BREAKING: For the 1st time in more than 3 years, most of the Bay Area has completely wiped out the dry/drought conditions on the latest drought monitor. Nearly 64% of California is now out of the drought (dry category is not considered drought, only moderate or greater).
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
SF folks: it's now a big-time surge. No longer just cases (~500/d reported, so true # >2K, or ~250/100K/d). Also major uptick in hospitalizations: 98 in SF (vs 18 six wks ago). @UCSFHospitals 41 pts in hospital, twice April #.
If you're trying to stay well, time to up your game.
And please don't suggest breastfeeding. There are people able to sustain their children on breast milk alone, it is a luxury and many(~19.2%) supplement with formula in at least the first few days to avoid starving the infant. https://t.co/tlMJ1VfTpY.
This is the infant formula section today at Target in Marin City. The fact that there's no formula to purchase should horrify you. Where are parents supposed to do to feed their babies?
Let this be remembered as the night the Met Gala saluted the Gilded Age, a time of outrageous wealth disparity coated in the patina of luxury, while the Supreme Court sentenced poor women seeking reproductive freedom to death.
