“Governments also learned they could get away with reduced information: fewer medical tests, fewer tallies of confirmed cases, #hospitalizations and #deaths. Peer-reviewed reports keep coming out about the continuing damage the #pandemic was doing, but few people read the medical journals. Even fewer want to be reminded about the pandemic at all”

‘We may be the last maskers’: #California #COVID cases are rising. Here’s why health experts are masking indoors

13% increase in #hospitalizations reported in three weeks

"While much of the world has moved on from the #COVID-19 pandemic, Santa Clara County Public Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody and her colleagues still wear protective masks to work and in other crowded indoor settings. And if you’ve noticed a lot of people you know coming down with COVID lately, you’ll understand why.

Thrust into the national spotlight three years ago as an early voice of caution and protective orders as the then-deadly COVID pandemic took hold, Cody admits she and her public health colleagues stand out now among the mostly unmasked masses. But with cases rising again, and her own recent bout with the disease still in mind, she urges others to consider #masking indoors."

''"This week's Infoflu #update has 2 situations fundamentally involving young #children, which draw attention & still require greater attention in relation to respiratory #infections &, in particular, #hospitalizations, mainly due to the #RSV. On the one hand, we have a positive sign, which is the fact that we have a smaller number of states that still show a growth in the number of new weekly cases. We are seeing this sign clearly in Acre and Pará. InfoGripe, Marcelo Gomes.''
