Once upon a time, kids were allowed to smoke 🚬 . We stopped exposing kids to cigarettes when we learned it was bad. ➡️We now know #COVID harms kids’ brains & health. Yet we somehow keep letting kids get exposed to the harmful virus & #LongCovid. Find some humanity. Protect kids.
This is chart showing pediatric hospitalization for #COVID19 surging 45% in just 2 weeks in England. No, the kids are not alright. Stop this madness of infecting kids. Protect them damnit.
Reminder— Kids do indeed get sick. And do indeed get #LongCovid too. And they do transmit to other families. You cannot deny the dangers.
If you don’t accept secondhand smoke / environmental tobacco smoke for kids, don’t accept classrooms without either masks or at least ventilation or air disinfection if no masks. Protect kids please. Don’t be a ghoul and dismiss risks in kids.
Furthermore, #COVID cases currently surging the most in secondary school kids in UK. But almost all age groups s have either flattened and turning upward or already going up.
P.s. I hate tobacco and smoking ads. They are just the worst scum of the Earth things… behold this Philip Morris ad…
If you care about kids, then also protect their parents and grandparents. Orphaned child’s trauma is more much worse than any excuse you can conjure up not to protect them. Protect kids please. Have a heart. If you don’t have one, borrow one or find one.

More than 800 participants—About ~1/4 of 3400 attendees surveyed, including dancers, of this year’s Awa Odori festival 🇯🇵held from Aug. 12-15 were infected #COVID19. Likely higher since many didn’t respond. Similar thing at Burning Man this year too. Sigh.

Burning Man had reportedly a huge outbreak too this year of #COVID19. No official tallies (cuz it’s Burning Man), but lots of reports of COVID among returnees.
3) “According to organizers, anti-infection rules in its guidelines were largely observed.
However, some of the guidelines, including avoiding the “sanmitsu” (the 3 Cs of closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings) in dressing rooms, were not strictly adhered to.”

Incredibly sad—material to make 5 million N95 respirators are going to be just thrown away. All because the public now misled that the “pandemic is over”. Wait until the winter surge comes—we will regret this. #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp

Thanks for sharing @larmbrust
2) And hell no, the pandemic is definitely not over whenever it’s killing this many people per week… ranked as #2 killer as of early September.
3) unless we change course, we will be on this high death rate plateau for quite a long time. And winter will inevitable bring a bigger surge.

📍This is bad—Putin just made “some not so oblique nuclear threats” ☢️ in his speech and has mobilized more forces, says security expert Dmitri Alperovitch. See full speech translation below 👇

Follow Dmitri— @DAlperovitch.
2) the translation thread 🧵 got broken. Here is the bottom of the split translation thread. Bottomline - Putin made some major mobilization and “not so oblique nuclear threats”.
3) this is a bad escalation for sure.

📍CONFIRMED—White House COVID rules require that @WhiteHouse reporters meeting with the @POTUS are still required to get a same day negative PCR test, per @ddiamond. Doesn’t sound like pandemic is over. #CovidIsNotOver
2) Also the estimated deaths in mid Sept also clearly don’t support pandemic being over either. #covidisnotover
3) COVID is clearly not over. Besides bad comms, I worry about all the vulnerable people who are immunocompromised or have risk factors out there—which is a LOT of Americans. #CovidIsntOver

⚠️TOP 2 CAUSE—Oh hey, guess what was the #2 leading cause of death in the US on Sept 9? ~4100 deaths that week.

🔹1. Heart Disease
♦️2. #COVID
🔹3. Lung cancers
🔹4. COPD

Someone tell @POTUS @JoeBiden that pandemic is not over.

(Data: @IHME_UW @AliHMokdad) #CovidIsNotOver
2) Also, there is a new detailed study that shows 60% of excess deaths in Singapore were directly from #COVID19 while the majority of the remaining “non-COVID” deaths were deaths within 90 days of COVID infection. So indirectly still COVID. 👀
3) And yes, 3000-4000 is the ballpark since we do see 400-500 direct COVID deaths a day regularly lately. That’s not even counting COVID-exacerbated illnesses.

The @US_FDA is warning against a social media challenge which involves people coating their poultry in NyQuil—the “NyQuil Chicken Challenge”, warning it could have very dangerous outcomes — not just if ingested but from cooking process.

Oh c’mon people.
nypost.com/2022/09/20/fda…
Just to be clear— it’s real. The @US_FDA is very serious warning about this.

3) Boiling a medication can make it much more concentrated and change its properties in other ways. Even if you don’t eat the chicken, inhaling the medication’s vapors while cooking could cause high levels of the drugs to enter your body. It could also hurt your lungs.
