Sure, let’s keep using @CDCgov's calm green "Community Level" map that overemphasizes hospitalizations & deaths instead of the "Community Transmission" map that clearly demonstrates (high & growing!) infection rate.

That totally helps ppl make "informed decisions" about risk.🙄
In highly vaccinated #SanFrancisco, 7-day positivity & average daily case rates are growing significantly, despite decreased testing -- both are close to or above their highest levels throughout the entire of the pandemic, outside of the massive omicron surge.
Though @WhiteHouse @TheJusticeDept have appealed a court decision striking down federal mask mandates on public transit, they have not requested a "stay" to keep masks ON until a final verdict.

🧵from @FenitN's piece in @washingtonpost is important but would benefit from some edits:

"Covid deaths no longer overwhelmingly among unvaccinated as toll on elderly grows"

[#MarkedByCOVID commentary in brackets]

washingtonpost.com/health/2022/04…
"The pandemic’s toll is no longer falling almost exclusively on those who chose* not to get shots, with vaccine protection waning over time...

[*Note: inaccurate language that blames victims; cultural & structural barriers to vaccination remain.]
...and the elderly and immunocompromised — who are at greatest risk of succumbing to #COVID19 even if vaccinated — having a harder time dodging increasingly contagious strains*."

[*Add: "and increased community spread due to decreased mitigation efforts like universal masking."]

🧵ICYMI: @DCodeDemocracy's @AnnMRavel & @MarkedByCovid's @kdurquiza talk about how to fignt #vaccine #disinformation and end #Covid_19 in @CNN's Perspectives:

cnn.com/2021/09/01/per…
In May 2020, just before AZ's infection rate soared, Gov @dougducey encouraged residents not to stay home. "I want to encourage people to get out and about," Ducey told listeners of a popular radio show. "If you don't have an underlying health condition, it's safe out there."
The interview was then shared on @Facebook and @Twitter. Many people listened to that dangerous advice — and many, including @kdurquiza's father, Mark Urquiza, paid with their lives after contracting the disease.

"To say that we’re on the brink of disaster offers hope that the people in charge can take steps to keep us from plunging toward an abyss. It suggests that the situation is at least temporarily sustainable, that maybe you can keep hunkering down and doing what you’ve been doing👇🏾
...and everything will be fine. But it is not sustainable, and it is not fine. The health care system is not approaching some kind of cliff, while still functioning—what is happening right now is killing people like Daniel Wilkinson. People who do not have to die are dying."
"My time as a doctor has been defined by working in a system that has already collapsed. The American health system I work in has featured limited personal protective equipment, oxygen shortages, and the construction of field hospitals in convention centers and parking garages...

It's been eight months since Congress passed the CARES Act. Since then, millions have gotten sick, hundreds of thousands have died, and countless families have struggled through this crisis alone.

We need a second relief bill and we need it NOW. actionnetwork.org/forms/2012_ema…

(1/4)
(2/4)There's no good reason for this hold-up – Mitch McConnell has been gatekeeping a second relief for every single family in this country for months and the effects have been devastating.
(3/4) Food lines are growing longer, the CDC's eviction moratorium is set to expire soon, and there are 9.8 million fewer jobs in the economy. And now we only have 9 DAYS to secure a second relief bill.
