⚠️BREAKING—Pediatric #COVID19 hospitalizations surging in Florida, now ~4x previous levels. New analysis from our team of HHS hospitalization data shows that as pediatric hospitalizations surge, adult hospitalizations are slowing, but remain at record high. Figure by @wkdragon88
2) Folks— it just got worse for Florida #COVID19 deaths… spiking NEAR VERTICAL increase.
3) this follows analysis just released by our team yesterday that pediatric cases have now surpassed adults per capita.
4) this was just 10 days ago. Deaths have just surged from ~200 per day to now over 300 per day!
5) this is damn avoidable.
6) Keep in mind that when Florida releases its data tomorrow - it will be in a completely different and dubious reporting format meant to take advantage of delayed death reporting.
7) trust the real data and follow the overflowing morgues in Florida.
8) if hospitals run out of oxygen… then it’s truly game over for thousand hospitalized. Florida hospitals running low and constantly tread-milling to keep up.
9) I trust hospitalization data the most. Why? Because hospitals have to directly report to HHS. It never touches Florida DOH office. It can’t be fudged by testing quirks. It’s cold hard hospitalizations. And the cold hard facts is that we are endangering kids. 🔥
10) Also, right wing deniers who try to say the above pediatric data is some axis trick…. Ummmm there is no other axis on this graph of just kids. The hospitalizations are surging. Period!
11) If you don’t mask, vaccinate, and ventilate, you will get more school outbreaks and infect more kids. Period.
12) someday I hope there is a damn tribunal that holds those leaders who endangered kids accountable. In the very least, have history document them for all posterity.
13) Ron DeSantis has blood on his hands when it comes to kids…

#DeathSentenceDeSantis

14) Gov @GregAbbott_TX also has blood on his hands. Two teachers in one school district dead. Soon after school reopened. Just like that. abcnews.go.com/Health/texas-s…

💡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… Image
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. Image

📍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.🧵

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.”

⚠️Over 18,000 Mississippi students got #COVID19 in the first month of school. ➡️ Teachers say the state of education in Mississippi is a tragedy & want a mask mandate. 🔥A child even died days after @tatereeves claimed COVID only causes “sniffles” in kids.

2) MASKS WORK. For example, one study in Wood County, Wisconsin, last fall found that schools that required masking had a whopping 37 percent lower ⬇️ incidence of COVID-19 than the surrounding community. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
3) Another study, conducted in Salt Lake County, Utah, last winter, found that high levels of mask wearing among students helped keep the rate of in-school spread of the coronavirus to under 1% — even as COVID-19 cases were surging in the wider community. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
