There are 252 children hospitalized in Virginia with #COVID19, the highest we’ve ever seen. We need to keep children safe by: - Vaccinating all adults around children - Vaccinating eligible children - Indoor masking, distancing, and good air circulation richmond.com/news/local/more…

More Virginia children are hospitalized for COVID now than ever before

The pandemic's silver lining, that children were spared from severe illness, no longer appears to be true.

Let’s not call it fear. Call it making rational decisions for your health and others. Reasons to not want a BT infection include: - Getting #LongCOVID - Infecting a child - Infecting someone immune compromised - Infecting an elderly family member - Hospitals overwhelmed

OK, but why are Americans fearful of breakthroughs? I'd suggest it's largely because of the mixed messages they're hearing from public health officials and the media, which often imply that vaccinated people should behave with a *lot* of caution rather than "returning to normal".

Children diagnosed with #COVID19 are increasing at an alarming level & filling hospitals, with children of color more vulnerable. In @USATODAY , experts advise all eligible family members to get vaccinated to help shield young children. usatoday.com/story/news/heal…
COVID-19 is surging among America's youth. Doctors worry children of color face the greatest risk.

Severe illness from COVID-19 in kids is rare, but deaths have been more common in children of color. Amid the recent surge, experts are concerned.

Reflections from another week+ in the ICU: - #HealthCareWorkers don’t want to be called heroes anymore. We just want you to #WearADamnMask & #GetVaccinated - Nurses & respiratory therapists are running on fumes. - It’s harder to say goodbye when you know it was preventable.

"The new proposed Land Use Map, which would allow multifamily housing to be built in neighborhoods such as Greenbrier and North Downtown, would be the first step toward rectifying Charlottesville’s history of displacing Black people," Carmelita Wood writes cvilletomorrow.org/articles/…

Commentary/Opinion: Charlottesville's proposed Land Use Map is first step toward remedying the past

I am a lifelong resident of Charlottesville who grew up in the Vinegar Hill neighborhood before it was destroyed. I have been disappointed in recent weeks by reactions from Charlottesville residents...

Dear Republicans, Refusing to acknowledge that the election wasn’t stolen, makes you a traitor. Perpetuating the lie that Sandy Hook & Parkland were staged, makes you a monster. Asking for unity without seeking accountability, makes you a hypocrite. Sincerely, Sane America

I don’t ever want to hear “poor people need to learn financial literacy, learn how to save and invest” again in my life. The past 48hrs has proven that’s a lie, the market is fake, and the game is rigged.

Here’s what I’m doing while I wait my turn for the COVID-19 vaccines: masking up, staying at least six feet apart from others, avoiding crowds, and not gathering inside with people I don’t live with. This is how I’ll make a difference and help #SlowTheSpread.

no, for real, the stock market soared to record highs as 400,000 people died, and as 50 million people filed for unemployment, billionaires became $1 trillion richer. But, now that regular people are gaming it, these criminals want regulations.

So, Let me get this straight! On Benghazi, the GOP had 33 hearings & investigations over 5 years. On Hillary's emails, the GOP had 20+ hearings & investigations over 5 years. On Trump’s Insurrection and coup attempt, the GOP wants us to have unity and move on in 3 weeks.
