Senior citizens are hit hard as COVID surges across state

Hospitalizations among those 70 and older have surpassed the summer peak. Coronavirus cases for all age groups are up nearly 50% in just one week.

Los Angeles Times
@GottaLaff All hospitals in the Indianapolis area announced restricted visitor policies starting today. The press release blames it on rising flu numbers, but I'm sure it's a flu-COVID combination.

@nmcspadden Ugh. I bet too.
@GottaLaff @nmcspadden
Unbelievable:
“Only 35% of California’s vaccinated seniors age 65 and up have received the updated booster since it became available in September.
Among eligible 50- to 64-year-olds, about 21% have received the updated booster. The rate is 12% for younger adults, 9% for adolescents and 8% for 5- to 11-year-olds.
“We are doing a pathetic job of protecting seniors (and age 50+) from severe COVID in California,””
@kbsez Insanity. I live in CA, and I go to stores where I am the only one wearing a mask. @nmcspadden

@GottaLaff @nmcspadden

One of my largest clients is a major retail chain and I mask up when I have to visit any of their stores and I'm always stunned by how many employees aren't masking.

If you are in healthcare or retail you must mask up--

I dread to think how many aren't vaccinated.

I'm still stunned at the low vaccination rates in China. It's a regime, why didn't they just order the populous to get vaccinated for their own good?
