Honest question:
Is it “Your wife’s body, my choice”?
Is it “Your daughter’s body, my choice”?
Is it “Your sister’s body, my choice”?
I’m just trying to figure out where the line is.
I’ll wait.
America is a drug addict that does horrible things, gets bailed out, swears they learned their lesson, then does the same shit again...
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
I’ve decided to suspend tweets for the time being. There is a time and a place to call out behaviors that need changing. To name the unhealthy beliefs at the root of these behaviors. Sometimes, even in snarky, cynical ways. But I don’t think that’s what we need right now.
I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my very early decision to close the “borders” from China - against the wishes of almost all. Many lives were saved. The Fake News new narrative is disgraceful & false!
As predicted, #COVID19 is exposing all of the societal inequities. It’s upsetting for me to 1) have to ration out #COVID19 testing to my patients, then 2) have to wait 5-7 days for the results, when celebrities are getting tested with ease and quick turnaround times.
The fact that celebrities with no symptoms are being tested and everyone else is being told we shouldn’t try and be tested without symptoms is all you need to know about our culture.
The difference is: regardless of what we do now, all American families will eventually die.
There’s no point in saving them.
The American Economy?
It will live forever.
(But only if we keep bailing it out.)
Workers asked to stay home because of coronavirus need emergency protections and full sick pay guaranteed. We bailed out the banks in a crisis, and so the government must be prepared to do the same for families.
