"There is no medicine as powerful as housing. We actually know how to end this crisis but we don’t have the political will to do so."- @MKushel says

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

A) "Everyone will be exposed to Omicron"
B) "Everyone will get Omicron"
They're different. (A) promotes appropriate caution till surge ends: boost, N95, outdoor>indoor. (B) promotes counterproductive behavior as hospitals are overwhelmed.

Biggest difference: A is true. B is not.

A new CDC analysis found that severe illness and death from Covid were extremely rare in vaccinated people. Among 1,228,664 fully vaccinated people across the US, 185 (0.015%) had severe illness and 36 (0.0033%) died. Covid vaccines are extremely safe and remarkably effective.

Thrilled to be @WhiteHouse, joined by a group of my colleagues from the CA Legislature, to witness Pres. @JoeBiden sign into law his historic $1.2T infrastructure package!

Excited to share the experience—incl. what it means for CA & the Bay Area—throughout the day. Follow along!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Terrific news for CA and the rest of the nation.

The time is NOW to build a clean, better future.

Wilma Chan was a great advocate for elders and others

[Anthony Wright @aewright]

I am reeling. Wilma Chan was an amazing champion in health care and so much more, as a County Supervisor, Assemblymember, and Chair of Assembly Health Committee. One of my favorite legislators, she was smart and savvy, advancing justice for real results. What a tragic loss.

I just subscribed to The Crucial Years https://t.co/lzEmhWuA5e gotta get the older folks involved. They got the benefits.

@ACHealthCenters @LifeLongMedCare Amazing work with homeless @LifeLongMedCare and Trust Clinic.

Extreme weather hurts older Californians. That’s started a wave of climate activism #MasterPlanForAging @LMClynch @JeanneeMartin @LeadingAgeCA @TheSCANFndtn https://t.co/Gw9rFDyevH

[Greenlining @Greenlining]

Californians deserve a budget that prioritizes & invests in frontline communities to build climate resilience.

@CAgovernor -- we urge you to increase the climate budget to ensure our communities can weather the storm of #climatechange.

Great read in #nytimes “Home is where older adults want to stay”. We need to advance our work to help older adults and those with disabilities get the supports they need. Kudos to Sarah Stanton and the CAPABLE team. https://t.co/DwzmVm8i5G

[President & CEO of The SCAN Foundation @TSF_CEO]

National and California polls confirm that #olderadults wish to age well at home.

Deadly air pollutant ‘disproportionately and systematically’ harms Americans of color, study finds. Equity issues so important in climate change. https://t.co/Uf80cYDVAk

This outbreak is vital to understand. It shows what we still face if younger folks go unvaccinated.

47% of health care workers refused vax, while only 10% of residents did.

Result: 1 unvax'd HCW with COVID led to 20 HCWs & 26 residents infected, of whom 3 died (1 vaccinated).

[Carmela Castellano-Garcia @CarmelaCGarcia]

So proud of Andie Martinez Patterson on her promotion to SVP of Strategy, Integration, & System Impact! She inspires others w/her integrity & dedication to the mission, and has been instrumental in leading CPCA’s advocacy efforts, harnessing the power of 7M+ pts. served @ CHCs.

[Justice in Aging @justiceinaging]

Such a huge loss for our community.

Congratulations to @XavierBecerra on his historic #confirmation to lead @HHS. This is a proud moment as I have known and worked with Secretary Becerra on health care policy. It is only fitting that Becerra, a champion for health equity, guides our nation out of this crisis.
