1/ "Hospital staffers & public health managers in southern Oregon say it’s never been this bad. And it’s apt to get worse as the super-contagious delta variant of COVID19 spreads through a region where fewer than 1/2 the residents have been fully vaxxed"🧵

2/ I completely agree with The Oregonian here:
“Oregonians need local leaders to step up their efforts to share vetted, accurate information, improve vaccination rates and encourage measures that help control the spread”

3/ I know a handful of Oregon Republicans who are doing the right thing & encouraging folks to #WearMasks & #GetVaccinated - the two things that will help get this Delta surge under control. I'm grateful for their leadership - it's no small thing in this environment

4/ Unfortunately, we need more local Republicans to step up. Case in point: Rep. Wallan's latest newsletter acknowledges the dire hospital situation in Southern Oregon but doesn't mention vaccinations or encourage masks or other precautions

5/ I'll keep sharing fact-based updates (mostly on my official FB page: facebook.com/RepJulieFahey/) on the pandemic, precautions people should take, and info on how to get vaccinated & tested

6/ But, given what's happening in our hospitals, we need more Republicans to share the public health messages that will make a difference. And fewer using the frustrations we're all experiencing with the pandemic as cudgels against Gov. Brown & Democrats generally
