@CAPublicHealth True story: my great granddaughter, a toddler, left the house in the early morning before anyone else woke up. She went to the pool, fell in, and drowned. Her body was found by her family.
Secure pools and ponds.

At auditions in a bar today a rapper marched in, dropped a beat, and waltzed to the next bar like they did it all the time, like it was their signature move.
@JerusalemDemsas "That which is hateful to you, do not do to another. That is the entirety of the teaching. The rest is its application. Go and study." - Hillel the Elder, Babylonian Talmud, third story in Shabbat 31a.
Primary care provider $50 (after insurance) for telling me to go to ED.
ED: $700 (after insurance) for writing prescription I could get have filled under insurance.
Ultimately $750 for nothing.

My #healthcare story:
Got sick. Took a COVID test. It was positive.
Called my primary provider. They couldn't even do a telehealth appointment for at least two weeks and told me I need to go to emergency department.

ED gave me prescription for Paxlovid, but my usual pharmacy didn't have it, so they sent to other [major chain] pharmacy.
[Major chain] pharmacy wasn't covered by my insurance, so cost of prescription was near $2,000. I did not get Paxlovid

@DeanObeidallah As I see Trump quotes promising to use the Department of Justice to attack his detractors, what I imagine is already pretty bad.
It's going to be bad.
@DeanObeidallah As I read quotes from future Trump administration leaders calling for deporting citizen children of undocumented people and of turbocharging denaturalization, what I imagine is already pretty bad.
As I see a plan to reimplement Schedule F, what I imagine is already pretty bad.
