As flu, RSV and covid collide, a record 100,000 Americans missed work last month because of child-care problems, @abhabhattarai reports. That’s bigger than the height of the pandemic! washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…
“While 96 percent of the country’s highest paid workers received paid sick leave last year, only 40 percent of the lowest earners did, according to federal data.” washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…
@FenitN @AOC @abhabhattarai I’m in my 30’s and I’ve had the flu twice in my life but I’ve now had covid twice in less then one year!?!?
@FenitN @AOC @abhabhattarai Maybe shutting down the economy and locking kids out of school messing up the natural order of cyclical viruses for something that wasn’t going to harm kids wasn’t a great idea?
@FenitN @emmykegler @abhabhattarai @ashishkjha @CDCDirector @CDCgov Could you at least suggest that people wear masks for a little while?At minimum if they are sick. The children are NOT all right. @POTUS
@FenitN @AOC @abhabhattarai I'm old enough to remember when the enhanced child tax credit was helping parents afford child care back in 2021. money.com/child-tax-cred…
@FenitN @wpjenna @abhabhattarai Does that factor in the holiday?
@FenitN @abhabhattarai It’s called the pediatric domino effect…
