Hospitalizations for people with COVID-19 in the U.S. rose by more than 30% in two weeks. Much of the increase is driven by older people and those with existing health problems, said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC. https://t.co/HylU9gmFLB

Expecting everyone to be available at all times is a recipe for burnout.

Unless there's a crisis, being a good colleague isn't about responding rapidly. It's about clarity and reliability.

Clarity is communicating your priorities. Reliability is delivering on your commitments.

We just wish #SenatorThelmaHarper was here to see the #NathanBedfordForrest symbol of hate, racism & slavery being removed from the People's Capitol.

#HatsOff to ALL that worked & advocated to remove the #NathanBedfordForrest bust👏
