“If we want to take climate change seriously in this city, we have to take I-35 expansion really seriously. We have to do something really different, not something that comes from the 1970 and ’80s.” (via @TexasSignal)

“Don’t get it twisted,” a @HarrisHealth administrator dismisses @TXMedCenter’s ‘capacity is fine’ notion. She is scrambling to find beds for #COVID19 patients, sending some to Conroe & Galveston. My #abc13 report: https://t.co/krY6pfOM0l
US daily average now over 30k. It was this way only for 5 days Apr 5-9 when NY at its peak. Now CA, TX, FL, AZ, GA, SC are the most cases.
Terrible situation.
"Pausing reopening," when you've previously plowed through reopening phases during a global pandemic, is an empty gesture.
@GovAbbott - the people of Texas need action.

We've had a weekend of crowd size jokes and a walk of shame, but let's not forget the tragedy that surrounds us. In a series of tweets, @anylaurie16 shared her mother's death from COVID. It's heartbreaking, with some sad laughs. Multiply this by over 120k. https://t.co/62qe6mbUjy

Who are the 71% of Americans who do not have the luxury of social distancing by working from home? 😷

Tonight, a deep gratitude to all whose job it is to clean, in hospitals, offices, and elsewhere. In normal times, your work is vital. In these times, it's a matter of life and death. You do not get the appreciation or wages you deserve. This must change as we enter a new normal.
#Coronavirus deaths continue to increase in the US and this is three weeks after state lockdowns began. Action is needed to #CrushtheCurve

Hey 120 cases in one processing plant. Perhaps they didn't take precautions seriously: Smithfield temporarily shuts South Dakota pork plant after workers test positive for coronavirus https://t.co/BdwEcenJIw
There is a problem with numbers: They are the same whether counting grains of sand, or people. Complexity is a better measure. Each person is an incredibly complex and irreplaceable treasure.
Over 5,000 volunteers, 3,600 on slack working on outreach to communities and policy makers, gathering information, communication, analytics, and supporting medical response from masks to equipment innovation https://t.co/fIsXZD14Be
