#California senior citizens are hit hard as #COVID-19 surges this winter
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.
Nadine McSpadden 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💙💚@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.

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
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?
