"Hospitals and emergency rooms could be forced to ration care by the end of this month, the CDC warned"
A new variant plus holiday travel means lots of virus spreading. If you've stopped wearing a mask, or haven't gotten your booster vaccine yet, NOW is the time to start taking precautions again!

Control of #SARSCoV2 exposure in workplace should be similar to that for other airborne pathogens, e.g., measles, & flu. Risk of contracting a COVID19 variant at work persists, & with each re-infection, likelihood of damage to health. @ProfEmer @Daltmann10

We’re glad to see the Washington Post acknowledging the current situation with regard to covid and other respiratory viruses, and hope to see continued coverage as well as acknowledgement of the things that keep us safe. Mask up, vax up, and ventilate this holiday season! 😷❤️
