This is a really good visual reminder. People, behind the scenes, tv folks are all #maskedup #maskup

Went to Urgent Care last week and was told by a staffer to "take off that mask" to help "toughen up" my immune system. "I'm a cancer patient," I said. She laughed and said, "That doesn't matter."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

This from Malcolm X is always pertinent, and remains so incisive right now.

Usual increase in sick farm workers—on almost every farm with sick animals (with bird flu), veterinarian saw sick people, too—“It was just a surprise, of disbelief. We were actively checking on humans… ➡️I had people who never missed work, miss work.” 🤔

COVID killed people in prisons at disproportionately higher rates, and has been the leading cause of US police deaths over the last few years. Yet, police officers are ripping masks off protestors.

BIG! A bill passed in Hawaii to effectively convert 10,000's of illegal Airbnb's to local housing. Incredible work from @OurHawaii808 and Lahaina Strong. The winning strategy was uniting fire survivors, advocates, and unions – then going all out. https://t.co/Rx8aSENuqr

“I think Google fired me because they saw how much traction this movement within Google is gaining,” says Hatfield...“I think they wanted to cause a kind of chilling effect by firing me, to make an example out of me.”

They never learn do they.

You knew this was coming.

Next:

Car accidents: are they really so bad?

Smoking could be cool again if not for health anxiety

Brushing your teeth may be more trouble than it's worth

Are you still washing your hands after pooping? Are you a germophobe or something?

There's lots in here to explore about physiotherapists treating Long Covid, but one sentence leaped out at me:
"It’s very challenging... to bring people in and do a therapy session because by the time they get dressed, drive, walk in from the parking lot, they’re exhausted. They have nothing left for me to do. I can do a couple things and then they go home and they are exhausted for the day so I am making them more sick rather than better"

The country that put a man on the moon & accomplished the Manhattan Projects & other leaps in technology & ingenuity simply gave up doing anything to stop a preventable disease & allowed it spread, kill & disable millions of Americans for no reason.
