More than 6k new #COVID19 cases were reported yesterday. We're surprised Gov. Charlie Baker is not speaking to the public today to talk about his plan to address surging cases & deaths across #MA. The public deserves to know at what point he'll implement a rollback to prevent more spread!
Thanks to State Rep. Mike Connolly for telling it like it is. From his Twitter feed yesterday: "4,613 new #COVID cases in Massachusetts today. What more is there to say? Gov. Charlie Baker has announced he is not planning any further closures or restrictions. Meanwhile, the unemployment system is broken. Eviction cases are piling up. Workers are in need of paid sick time."
“We know inequity in Massachusetts has been a big part of the pandemic,” said Dr. Louise Ivers, executive director of Massachusetts General Hospital’s Center for Global Health. “It is critical to know if the 25 percent [of contacts] they are not reaching are all communities of color. We need more granular data on who we are reaching by race and ethnicity.” #healthequity ttps://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/12/02/metro/amid-tsunami-covid-19-infections-strain-contact-traci...
