Public health experts agree that there is no urgent need for free tests to be sent to American households now, given low levels of covid-19. But they said keeping the tests on hand is an insurance policy in case the virus evolves to cause a large outbreak again.
Nationally, the wastewater viral activity level for COVID-19 is currently high.
This paragraph from @washingtonpost.com's reporting on Trump potentially ending free COVID tests is factually incorrect.
According to CDC wastewater data, COVID levels are currently HIGH.
COVID still causes serious illness and death for too many. People still need free tests!

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

The White House: (iii) assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs;
This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.
Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

More people need to be talking about RFK Jr. wanting to take away SSRIs and send those of us who are AU/ADHD into "concentration camps" to detox. This is terrifying. Using neurodivergent and disabled people to fill your work "camps" is yet another repeat from the old 1940s Germany playbook.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed.
