Thread: High quality masking is safe and effective at stopping Covid transmission. Yet we play these games and do not bother to tell the public to mask up. Lets see some examples of how Masking works
Mask Use and Ventilation Improvements to Reduce COVID-19 Incidence in Elementary Schools — Georgia, November 16–December 11, 2020. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
We knew in 2020 that mask work and we know it now yet no one wants to do it because their reputation or whatever excuse they have because they were told Covid is no big deal.
If 80% of Americans Wore Masks, COVID-19 Infections Would Plummet, New Study Says vanityfair.com/news/2020/05/m…

Short story thread: I drive for several different delivery apps one of them is roadie which does many things including prescriptions. I was doing a pharmacy delivery from a CVS earlier today went into the CVS and back to the Pharmacy like I normally would.
It is Sunday so less people working. I see an employee coming back from break maskless of course. The pharmacist ask him are you ok? Employee says yes. Meanwhile he looks about to pass out. Pharmacist says again are you ok?
Employees says yea I think I'll be fine. He then proceeded to get my delivery. Now I will never know for sure but I must wonder if he was sick or has long covid.
Thread: In today's pandemic update, I came across several wastewater sites where Covid is once again rising. In this thread, I will show some sites where that is occurring. I will be adding more to this as I find them. We will mainly look at major cities in this.
1st off here is one of the bigger wastewater sites in the Chicago area, Cook County. After what should have been a peak and drop, they have not started to rise once again.
But if you think it is just happening in Chicago, you are wrong. Now take a look at Boston, Massachusetts. There has been a quick turn around from the drop, and they are once again rising for Covid in wastewater.
This covid wave is coming in fast and it shows no sign of slowing down most people do not realize how fast things are getting bad. With no masking anywhere and no immunity, there are going to be a ton of very sick people over the next few months.
For those whom do not have to interact with the public and can go back into hibernation at home safely now is the time to do so. We are on the upside of multiple new variants with back to school and Labor Day weekend coming it is always worse when you have events on the UP side.
Also add this in outdoor transmission is real and football season starts soon. Again, when you have big events while a variant is still growing, it is much worse than when a variant has peaked in growth.
I have seen some bad studies before, but this one is just total garbage. After I had covid in 2020 I told my previous dr's office I was not feeling well still and had a lack of energy they gave me a BS story covid did not yet exist here and that my issue was not enough exercise
For the crowd who says #covid is mild. Some of them who get it get hospitalized. I wonder how mild their hospital bill is if they do not have good health care? I am sure millions are getting blown away by medical bills related to their covid infection.
Think about it a father who is married with 2 children has a good paying job. Suddenly he test positive for covid either ends up hospitalized or gets long covid. This is destroying lives some are having to sell their homes because they can not afford them and become disabled.
But here we are the mild narratives continues and no one gives a rats alpha aside from the 1-2% of us yelling at the top of our lungs here on twitter. If anyone is ok with all of this maybe you are 1 of them Please get your head examined.
