In a world where we rely on each other for support, taking small steps to protect those around us can make a big difference. Masking to prevent airborne infections is more than just an individual choice—it's a way to care for our community. By wearing a mask, you’re not only reducing the spread of illness but also showing respect for the well-being of others, especially the vulnerable. When we take care of our community, we create a culture of mutual care, where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.

Some will say you're overboard for the precautions you've taken to date. Others will say you failed and must've done something wrong to get it. Ignore. You've made many sacrifices. Keep up the good work. Improve where you can, and do what you can to delay a 2nd infection. 🙏🏾❤️

When will corporations realize that they have the same problem as the Tour de France: Loss of critical workers to disease, cognitive and physical incapacity.
Red is wastewater, & green is confirmed cases. MILLIONS upon MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of cases are never reported. Behind many of these cases are individuals who were disabled by Covid, but not on paper. There will be no assistance for any of these people. They don’t exist.
Recently overheard: "I think I got a summer flu."
Highly improbable! Here's Oakland wastewater, similar across the nation (flat lines at the bottom: flu A/B). It's not flu season & covid doesn't have a season. Reminder of the difference and why it's important to get it right.🧵
