Pediatric hospitalizations are surging. Cases of all respiratory viruses surging. #COVID is rising again too. It’s time we #BringBackMasks and use that hashtag #️⃣ going forward.

#COVIDisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver
2) Not just in US, but after the start of Oktoberfest, #Covid infections in Munich have increased significantly, per 🇩🇪 RKI.

Case numbers rose 77% vs the previous week, compared to 43% in Bavaria & 29% in Germany.

Covid hospitalizations are also up.

3) There is a definitely a new #COVID wave hitting Western Europe. pandem-ic.com/covid-waves-eu…
4) Just an 80% reduction in per capita #COVID death in countries that had mask policies. Peer reviewed.

ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-…
5) the innumerable number of hospitals filling up with kids sick is disturbing. Doctors are reporting it nationwide in both Canada and US. #BringBackMasks
6) There are countless reports of #COVID destroying kids immune systems / having debilitating #LongCovid that hurts the ability of kids to fight other illnesses. We cannot let this continue! Protect kids damnit. #BringBackMasks
7) It’s absolutely disgusting and sickening that the @CDCDirector says it is okay to not mask in nursing homes & hospitals. I don’t care if cases are “not high”—people barely test & plus those hospitals and nursing homes are places you do NOT want to take chances. C’mon @CDCgov!
8) This is an A+ quote here: “"This nuanced have your cake and eat it too approach hasn't worked A SINGLE TIME throughout the pandemic. People hear 'no more masks!' "
~says @JeromeAdamsMD, who served as surgeon general during the Trump WH—let that sink in there for a moment! 👀
9) More EVIDENCE (peer reviewed) that masks do indeed work, especially premium #N95 respirators along with #HEPA filter combination. See peer reviewed study below. #BringBackMasks
10) To the deniers out there — it’s not just me warning about pediatric hospitalizations surging. The @AAPAorg is also warning about surging respiratory illnesses in kids nationwide. It’s is not some imaginary surge. It’s VERY REAL for kids and hospitals!!! Protect kids please!
11) Let’s keep this #BringBackMasks trend going folks!!! Use that hashtag now on for masking up. And RT the top post.
12) Don’t think you need to mask? Think again. Don’t be negligent with your health or neglect to protect your family. #COVIDisAirborne
13) Germany 🇩🇪 is continuing mask mandates in schools. Here is how health minister @Karl_Lauterbach explains it… I’m so glad a precautionary #LongCovid-recognizing scientist is head of Germany’s health minister and not some minimizer like in other countries. #BringBackMasks
14) We have now upset Donald Trump Jr. Darn it.

➡️ It would be very upsetting to him if we kept RT-ing the top post and commenting with the #BringBackMasks hashtag everywhere.
15) It would be a shame to upset Don Jr further with more #BringBackMasks hashtag and more retweets below.
16) Masks do protect against virus aerosols (of all kind, not just coronavirus). But 2-way #N95 masking is much more efficacious - because it has a 5x multiplier effect than versus 2 way surgical/N95 and 10x better than 1 way masking alone. 👀

ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-…
17) hospital admissions for #COVID19 are surging enormously in England. To be honest, it’s a sharp spike. #BringBackMasks

Holy shit—if you haven’t followed the near total collapse of UK🇬🇧 economy today, you missed out. Bottomline— Bank of England just did a massive single day bank bailout of £65 billion… using taxpayer money… in order to prevent banks and pension fund failing for millions. Epic🧵
These 65 billion GBP used in the bailout will be ultimately become losses by UK taxpayers and not the banks themselves.
And yes, TAXPAYERS will be on the hook.

A metro area of 300,000-400,000 people are about to be submerged underwater in Florida. Don’t look at the storm surge animation below if you want to pretend everything is okay. #hurricaneian
Literally THOUSANDS of buildings in downtown Cape Coral will be underwater.
Some people are insane. This is right now today. (The video is dated wrong)

📍VARIANTS OUTLOOK—I’m old enough to recall a few smug virologists who were adamant that “#SARS2 don’t mutate much”/ “re-infections impossible”—then tried to silence & shame anyone warning about reinfections. ➡️Well, here is our #COVID19 winter roadmap—many are immunity evading👀
2) Here is what you need to focus on —it’s scary how now there is **CONVERGENT EVOLUTION** of very specific combinations of mutations that are showing up together across many different Omicron family trees. They all are converging to IMMUNITY EVASION.
3) I’m also old enough to have seen the #COVID denialism and minimizers become wrong TIME AND TIME again… each time dismissing restrictions and then each time claiming “nobody could have foreseen this” sudden hospitalization surge! UK 🇬🇧 hospitals for example… HT @TRyanGregory

📍89.5% of the US is still in HIGH or SUBSTANTIAL transmission of #COVID19. Yet @CDCgov thinks nursing homes & hospitals no longer need masking. This is the last straw—hell has frozen over & @CDCDirector Walensky is now truly compromised. This is a very sad day. #CovidIsNotOver
Here is what lays in our future. The variants of Omicron are exploding. And worst thing is that many are CONVERGING their mutations to very unique combinations of mutations that likely evade immunity. Mutations from many different trees don’t usually converge unless good reason.
3) This is an absolute A+ quote by @JeromeAdamsMD here: “"This nuanced have your cake and eat it too approach hasn't worked A SINGLE TIME throughout the pandemic. People hear 'no more masks!' "

⚠️Ebola spread—the @WHO says #Ebola outbreak in Uganda poses "high" risk on the national level, international spread "cannot be ruled out". As of 25 September 2022, a total of 36 cases—23 deaths have been recorded, the other 13 hospitalized.

2) Outbreak at a glance
On 20 September 2022, Uganda health authorities declared an outbreak of Ebola disease, caused by Sudan virus, following laboratory confirmation of a patient from a village in Madudu sub-county, Mubende district, central Uganda.
3) As of 25 September 2022, a cumulative number of 18 confirmed and 18 probable cases have been reported from Mubende, Kyegegwa and Kassanda districts, including 23 deaths. This is the first Ebola disease outbreak caused by Sudan virus (SUDV) in Uganda since 2012.

Swabbing correctly for #COVID19? Most are not. @IamKGB tests—

1) VERY POS—back of throat, cheeks, roof of mouth & both nasopharyngeal w swab held in place for 10s.
2) NEG—outside portion of nostrils
3) NEG—anterior nares/nasal septum
4) FAINT POS—throat & cheeks
5) Repeated #1
2) I have long warned that we need to swab the mouth and nose together. But now it seems also **swabbing the cheeks & holding the swab for an extended time** may be better than just nose or throat alone or together without cheek!
3) Been advocating for *both* throat combined with nose swab for weeks. Both the science and lots of anecdotes supports it. Many countries do it too—but cheek swabbing for extended time is new swab approach.
