Hurrah!!

Credit to U.S. FDA for moving up the timeline for #COVID19 vax updates. Yet the map below shows why this was still a policy failure. An update that comes AFTER this much spread, can’t be considered a success. We have to acknowledge Covid isn’t behaving like the flu.🤷🏽‍♂️

Novavax website will have info soon on where to get the updated vaccine in your area 💉🏥

Reminder: Masking is a layer of protection that works for all variants, and all airborne viruses.

Someone may now not test positive for #COVID until they’ve already been feeling sick for days so serial tests over several days is now recommended. time.com/7018565/do-at-…

1,555 Americans were killed by C0VlD last week. It’s the 4th week in a row with 1,000+ deaths. ~6,000+ have been killed in the last month. Tens of millions have L0NG C0VlD. It wasn’t over or mild for them. As millions get infected every day, not masking is a dangerous game.

I got my Novavax Covid vaccine yesterday and I feel 100% fine today. The mRNA vaccines usually make me feel like garbage the next day. You can find it now at most locations of CVS, RiteAid, Kroger, Costco and by next week it should be at Walgreens and Walmart.

Very thorough study on masking! The tl;dr here is MASKS WORK.

High-quality advocacy from Matt McGorry💙✊ in The Guardian "If we’re only focused on individual change and not on the systemic issues that actually have a larger impact on health, like poverty and lack of access to medical care, then what we’re doing is not really about health"

"There’s an engineer in China named Adam Wong who is making some really great products, one that breaks down and collapses into a carry-on with you. It’s extremely powerful and cost-effective." That's me I guess. 😃 theguardian.com/wellness/ng-in…

People need to stop using masks as a political football. The reality is that climate change & pandemics are here to stay & increasing in threat. We need to help people protect themselves & their communities by raising awareness about best practices & distributing masks for free.
