Had a scare. Co-worker tested positive. We all had to get tested. Negative results, and the co- worker is fully vaccinated, because our job mandated it.
Cousin Omicron IS NOT PLAYING.
I don’t know who doesn’t understand this by now.😠
Get👏🏾that👏🏾booster👏🏾
As #Omicron crests, booster shots are keeping people across the U.S. out of hospitals. Extra vaccine doses were expected to lower infection rates. But the shots also seem to be preventing severe illness caused by the new variant, according to the CDC https://t.co/GcaftZweGK

Three new U.S. studies offer more evidence that COVID-19 vaccines are standing up to omicron, at least among people who got booster shots. https://t.co/1ZLkshk0o5

Great example here of the acela corridor phenomenon re: covid takes I mentioned the other day
Maybe it's true in that corner of the country that it's only partisan Dems that are politicizing things (I doubt it, but I don't live there) https://t.co/7guPBJ1cmM

Love to see a bunch of political pundits and the expertise guy opine on why political considerations should be the key thing to consider in the midst of a pandemic still killing 2,000 people a day while public health folks are talking about rationing care again

From @CDCgov death rates for #COVID19 variants vs vaccination:
“Incidence & Death Rates Among Unvaccinated & Fully Vaccinated Adults w/and W/out Booster Doses During Periods of #Delta & #Omicron Variant Emergence — April 4–December 25, 2021”https://t.co/U5Jy3Dfv41 pic.twitter.com/DsTfuwCRMo— Laurie Garrett (@Laurie_Garrett) January 21, 2022
Study suggests the impact of #SARSCoV2 on the brain is opening paths of knowledge about #Alzheimers & #Parkinsons & various forms of mental illness. Long #COVID19 teaches that many chronic diseasesay have viral origins. https://t.co/x1Oc6xVm3p

More than 3,700 deaths reported today in the United States, which hasn't been seen since February 2021, the early phase of vaccination rollouthttps://t.co/xStmHRzwg2#Omicron can kill
~90% of these deaths were preventable pic.twitter.com/NQLmxPypAq— Eric Topol (@EricTopol) January 22, 2022

Covid has been linked to headaches & altered mental status in hospitalized kids. Among children who tested—or were presumed positive for SARSCoV2— 44% developed neurological symptoms & were more likely to be admitted to ICUs than kids w/o the symptoms https://t.co/VrIpoQU2Zk pic.twitter.com/SNPF8B0mnG

This article is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read and for the WSJ Opinion Page, that’s some rarefied bullshit air to breathe.
Let’s start with the authors’ facile, incorrect understanding of how variants evolve. https://t.co/QXhgku9yeZ

I admit that I have thought about it.
🚨I've had a frankly worrying number of messages from people who think the answer to the hospital crisis is simple: deny care to unvaccinated people.
I talked to ethicists and health-care workers about why this is a terrible, unconscionable idea. 1/https://t.co/Qo9dqvuPwV

Because we don’t have any open hospital beds😒
The FDA has expanded the use of remdesivir to patients who are not hospitalized. The infused antiviral, which has been widely used for hospitalized Covid patients, is now approved for high-risk patients who aren't sick enough to be hospitalized https://t.co/LwLaQVMBaO

In the U.S. more people died of Covid in the past week than died of Ebola during the whole 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic.
Maybe it’s me, but the slew of ‘the pandemic is essentially over’ articles seem a bit premature.

Every political journalist needs to spend 2022 looking into why Ron DeSantis has spent the pandemic promoting the very expensive COVID treatment Regeneron, even to the point of steering Floridians away from the vaccine so more people will get severe COVID and thus need Regeneron.

Cry more, Ron DeSantis. Regeneron itself says it agrees with the Biden administration’s decision, because the product doesn’t work against Omicron. The real question is why YOU keep doubling down on promoting a certain very expensive treatment. What’s in it for you?

Chicago Public Schools says a switch in reporting data at the school level was not meant to mislead, but some say it shows an undercount of cases. https://www.wbez.org/stories/cps-failed-to-notify-families-about-a-big-change-in-its-covid-19-reporting/2f2d532e-783a-479f-a525-de7015139988?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Web-Share
