Do you know what killed more than 19,000 Americans in the last 3 months? Covid. About 9 an hour. Many many more than that have been hurt, often permanently.

That’s a lower number than previously, yet the risks remain.

Stay home when ill, wear masks in crowds and inside, stay up to date on your vaccinations and improve ventilation (ex: opening windows) to stay healthier.

@davidaugust Thank you for sharing the information.

@Mallulady My pleasure. Throughout history people have often wanted to rush, and pretend things are not how they are when it comes to pandemics. Sadly, this has been (as it is now) at tremendous preventable costs, to themselves and others. Happy to try to counter that.

@davidaugust Went and got my booster this am. I use a cloth mask which has miraculously kept me healthy.

@davidaugust "Stay home when ill" is a privilege for most.

@CStamp yes, and it is catastrophic that we have left it a privilege for the few instead of a default for all. The economy will thrive more with real sick pay since no economy can be healthy if those working in the economy are not healthy.
