They claim it is a laboratory transition, but it has been 3-4 months at this point, and has continued to expand to other facilities within the state.
I am calling bullshit.

As of today, NY state has no COVID data reporting out of 143 of 173 wastewater facilities.
This is because they are not testing and therefore not reporting the data.
This is a massive loss.

PLEASE test for covid multiple times this week. i recommend tuesday, then thursday or friday if you’re limited on amount of tests you can take. don’t eat/drink/smoke 30min before the test then swab throat before nose. monitor how you feel, but test regardless as many cases have no symptoms.

Are we starting to see how this all connects now?

Which will also mean the end of work requirements for services, and it will mean the end of max income barriers to receive services (like healthcare) for disabled individuals.
This leads us into universal housing programs to get people off the streets. As you can’t stay healthy living outside.

This also means revamping our disability resources services, to compensate for the coming massive influx of individuals, and also improving conditions in extended care and retirement facilities.
With those overrun they will need increased support to prevent conditions from deteriorating.

We would then need to generate a universal healthcare plan to take care of the people who have now been and who will continue to be irreversibly impacted by the disease.
We would need to promote better work/life balance so people can pace for their new realities. This means universal basic income.

Initiation of a mass education program warning of the population-level danger of repeat Covid infections. Lifetime quality years lost - most profoundly impacting kids.
This would be targeted to kids, much like seatbelt campaigns, so that parents would then be educated through their own children.

Corsi-rosenthal boxes and cleaning supplies would be provided to each household regularly for the short-term.
While the government created a standardization program to increase air turnovers per hour, and to install appropriate HEPA filtration in all building units. Prioritizing schools.

We would mandate N95 face mask wearing in all healthcare facilities at all times.
High-quality face masks would be fit test with free try-on sample kits sent to people so they could find what works.
Then free masks for the family would be sent weekly. People would wear them in public & when sick

We would update rapid tests to target more current circulating variants.
We’d reassess PCR probe binding targets and their signal intensity against current variants.
We’d expand wastewater surveillance & we would standardizing collection/analysis methods & variant sequencing across facilities.

It’s possible. My best guess is that they are going to cancel this meeting, and use the firings as justification for its cancellation.
Then they would use the time between now and the October meeting to fill it with cronies like you said, & then we’d experience a bastardized form of the ACIP.

That would be another level down in this nightmare inferno.
I don’t think they’re organized enough to do that in a couple weeks. While they’re very good at tearing things down, I do not think they’re good at filling positions.

This is now on top of us having no CDC director.
Functionally, this likely means that RFK will single-handedly be setting all the recommendations.
What the literal fuck.
