The new policy to test international travelers from China for COVID is racist and will likely increase racist and xenophobic anti-Asian attacks - which have been happening throughout the pandemic - and does nothing to stop the COVID variants currently spreading in the US.
This policy is a continuation of long-standing discrimination in the United States against people of color, where anti-Asian racism fuels medical ignorance, placing blame on Chinese people for the failings of the US. bit.ly/3WT50at
These travel restrictions, much like the South African travel ban earlier this year, happen even while the US and European countries are having COVID surges, suggesting COVID is only dangerous when it comes from China or other non-European countries.

To @NYCMayor and @NYCHealthCommr:
A message from the New Yorkers of the People’s CDC —
“Urging” and “Strongly Urging” people to mask is insufficient. Your approach of “leading by example”—while wearing a floppy surgical mask instead of a highly effective one (KN95, KF94, N95 or better)—isn’t going to get the job done.
One of us is COVID positive today because of your refusal to mandate masks. Another had to escape your in-person work requirements by finding a new job. We are unable to use public transit or shop with our pre-mask-age children. Our hospitals are full. Our neighbors are dying.

The US is in a surge. The CDC’s Community Levels map hides that fact. Use the Community Transmission Map instead.

Our CDC COVID Maps video explains the difference between the Community Transmission map.

The CDCs pastel green map creates the false impression that the pandemic is over.

This is a Covid map from today. (12/10/2022)
This is also a Covid map from today. (12/10/22)
How does this happen? And which map is useful to you, a person who does not want to get or spread Covid.

This map – which is almost entirely red – represents COVID transmission per capita. The CDC creates this map by gathering COVID case numbers from local health departments.
