This winter's #SARSCOV2 surge is worsening faster than models had predicted.
1in 38 of the population you encounter in your daily life are now likely to be infected. Likely 1 in 26 infected by #NYE. Daily cases will be up 50% by then.
N95s are a must now if you are relying only on self-protection rather than have a community united to protect each other from #COVID, & we must consider who's been in the same room earlier that day, not just who is there simultaneously.

in reply to Erin Conroy • • •If you are relying on rapid response tests, please remember that the FDA changed its guidelines for the tests to be effective: with symptoms, 2 tests 48 hours apart are needed. For asymptomatic individuals, it must be increased to 3 tests, each 48 hours apart.
So to gather meaningful testing info, we need 4 days clear of new exposures before holiday gatherings. Good luck!
