SURGING—This should NOT be the new normal. Last month, this #COVID19 transmission chart was mostly blue or yellow (tiny bit of orange). But some got arrogant. Some got dismissive. Some got selfish. And now the pandemic continues. #CovidIsNotOver

Aaron Rodgers says he's allergic to the COVID mRNA vaccines. Is that possible? Do I really believe him when he has been less than honest previously? usatoday.com/story/news/heal… via @usatoday

A previous COVID-19 infection may not be enough to protect you.

Farmworkers, nearly all of whom are immigrants, do the work you most definitely do NOT want to do, that results in food on your family table. Perhaps before you eat, say, "Gracias, trabajadores agrícolas, por su trabajo."
At 2am, some of us will be heading out to start our day to escape the heat. That isn’t for our safety— it’s because the fruit we harvest gets damaged when it’s hot. #WeFeedYou

Such an important message that it needs to be shared.
We’ve spoken with hundreds of doctors, patients, frontline works and healthcare advocates. They all share a common message: Please, wear a mask. #covid19
