Medicaid expansion: morally right, fiscally smart, people-centered and now, upheld by the Sup. Court!
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the over a decade-long fight to provide healthcare for working Missouri families- Together, WE DID IT. https://t.co/QRsTpKxtrF

Uh, yeah!

Do you still wear a mask when you're out in public? Some health officials around the United States, including Los Angeles, have reinstated mask mandates.

[kludodds @kludodds1]

"It is spreading easily because people have ditched their masks, crowded into indoor spaces, resumed travel, and resisted vaccinations." -most never masked! & SW MO has long been 'cautionary tale'-low teacher salary, poor access 2 health care, child poverty rate, living wage...

🚨I wrote about what Delta is doing to Missouri. Some hospitals have accrued as many COVID-19 patients in 5 weeks as they got in 5 months last year. Almost all those patients are unvaccinated. HCWs can't believe they're being overwhelmed *again*. 1/

98 patients in critical care, 58 are on ventilators. This is an all-time high. This rate of severe illness is worse than anything we’ve seen.

125 Covid+ inpatients, 34% symptomatic positivity. We have now been able to bring in 141 “traveling” nurses & RTs. 66 more scheduled to start by 7/26, and pursuing more.

“We feel broken, but we are not, we will continue to serve, help and support” -a note to me from a brave RN

[Steve Edwards @SDECoxHealth]

97 inpatients, 2 more deaths.

As the national media focuses on Springfield as a center of Delta variant, remember it will not stay in SW Mo. There are states and many areas with vax rates far lower. The delta variant is driving this, fueled by unvaccinated kindling. Prepare.

[Steve Edwards @SDECoxHealth]

Mercy running out of ventilators is not a management issue. It’s about how rapidly the landscape changes under the delta variant. Sicker, younger, quicker. Mercy responded with lightening speed. They share a great burden of the care in SW Mo. Please support them.

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

Oh yea, also #1 in Covid cases per capita,terrible support for public education,our roads are beyond awful. But Lord knows we’re fighting all the culture wars. AND are trying to outlaw birth control. 🥴

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Today’s verdict affirming Derek Chauvin’s responsibility for killing George Floyd is the right outcome in this trial, but it is not justice.

Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to help end this cycle of violence.

The life of Dominique Lucious, cut tragically short, matters. Dominique's friends and family are in my prayers.

Trans women of color are disproportionately victims of violent crime for simply existing. We must do better by our trans and non-binary communities.

Just what I needed on this Easter weekend.."As we leave the tombs of quarantine, a return to normal would be a disaster unless we recognize that we are going back to a world desperately in need of healing." I will work toward healing!
