This a comparison of counties with and without mask mandates. It may make people "feel" better to "do something" but unfortunately that something is not a mask mandate. Would love to see focus turn to preventive care, ⏬obesity, OSA, screen for preventable dz @shvetaraju

We have a serious problem in our healthcare system- particularly in the medical community who has yet to acknowledge that Covid is now a seasonal illness. My father tested positive like many people- he is 73, obese with other co- morbidities that would otherwise make him higher.

@ByJessicaGould Did anyone question the complete HYPOCRISY in guidelines for under 5 and unvaxxed 5 and up?? This is injustice for our children who are now bearing the burden of 2 years of masking despite no evidence of benefit. @drlucymcbride @davidzweig @GovKathyHochul.

Exactly. Yesterday I passed 2 teenagers sitting on Columbus avenue smoking marijuana while I walked my daughter to an activity. The democratic establishment has created this apathetic environment where our children's health and safety no longer matters in the name of justice.

Took 4 yr old to @MountSinaiNYC for allergy appt. Temp check on back of her hand - 92.8 degrees. They handed her a "screened" sticker and let us go. I gave her a ✋for not only being a superb toddler masker, but also a vampire? TY SCIENCE! @VPrasadMDMPH @MonicaGandhi9 @Saikmedi.

@MarkLevineNYC That's actually not what he said - as a physician it concerns me how you are manipulating this. But it concerns me even greater that she is still complimenting herself on mask mandates and an ineffacious shot for healthy children.

Speech and language therapists say they’re now treating children with developmental deficits born from Covid mitigations. From understanding facial cues to reading comprehension, experts say addressing the problems early is critical.

Often missed in the Congestion Pricing plan is that Lyft and Uber get in FREE. Only $1.50 paid by passenger. This plan isn't about traffic, or limiting cars, it's about eliminating private car ownership, and handing the streets over to the apps.

Thank you @errollouis for asking my question. I think this confirms that if @GovKathyHochul is elected - there will 100% be a mandate for covid vaccine to attend school. 🏫 was closed and kids were masked under her administration. Unforgivable. @urgencyofnormal @magsnichols.

Hospital capacity not up yet #philly is going against the original intent of masking / vax policy. This should put everyone on high alert that there is no off ramp for covid restrictions at all when mask mandate and quarantines still happening. @shvetaraju @KrugAlli.

It is important for those living in the north to anticipate some increased transmission over the next couple of weeks so high-risk individuals can alter routines & #masking, but our team advises against required masking given that hospital capacity is good. (6/7).

Another extremely low IQ day for NYC @NYC_DOT Not only is Columbus Ave closed for “open streets”, Amsterdam Ave closed for street fair and West Highway closed for Bike Race. So either people who work in govt are 1) extremely idiotic, 2)extremely corrupt, or 3)extremely.
