HUGE—Federal judge rules in favor of 12 immunocompromised students claiming Virginia's new mask-optional law violates their rights under Americans with Disabilities Act. Ruling now now applies where the 12 kids attend—their schools can require masks again.
wtop.com/virginia/2022/…
2) this is huge. But it’s a preliminary injunction that temporarily protects these 12 kids. Let’s hope the ultimate ruling protects all kids!
3) The students in the lawsuit have conditions including cancer, cystic fibrosis, moderate-to-severe asthma, Down syndrome, lung conditions and weakened immune systems. Fairfax County, the state’s largest school system, had asked to be heard in support of the lawsuit.
4) However this initial Virginia parents lawsuit is not a class action suit. It is only on behalf of the 12 immunocompromised kids. But hopefully this first Virginia ACLU federal lawsuit will set precedent for others to come to challenge mask mandate bans.

5) it’s really critical not to drop the ball right now when COVID is surging again… #MasksWork and we need them again.

⚠️Holy moly—Gosh, 6-9% of all people across England Scotland Wales N Ireland tested newly positive for #COVID19 in just 1 week!!! Wowzers. 97-99% of people in 🇬🇧 already had antibodies. #BA2 reinfection is real. Hospitalizations surging. Don’t play games.

2) so is this reinfection wave driven by #Ba2 subvariant? Hell yes the increase is driven by almost all BA2 in England Wales Scotland. #CovidIsNotOver
3) Show me hospitalizations surging in England under the #BA2 wave… here it is—it’s about to surpass the old Omicron wave already! And hospitalizations are surging across all major groups.

⚠️Don’t look up… because #COVID19 cases have completely flattened, reversed, and/or surging again in the mega states of Florida, New York, California, Texas. (This is even log-scale—⬆️ more than it looks). So, #CovidIsNotOver—no matter what TV pundits claim.

Figure @DrWilliamKu Image
2) The new reversal and surge is COMPLETELY expected and predicted by the #BA2 increase. And the worst is yet to come because BA2 is not even 50%. But it will within 1-2 weeks. Then cases will be growing even faster.
3) like England’s surge, this is likely soon America’s fate as well. A lot of mitigations have been dropped recents and more will be dropping end of March. Not good combining no/little mitigation + #BA2 same time. Double whammy.

⚠️BA2 is now 34.9%

A wise mentor once taught me—whenever you see exponential change—#BA2—it’s safe to assume among 3 things:

📌Something new / different is driving it
📌It must be either faster/better/stronger
📌Something new will likely occur soon

Figure @DrWilliamKu #COVID19
2) this is now cases and hospitalization in UK which has been #BA2 dominant for many weeks. England hospitalizations is already approaching their December peak… and surged quite quickly after cases rose I might add (perhaps under testing during early surge?)
3) England lifted all restrictions on Feb 24th… cases surged again. This coincided with also #Ba2 surge. So England is having a double whammy of both dropping mitigation and BA2 at the same time. Way to effing go @BorisJohnson

📊Don’t be deceived by low case counts—

📌US has one of the lowest #COVID19 testing rates per capita

📌US testing has fallen substantially

📌Home testing + are almost never counted in official statistics

📌Wastewater shows plateau & reversal.

📌CDC risk levels mainly uses 🏥
2) this is why we need to look beyond just the raw case counts. We have much more home testing that almost never reported and we are closing more mass testing sites around the country. We are running more and more blind.
3) Don’t allow others to gaslight you that everything is fine. Lots of dangerous denialists and minimizers will tell you to look away.

Look at this graph📈 & quote—“Let me try to say it politely. If you thought Covid was over, you’re an idiot. Sorry. I don’t mean to be rude, but people who bought this foolish notion, that “Covid is over,” need to get real”—by @umairh #CovidIsNotOver
eand.co/if-you-thought…
2) “Covid’s surging again, around the globe. In Hong Kong, the line is almost vertical — and this time, we’re talking about deaths. Britain, Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland, China, South Korea, the Netherlands, — all countries where Covid’s spiking, yet again.”
3) “Finland has 85% more cases than last week. Austria has more cases now than at any point in the pandemic.”

The WHO says all this is just “the tip of the iceberg.” reuters.com/business/healt…

We live in the STUPIDEST timeline—#BA2 is rising and inevitably surging, yet many states close most of their mass testing sites even when public health experts warn it is TERRIBLE HORRIBLE NO GOOD VERY BAD idea. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #CovidIsNotOver

2) Dr. Anthony S. Fauci predicted on Sunday an “uptick” in coronavirus infections similar to the current increase in Europe, despite the current decline in cases.

3) It is “no time at all to declare victory, because this virus has fooled us before and we really must be prepared for the possibility that we might get another variant,” Dr. Fauci said.” “And we don’t want to be caught flat-footed on that.” nytimes.com/2022/03/20/hea…
