ICYMI—the CDC put out a nationwide warning about an outbreak of enterovirus #D68 last week. Between all the DOJ investigations & royal news, you probably missed it. But hospital pediatric beds are filling up with with this respiratory outbreak.
2) Yes, doctors report PICU hospital beds are full.
3) Here is the CDC warning— EV-D68 — a virus that in rare cases can trigger a polio-like syndrome — is circulating. That could presage a surge in cases of acute flaccid myelitis or #AFM in the coming weeks, experts warn.

📍Don’t let infamous COVID minimizers like Dr M Gandhi try to gaslight you that COVID is the flu, nor let them move the goal 🥅 post on what constitutes a pandemic. She’s also once said India was at herd immunity in early 2021–and then 4-5 million people died when Delta wave hit.
2) Monica also infamously mocked and downplayed variants as “schmariants”. What a disgusting statement.
3) In case you want to know how HORRIBLY wrong Monica has been on COVID pandemic since the beginning… I present to you this epic classic video clip from @mehdirhasan @MehdiHasanShow —

Great editorial by @washingtonpost Editorial Board—and why I’m a subscriber.

Did you also know—15 million will lose Medicaid coverage if Biden declares end to pandemic emergency?

“No, President Biden, the pandemic is not over.”

2) But the pandemic is surely not over. The seven-day moving average of daily deaths in the United States is nearly 400 and has plateaued at this terrible level since April. The average of new daily cases is 60,000, way higher than in the spring.
3) Weighed down by the virus, average life expectancy of Americans fell in 2020 and 2021, the sharpest two-year decline in nearly 100 years.

Scientists have developed a mask that lets wearers know if they’ve been exposed to COVID or influenza. A sensor built into a mask was able to detect the #COVID19, H5N1 & H1N1 viruses in the air within 10 minutes and send notifications to a device.

2) The new device, which is mounted outside the mask with a rechargeable lithium battery, was tested by spraying pathogens on it in an indoor setting, simulating a scenario where someone is talking or coughing.
3) Sensors responded to liquid about 70 to 560 times less than the amount produced in a sneeze, sending alerts to wireless devices like a phone.

No cost estimates were published on the accessory.

“I was blindsided.”

Reply to @mehdirhasan that Biden declaring pandemic over “is something I would expect from the last president… We’re almost turning a blind eye to all of the deaths and to all the long Covid out there. It’s ableism.” #CovidIsNotOver
Being able to criticize your president for his statements regardless of what party he belongs too, even if your own party, is what makes American democracy great. And respectfully sir, you’re wrong on this. Pandemic is not over. #CovidIsNotOver
If you make a promise, Mr @POTUS, then you should keep it. #CovidIsNotOver

Promises made… promises need to be kept, @JoeBiden. Thank you. Image
PANDEMIC. IS. NOT. OVER.

#CovidIsNotOver
Anyone who thinks pandemic is over is living in their own fantasyland, or has been woefully misled. See thread 🧵 below why #CovidIsNotOver

Is the pandemic over?

⚠️Hell no—Not even close.

🔹 Excess mortality still exceeds THIRD global cause of death!
🔹#LongCOVID itself is a pandemic crisis
🔹Evolution of new virus variants not done yet
🔹Transmission still very high

2) I’m still shaking my head at what Biden says. If he only knew how much I stuck my head out and sacrificed for him in 2020…
3) ➡️Now "Biden’s insistence on Sunday night that the pandemic is over caught several of his own health officials by surprise. The declaration was not part of his planned remarks ahead of the “60 Minutes” interview" politico.com/news/2022/09/1… Image
