According to @CDCgov’s data, C19 deaths and hospitalizations are trending upwards. We lost nearly 3,000 precious lives in the week ending Dec7, 2022. At least 9000 people died with C19 in November. ( @Forbes )

Hospitals across the U.S. are feeling the strain of the triple threat of C19, flu and RSV that’s crowding up emergency rooms, causing hospitals to run out of beds, worsened by the shortage in trained staff.
 
The CDC’s lag in requiring indoor masking in response to the current crisis is causing confusion. Though some local health agencies have started to recommend universal indoor masking and outdoor masking in crowded public space, some people won’t act until the policy is in place.
 
Under the CDC’s leadership, our public health policies vary by state, even county. It’s messy and confusing for the general public to follow, especially for people who travel frequently for their jobs. We need consistent and accurate educational information that promotes the layered approach in mitigation measures.  Besides reminding people to complete the primary series and getting the boosters and #Flushots, they need to remind people to test, wear masks, increase ventilation and avoid unsafe congregations.
 
Testing is super important!
🔹Test before gatherings.
🔹Test again before returning to work or school.
🔹Test when showing symptoms and stay home.
🔹Isolate till symptom free and test negative 2X.
🔹Report C19 home test results at @MakeMyTestCount.org.
 
Your test results can help @NIHgov and the CDC provide more accurate community levels.
 
Companies shouldn’t wait for the CDC to set Mask Requirement and enforce it for the safety of the workers and customers. Nothing is more important than our health.
 
Read the Forbes article and learn the details about ordering the rapid C19 tests at CovidTest.gov. Everyone should order asap because it takes time for the order to be processed and shipped. Free tests will also be distributed at major food banks, according to the @whitehouse.

The time to #MaskTogetherAmerica is now!
 
#Flu, C19 and #RSV are preventable. Layer on sensible measures (primary series/boosters, testing & medication) for 'needed' protection & to reduce the strain on healthcare systems.
 
We agree with @lapublichealth @nycHealthy @CAPublicHealth @CDCgov. (View their pages to see the original posts.)
 
Let’s do this together!
🔹#ɢᴇᴛᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴀᴛᴇᴅ and boosted if you can, when you are eligible.
🔹#MaskUp even if you are boosted.
🔹Wear a mask in indoor public spaces including retail, transit, worksites, venues, & around others.
🔹 For the best protection, wear a high-quality mask, such as a KN95 or KF94, or an N95 respirator.
🔹Travel safely.
🔹Test before gathering with friends & family.
🔹Stay home till symptom free.
🔹If sick, wear an N95 if you have to leave home for unavoidable reasons, such as hospital visits or getting medication from a pharmacy.
🔹Cover your cough/sneeze & wash your hands frequently.
 
We need multilayered approach for #publichealth messaging. Let’s make an effort to protect the #elderly, the #immunocompromised and everyone with underlying #chronicillness and #medicalconditions. Wearing a mask is about love. Health is a human right.
