And our pediatric capacity has been eroding over time, in part because of the simple (and ugly) fact that kids are less profitable than adults for hospitals.
A tripledemic hurricane is making landfall. We need masks, not just tent hospitals
With Covid, RSV, and influenza hospitals are on the brink. We need masks and other measures to reduce spread.

Hi everyone, I am new here and learning the platform. By way of background, I am a chemical biologist and glycoscientist on the Stanford Chemistry faculty. Known for creating a field called #bioorthogonal chemistry (for which I shared the 2022 NP) and launching biotech companies with new therapeutic and diagnostic platforms, mostly rooted in glycobiology. Passionate about interdisciplinary science, diversity equity and inclusion in STEM, peanut butter, gyms and 70s funk.
This is an important study from the CDC themselves that shows:
1. Most people think COVID transmission levels are much lower than they actually are
2. When people know there's high transmission, they're much more likely to wear a mask
It's criminal that the CDC & governments have misled the public about COVID levels.

@freemo Thank you! And thank you for standing up for LGBTQ users!
Well, lets see if they care anymore if I expose this shit on twitter. If you have an account there feel free to show some support:
