findings are in themselves distressing and call for further investigations into the effects of the coronavirus period on the cognitive/mental health situation of children in Israel,” the study said.

📌Fake #COVID19 tests likely used by over 150 people to board flights home after a pilgrimage—Israeli police investigating.
Offenders could be charged with fraud, forgery and spreading disease—criminal offenses that can lead to 5 year prison sentences.🧵
nytimes.com/2021/09/12/wor…
2) About 25,000 to 30,000 Israelis, most of them male Hasidic Jews, traveled to celebrate the Jewish New Year. Israel’s Health Ministry found that dozens of them had arrived back in 🇮🇱 infected with the virus despite carrying documents indicating that they had tested negative.
3) Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office said in a statement that it “views with utmost gravity” the entry of people with forged documents, “willfully spreading a disease,” adding that severe action would be taken against offenders.

Heartbreaking—5 kids are now orphaned after both mom+dad (age 37/39) dies of #COVID19 weeks apart. The baby was born by C-section while mom was on a ventilator, doesn’t even have a name yet.😢 Grandparents haven’t told the kids parents died yet. #vaccinate latimes.com/california/sto…
2) this story truly truly broke me. “The couple and their four children all contracted the coronavirus after a trip to Big Sur in July, which included a stop on the way back at an indoor water park in Orange County, Serey said. Davy was seven months pregnant when she got sick.”
3) Ironically sad— “Davy was a labor and **delivery nurse** at Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center. Daniel taught **math** at Jehue Middle School in the Rialto Unified School District.”
