The past 2 days in the US, 3,902 MORE people lost a battle with Covid.
3,902 MORE empty chairs at the table.
3,902 MORE families shattered.
But I get how wearing a mask is difficult for you.
This is not “normal”.

If I had #COVID19 and had the choice between 5 days of Ivermectin or burritos supreme Iād take the burritos because as far as we know at this point the outcome would be the same and I loves me some burritos supreme

I was discussing #vaccines and #COVID19 yesterday with someone who disagrees with me regarding pretty much the whole thing
They made me realize something important, but I had to calm myself down and listen to do so

One of the most frustrating things about when someone asks if #COVID19 hospitalizations/deaths are “with” or “from” Covid is that by asking that question it immediately reveals they donāt really understand what theyāre asking. Let me explain. A š§µ. [1/10]

Stunning data from @CDCgov: Unvaccinated people 65 & up are 52X more likely to be hospitalized from #covid19 compared to the vaccinated/boosted.
For 50-64 year olds, the difference is 46X.
Major difference in every age group, including 12-17 year olds.

In #Indiana and the rest of the U.S. we hear a lot of talk about “personal freedom” when it comes to #COVID19, but little acknowledgement of the “personal responsibility” that goes part and parcel with that freedom. /1

Requiring vaccination for travel is hardly radical.
I discussed w @Smerconish that mandating #COVID19 vaccines for travel both encourages more individuals to get the shot and reduces spread in close quarters.

Why is there a #Covid19 test shortage?
When vaccines became widely available, everyone thought testing was going to be unnecessary, and we sort of had neglect.
That turned out not to be benign. We need layers of defense, including vaccines AND testing.

What good is it to tell people to test for #Covid19 before indoor holidays gatherings if they cannot find tests? We need tests to be accessible and affordable for everyone if we want to be able to prevent spreading infection.
