"Researchers said they can confirm that younger children can have long COVID. Clinicians and caregivers may not recognize long COVID in these children because they are unfamiliar with it."

Gov. Hochul has the ability to pass the NY Health Act, which would guarantee healthcare for everyone in NY.

We have the votes to pass it in the state legislature, but Gov. Hochul refuses to endorse.

Any rhetoric on healthcare, is meaningless.

You have the power to fix this.

Today’s vote makes it official: New York’s Republican members of Congress voted to gamble with their constituents’ lives to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

They had two chances to stand up to Donald Trump and fight for the people they serve. They failed both times.

Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.

All disabilities are genuine.

You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it”.

They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

I literally have a note from my pulmonologist to say that I cannot risk another respiratory infection and must be allowed to keep my mask on at all group functions at work. I feel like this pressure is getting worse both formally and informally.

Some of us can’t “live with” mask bans. They put our literal lives at risk.

Imagine telling a disabled person to give up a mobility aid? Or any other medical device?

This is wrong. People should have disability orgs backing them on this.
Screenshot of a twitter post from @victoriacoble15 which reads Today @DisabilityRtsNC is actively telling North Carolinians right now that if a store discriminates against you for wearing a mask and will not let you in, to LIVE WITH IT. Followed by a second post saying Disability Rights NC does not even wear masks in their own offices. They do not protect their own staff.

Current COVID surge: 1M cases/day. Act now:

1) Ask Congress for free vax: tinyurl.com/MoreVax

2) Donate to mutual aid or get free n95s: covidactionmap.org

3) Phone bank to stop mask bans tinyurl.com/MaskBank

4) Share the COVID+ Plan doc so folks know what to do when sick: tinyurl.com/SickPlan
CDC National Wastewater Surveillance System map as of August 10 shows most US states in the “very high” range and all remaining states with data in the “high” or “moderate” range. Screenshot of two images: A 2021 CNBC article quotes Dr Fauci stating, “Dr. Fauci says U.S. Covid cases need to fall below 10,000 a day to get to a 'degree of normality'.” The phrase “below 10,000” is underlined in red and an arrow points up to the second image’s last data point. The second image is a graph that estimates daily covid infection numbers based on the CDC wastewater levels. As of July 31, 2024, the estimate is over 1M per day.
