Dear MAGA—if you believe your prescription drugs and medical bills will go down under Trump’s gutting Medicaid/Medicare/CFPB…then I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you. Soon, medical costs will soar once big pharm/PBMs/health insurers realize it’s open season.

Based on 🇺🇸 wastewater monitoring, #COVID19, #flu A, & #RSV (which cause similar symptoms) & #norovirus (which causes vomiting & diarrhea) are 🚀 nationwide. Other infections are low.
There are antiviral meds to treat Covid & flu, so get tested/seek care if sick!
