If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.
Two simple demos:
First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
It really bothers me when people say “I went to do _______ for the first time POST-COVID.” I’m SORRY, did I miss the moment where COVID just packed up and left??? I think you mean post-lockdown.
This chart shows #COVIDー19 cases in the US have been growing exponentially. If we don’t bend the curve in the next 10 days, America’s hospital system will start getting overwhelmed in some places. This is why everyone needs to do social distancing NOW. And we need testing.

@leahjoan_ I was lucky to be able to get married on my in-laws property. We ended up moving the date up a year. Then got married close to my grandparents wedding date. Just find what’s meaningful to you. Do what you feel is best! It’s your guys’ day!

Oh my god. A Montana woman was robbed & they stole her dog. Guy was caught in West Virginia. Since many airlines ban pit bulls from flying, a relay team of 15 drivers was assembled to take Zeus home - 2,000 miles, 9 states, 4 days. I LOVE PEOPLE SOMETIMES. https://t.co/EOdmPrN4EX
