If this tweet were not true, it might be funny. The only positive, if it can be considered that, is I have yet to see a health expert who supports this
“Sure feels like we’re 1-2 revisions away from the CDC recommending that we cough on each-other’s faces and sneeze in elevators”
Joshua, you have been posting “500” deaths per day for awhile now, and even though that number doesn’t lower but you haven’t posted a higher either. Does that in and of itself mean we are making progress regarding Covid?
Yes. That’s a good point. Deaths are now around 500 a day (7-day average). They’ve been between 400 and 500 for a while. They appear not to be increasing above the ~500 mark. That is progress.
Boston-area COVID-19 wastewater from the B.A.5 variant has gone down 44% during the last month. It’s the lowest count since early April.
Also 39 deaths reported in the last week for the state.
Schools should consider NOT punishing students who wear a mask
Is this false news? The CDC wrote this? Are we living in an alternate universe
There’s been way too much judgment on the wearing of masks. People act as if mask-wearers are somehow crazy. They’re not. I still wear a mask in certain indoor settings, like trains, classrooms (where I teach and attend lectures), doctor’s and dentist’s offices, and pharmacies. I’m in the minority, which is fine. I don’t wear a mask outdoors. But, I do see people – many Asian folks, for example – wearing them outdoors. Fine. It’s their decision.
Sadly the masks have created physical and verbal conflicts among adults at school committee meetings and in other settings. Bullying in schools is at a high. Kids of course learn from parents.
Imo if this is accurate? the way this is worded is asking for problems.
I wear a mask anywhere indoors. If there is a crowd, I’ll wear outside also.
Polio virus is spreading throughout New York state. NYC is now detecting it in the wastewater. That’s very bad news. Earlier this week, a child was diagnosed in NY as having polio-caused paralysis. This is a very serious condition.
A while back I studied immunization rates in the U.S. versus other countries. The results were stunning. Our immunization rates were quite bad, while rates were uniformly excellent across most of Western Europe. This is yet another piece of evidence of public health failure.
Scott Gottlieb just posted this:
Pediatric vax rates are dangerously low in some parts of U.S. As of 2018, the five states with lowest rates for completed, combined peds series (includes 3 or more doses of polio):
Alaska 59.2%
Louisiana 62.1%
Indiana 66.2%
Oklahoma 69.1%
Alabama 69.2%
National average is 75.4%
The national average is just 75%. That’s atrocious. In the Netherlands, there is no way a child can ever enroll in a school and not be fully vaccinated. I’m not talking about Covid-19, in fact, that’s the one vaccination which is NOT required in the Netherlands for children. But, the regular childhood vaccines are absolutely mandatory. Why that is not the case here, God knows.
I heard these numbers and was amazed. I’m shocked any schools in the US do not require polio vaccine except of course for legitimate religious reasons.
Right now, I’d give the CDC an F on messaging. Worse than the D they got for Covid. You have to go to the CDC website to find out anything about monkeypox. Why the CDC isn’t blanketing the airwaves – radio, TV, and internet – I just don’t understand. I know they’re doing this throughout Western Europe and Canada. It does make the slope less steep: Awareness and recommendations on what to do and not to do.
At the moment I’m disgusted with the states largest hospitals so don’t really want to hear this. To have a child tested for dyslexia, childrens charges just over $10,000….out of pocket as no insurance is accepted. That would be one of the best hospitals worldwide that is supposed to care for children.

Take a look at the slopes of the case curves (and it is NOT due to more testing in the U.S.; if anything, we test less):
