@chungk1031 So glad you’re ok now. First glance of my burnout survey show that depersonalization is crazy high and personal accomplishment is low. I think COVID has really shifted the medical community away from the humanism of medicine.
It is not too late to get the flu vaccine! Around 80% of all flu cases occur in January, February and March. Children 6 months of age and up should get the flu vaccine to reduce their risk. Don’t let the flu stop you: https://t.co/wz82PLNA6L
@Bob_Wachter Sore throat Saturday morning. Binax negative Saturday night and Monday morning. PCR positive Saturday afternoon. 13yo son came home from his dad’s with hoarse voice and admitted to headache on Saturday so I tested him on Binax: positive. I hadn’t seen him since Thursday at 6am.
Texas lifting COVID restrictions pains me deeply. A distraction from deadly winter storms, it will likely be popular. But best science says it's far too soon. We're so close. Vaccines bring hope. Hope. Remember that? Can we please not spike footballs before we hit the end zone?
Read this last night to my kids, which made me pause and think...if only we’d reacted to the pandemic like Australia (25M people, 29k cases, 909 deaths, 0 locally acquired cases in 24 hours, life is almost back to normal). Wish I could move to Australia.
@GovAbbott Shocked by how out of touch you are re: healthcare workers that have worked tirelessly for a year, military who deployed to hospitals in your cities and now to vaccinate your people, and thousands dead, only to lift a mask mandate prematurely in direct opposition to science.
@TPRNews@Joeycules@TPRSource@_DominicAnthony@dankatzradio@tprcommunity @KBonniePetrie @TPRCinema For most of Monday, we had 2-5 min of power, then 15-120 min off. Then no power x13hr, dropped to 48 degrees in the house with 6 kids huddled by our gas fire overnight. Today, we had a total of 7 hours of power and it’s out again. Pipes frozen. Using pool water to flush toilets.
Dear politicians/political influencers:
When you tweet about my father’s birthday, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty & militarism.
Encourage & enact policies that reflect your birthday sentiments.
