We watched #DontLookUp last night and loved it! It’s a really good movie and parable for our time w Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep, written by Colorado native @ghostpanther Adam Mckay and Coloradan @davidsirota
@jaredpolis @ghostpanther @davidsirota You are so despicable. Glad you are enjoying movie night and tweeting about it while hospitals are overwhelmed because of your inaction and failure to acknowledge your mistakes. You are killing people.
@annetchrist @ghostpanther @davidsirota Thankfully in Colorado we are at about 90% hospital capacity with about 10% of beds empty, fairly steady since Nov. About 20% of total patients have Covid. We track this daily to ensure we have enough capacity for those in need and you can follow along: public.tableau.com/views/Colorado…
@jaredpolis @ghostpanther @davidsirota I think you'll find that 94% of acute care beds in Colorado are in use, and 93% of ICU beds. The 7 day averages are in line with that too. It was just a couple of weeks ago that the percentage of COVID patients was 15%. ICU levels in Larimer are 114%, up 8.6%.
@annetchrist @ghostpanther @davidsirota Yes the Omicron wave is hitting our country. Make sure to get third vaccine dose and for extra protection wear a medical grade mask around others
@jaredpolis @annetchrist @ghostpanther @davidsirota Tell this to @douglascountyco who won’t allow businesses, including child care ctrs, schools, etc., to protect themselves & mandate masks in their business. AND to all the families here with children too young to get vaxxed but still have to attend unprotected schools/childcares.
@jaredpolis @annetchrist @ghostpanther @davidsirota And what about CO schools, many of which have ZERO mitigation? Children/teens do not have a choice in vaccination. They are also at risk of lifelong disability via long covid, diabetes, and loss of brain mass/cognitive function. They have no choices here and deserve protection!
@jaredpolis @annetchrist @ghostpanther @davidsirota Also, long covid is even a risk for the vaccinated. Is Colorado prepared? reuters.com/news/picture/l…
@jaredpolis @annetchrist @ghostpanther @davidsirota 😳. Do your job Jared. Tell people they have to wear a mask
@jaredpolis Wow if only we had a governor that would fucking mandate them. My KN95 does very little if I'm the only one wearing it.
