So in the effort to #KeepMasksInWA, I reached out to my #waleg reps to petition @WADeptHealth to retract the decision to rescind the face covering order. My message was forwarded to DOH staff & the response back to me was, as expected, pat & milquetoast &, frankly, misleading: 🧵
“The decision to rescind the secretary's face covering was made based on where we are as a state with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic from a broad perspective and where our COVID-19 (as well as RSV and Influenza) cases and hospitalizations are trending down.”
Meanwhile, we know and have known for years that Covid cases, hospitalizations, & deaths are vastly underreported, especially now that states (including WA) & local govts have dismantled reporting infrastructure.
