This makes no sense. Can anyone challenge @CDCDirector on her refusal to recommend masks?
@ASlavitt @adamcancryn @Alexander_Tin @margbrennan @kasie @rachelnpr @COVIDOversight @PTF_org @AmerMedicalAssn
📍Let this sink in—@CDCgov just had to add a new color (purple) for the newest level of VERY HIGH rates of “influenza-like illness”. And hospitals🏥 are getting fuller with kids… but @CDCDirector says only 2% US should mask—irresponsible. #BringBackMasks

A Chinese business consultant in a Ted-style talk justified zero-Covid policy by saying that in 10 years the West will be brought to its knees b/c long-Covid, which will decimate most of its labor force.

A worthwhile read, not paywalled.

#COVIDIsAirborne #BringBackMasks have been trending in the week that a CDC Director's tweet about the flu, RSV & #Covid19 precautions didn't include anything about face masks or air filtration/purification
Here's my coverage for @forbes

My god—This projected sign reads “Kanye is right about the Jews”.
Jacksonville, Florida football game at @UF—- FL Governor @RonDeSantisFL flipped the coin at the start of the game, and his family attended the game.

2) Hand washing is of course important overall for health. But it’s a half assed message regarding COVID at this stage. If you don’t include either mask or airborne mitigation such as ventilation or air disinfection, you’re doing it wrong. The @CDCDirector should know better.

Walensky needs to go. Gosh, telling people to ignore an **AIRBORNE VIRUS** with hand washing didn’t work out well did it? ➡️ We need a new @CDCDirector.
I think we need to get #BringBackMasks and #COVIDIsAirborne trending again. Because #CovidIsNotOver

Peter Marks: possibly adding more boosters for adults, while withholding them for under 5s.

Peter Marks, last we checked, children under 5 are still ineligible for bivalent boosters, so why did you call our citizen petition for #COVID19 vaccines for children "moot"? With no mask mandate & no access to bivalent boosters, kids still have almost NO protection! @FDACBER

We need the CDC to continue to track and report COVID rates daily. We need @CDCgov to educate the public about the combined benefits of shots, masks, ventilation, tests, isolation and treatment. #immunocompromised NOT EXPENDABLE 😡

Reported NYC School covid cases reached 5,299 this school week.
NYC also announced another pediatric covid death today.
Letting covid tear through schools unabated (fueling spread as students and staff then bring covid home to their families) is an awful policy, @NYCMayor.

It’s barely discussed that there are kids in NYC schools, like my friend’s student with post-covid cognitive issues, who are struggling with long covid.
Many families aren’t aware that kids can even HAVE longterm covid issues.

Sick & tired of you being insensitive and uncaring to the high risk community in this pandemic that's not over yet. COVID-19 is a threat and burden to the immunocompromised and elderly. Not to mention the millions of people dealing with Long Covid and children that are orphaned.

Seems like a lot of the (reported) covid cases in NYC right now are because @NYCMayor is letting covid rip through schools again without any mitigations.
Parenting in the time of COVID retweeted
NYC schools are already up to 3,052 reported staff and student covid cases just between yesterday and today.
We’ve lost students to covid, something @NYCMayor never mentions. We have other students with longterm covid issues. 1/

.@POTUS, today is a good day to bring back public indoor mask mandates to help contain the SARS-CoV-2 and Monkeypox pandemics.
Parenting in the time of COVID retweeted
Let’s think about how to get those at highest risk of severe complications from monkeypox….KIDS…. access to vaccines and therapeutics in a timely manner. We can learn from our mistakes. @US_FDA @FDACBER @FDASpox @CDCDirector @CDCgov @HHSGov @SecBecerra

Hey @CDCgov @CDCDirector MPX cases in children are increasing. Children are a high risk group.
Let's get a pediatric vaccine campaign **before** they all get it! #MonkeypoxVirus
#ImmunizeUnder5s for MPX too
