I dedicate this post to everyone who keeps saying, “COVID is just the flu now.”

In the most recent complete report weeks:

#COVID19 hospitalizations: 15,756
#Flu hospitalizations: 1,607

COVID deaths: 1,262
Flu deaths: 14

Most COVID deaths in a week THIS YEAR: 3,866

Most flu deaths in a week SINCE 2019: 1,048

Yep, exactly the same!

@publichealth

my updated #COVID19 #vaccination booster and my #flu shot.

day 2 and feeling alright!

it's that time of year where we will soon spend a lot of time indoors, and have a lot of gatherings with family and friends, so to protect them and engage safely, be sure to get vaxxed up!

check out this updated COVID19 resource. It's from a Center for Independent Living so it's made by #Disabled folks (w/ #PublicHealth background) and centers disabled people.
