Gov. Josh Shapiro: "I respect the Canadian people and Canada's sovereignty... When POTUS bullies Canada, threatens to make them the 51st state, belittles them, undermines their sovereignty, that undermines the interests of our farmers and the people who work in our factories."

Health insurance premiums will rise by 75% for millions of people if they expire as planned at the end of the year.

That’s one of the major issues Democrats and Republicans are at odds over in the current government #shutdown.

How the government shutdown is hitting the health care system – and what the battle over ACA subsidies means

As the battle for health care plays out in Washington, the shutdown itself could also make it harder for Americans to get the care they need.

The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent getting COVID-19 or getting it multiple times. That means staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and wearing a well-fitting mask, especially when indoors among crowds.

Learn more: www.nyc.gov/site/doh/cov...

The image is a public health poster from NYC Health titled “Prevent Long COVID.”

It explains that the only way to prevent Long COVID is to avoid getting COVID-19, as each infection carries a risk.
It lists prevention tips:

Wear a well-fitting mask (N95, KN95, KF94) in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor spaces.

Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations.

Stay home if sick, or wear a mask if you must go out.

Avoid close contact with sick people.

Wash hands often or use hand sanitizer.
