Covid is still a threat, and there are many long covid sufferers. We should reinstate mask mandates in healthcare settings; ensure free high quality masks and PCR tests; and mandate effective air filtration for all public transportation, buildings, and businesses.

Per MSNBC: indictment includes $30,000 payment to silence a doorman at one of Trump's buildings who allegedly had information about a child that Trump fathered.

Praise be, Harry Reid.

It's official: The Democrats held the Senate ow.ly/SUWz50LBOWk

BREAKING: Mark Kelly just widened his lead over Blake Masters to 95K with 76% reporting.

Katie Hobbs is now beating Kari Lake by 13,067 votes.

LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!

Gretchen Whitmer won re-election and flipped the House so Democrats controlled the House, Senate and Governor's mansion in Michigan for the first time since 1983!.

Why isn't the media covering that more??

20) '500 die a day”

“COVID is still a top 10 killer in the US, even if the number of current people dying is cut in half”

“Saying the pandemic is over get no one boosted”

Let's not give Biden a pass for 'the pandemic is over.' Well said Mehdi Hasan

7) According to the CDC’s own data, 93.89% of counties in the US are experiencing substantial or high community transmission of COVID. This, of course, is not the map the CDC chooses to share on their own social accounts.

HT People's CDC

2) And hell no, the pandemic is definitely not over whenever it’s killing this many people per week… ranked as #2 killer as of early September.

Governor Kathy Hochul Great, now we seniors and the immunocompromised are basically prisoners.
Can't even get cabbies to put a mask on without cajoling them.
Shame on you.
We really miss Governor Cuomo
Andrew Cuomo

Governor Hochul’s decision to lift the transit mask mandate flies in the face of science and plain common sense. 1/4

It appears that the Center for Disease has given up on Control & Prevention

T. Ryan Gregory Thomas Finch, MD, MBA US government: People aren’t wearing masks because they’re over it. People: We’re not wearing masks because you told us it was over.

Eric Feigl-Ding It's embarrassingly pathetic and pure negligence at this point.

Eric Feigl-Ding I’m a liberal through and through. But I wouldn’t mind an accounting of where the trillions (?) of dollars went in the first Covid relief package.🤔

Eric Feigl-Ding CDC is political theater posing as public policy. The FDA is not telling us anything new. Reading the EUA docs and packaging inserts lays out the same message.
Is FDA finally fed up with promoting widely held misconceptions around use of antigen tests for screening?
Too little

Eric Feigl-Ding 5-day quarantine was done just for CEO of Delta, not science. Dropping masks was done because a polling company said to. Other changes from Koch & business groups, not science.

14) “The CDC has blood on its hands”. This on you Mandy K. Cohen, MD, MPH

9) The Mandy K. Cohen, MD, MPH has now gone off the deep end. The CDC is now loosening COVID rules and quarantine guidances — all while hospitalizations and deaths are surging across the US!!! What the hell is all I can say at this point.
