Here's what the 2022 ACA Open Enrollment Period looks like so far. There's likely several hundred thousand additional enrollments from 12/15 - today which haven't been reported, plus the additional enrollees from today thru the final deadline.
Dotted lines = 2021 enrollment.

Fuck you, Matt.
My 15-yr old was THRILLED to get back to in-person school last fall, as long as there was an ENFORCED mask requirement. Now he & his friends are watching their classmates and teachers getting sick & having to quarantine left & right, and want to go virtual again.
The risk to him personally is low—he’s vaxxed & boosted—but no one is enforcing the mask mandate and both kids & staff are getting sloppier about it, not better. Having random schmoes as substitute teachers almost every day doesn’t exactly make for a strong learning environment.
Many of the teachers/students aren’t absent because THEY’RE sick but because they’re caring for a family member who is or they have to quarantine. Going fully remote would allow many of these teachers/students to still teach/attend for the next few weeks…but “hybrid” is a mess.
This is the Zombie Junk Plan that Refuses to Die. "Aliera" (aka "Trinity Healthshare") has been sued, fined or kicked out of at least a half-dozen states already, I believe.
📣 THREAD: Dems are facing strong headwinds in 2022, but DON'T accept defeat as inevitable.
In 2020 we saved democracy. In 2022 we need to do it again. It'll take more than money, but money is still an important tool. Here's links to multiple fed/state races to support: 1/
1. First, we desperately need to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! I know it’s a long shot but if the GOP takes control you’ll have lunatics like MTG, Matt Gaetz & Lauren Boebert in charge and President Biden will be impeached for existing. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…
2. It's vitally important to not just keep the #SenateBlueIn22 to retain control of judicial appointments, but to *pad* the majority to help prevent a couple of wayward Dems from throwing sand in the gears of President Biden's agenda. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/senateb…

I *knew* it...and that was when it was folks on the *left* who were ripping on her for her response (don't get me wrong, her phrasing still sounds dismissive of those w/comorbidities, but that's a separate issue).
Why the HELL did GMA edit this in the first place?
I know @CDCDirector can't stop the media from editing her comments (or the GOP/MAGA from taking them out of context), but in terms of her *actual* comments, I think the unedited version shows what her mistake was in this exchange.
She was explaining how amazingly effective the vaccines are, based on a new study. OK.
She starts by saying that the severe illness rate AMONG FULLY VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS in this study was extremely low--an extremely tiny number (0.015% is 180 people out of 1.2 million). Fine.
