Please know, that @GladysB did this without ever offering essential workers respirators so that we could get R<1. Never deployed rapid tests to the community. Never in a whole year sorted out ventilation in schools or workplaces.
Decided that all children under 12 and 30% of the eligible population could be left to sink or swim in their own having never even had a chance to access a vaccine!
Every time you read of an unvaccinated death in the coming months (which may include children), or of vaccinated persons with waning immunity dying (which will include HCW)… please know… it was @GladysB that made that decision.

@shaz_harro There is going to be a honeymoon period as the high vaccination rate, together with ongoing mask use and school closures take effect.
A sense of confidence will return and further opening up. Preparations for Christmas will begin.
@shaz_harro Case numbers will increase slowly until the opening up occurs. For a short while even after restrictions are loosened all will seem well… and then the slow ramp of cases will begin again.
@shaz_harro If schools go back without adequate multi-layered mitigations, and it seems likely an attempt will be made to do this, children’s cases will skyrocket.
If you can’t save yourself from the first infection, you may avoid a second or third. If you can’t save this generation, you may save future ones from this scourge. #TargetingZero🦠mississippifreepress.org/15715/in-missi…
