2/ Data on vaxxed (breakthrough) vs unvaxxed cases & hospitalizations in Colorado always comes up as an important question. ⬇️
So get yourself & family vaxxed. But if even so, still important to be careful right now. #MaskUpColorado

4/ The thing is ... we KNOW how to slow down a disease driven primarily by inhalation of airborne particles. But we've still got to DO it:
- vaccination
- well-worn masks
- better ventilation + HEPA filtration
- be outside if in groups
- test, quarantine

5/ And following the grim news about COVID hospitalizations in Colorado (which BTW has statewide full-vax rates >72%: covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine-data-d…).

6/ This tweet sums up the response by state leadership.
Cases & hospitalizations rising nearly everywhere in the state (incl. nearly a quarter of new hospitalizations who are vaxxed).

7/ The top tweet with an article about crisis care in Colorado hospitals is apparently paywalled. This one today by @CODaleyNews is freely available:

8/ Connected with the rise in COVID hospitalizations across the state:
