🚨I wrote about immunocompromised people—what they’ve been through, their frustrations, and their hopes.

This is a plea to think about those who don’t get to be done with the pandemic, and to prioritize them as a matter of moral and medical urgency. 1/

@monica_campbell @TheWorld You’ve been such an inspiration, and thanks for your years of service to public radio listeners! I hope to hear more Monica Campbell stories on the airwaves, and I’m waiting for the day we can meet again to enjoy dosas together!

Women journalists are among the most at-risk populations in #Afghanistan. Action is urgent: we support all measures to ensure the safety of media workers attempting to evacuate and call on all governments worldwide to open their borders.

Read the story of Afghan journalist @NadiaMomand by @SheridanDani. The situation is a ticking time bomb for her and many other women: https://t.co/NRhxULebKE

🚨In a new piece, I lay out and explore 3 principles that now define the pandemic.

1) The vaccines are still beating the variants.
2) The variants are pummelling unvaccinated people.
3) The longer 2 continues, the less likely 1 will hold.

@deepafern @michaelbolden @sfchronicle The Bay has a strong pull. But, I didn’t physically move (couldn’t go far during the pandemic). I’ve actually been broadcasting from KALW’s SoCal bureau (aka my room!) the whole time!

@katbeee Reminds me of the time I saw Irish Spring soap at a market in Okinawa! (yep, I bought some🍀) How much was the Jif peanut butter?

@KhushAndOJ @madhulikasikka It took a global pandemic to make us all think Phoenix is exotic & gram-worthy! Now, even I feel like going there 😅

@fizapirani This was me EVERYDAY before March 14th. Now when the clock strikes 5, I breathe a huge sigh of relief, since I’ve got a whopping 2 hours to squeeze in my daily dose of sun. This year’s time change has literally changed my life!

[Sonia Narang @sonianarang]

@lapublichealth Also I know, @lapublichealth, I shouldn’t take out my frustration on you.

[Sonia Narang @sonianarang]

@lapublichealth Yes I really need to talk to you. How can I stay mentally sane when you’re opening indoor dining, movie theaters, gyms, museums, aquariums, etc when Covid-19 is still a major threat? The fact people want to rush to these places during a global pandemic is making me crazy.

[Sonia Narang @sonianarang]

Also, the best part is how health officials think only people from the same household are eating together. I see groups of people my age with no children eating together all the time. Does the restaurant just assume it’s one big household? If so, they’d be arguing the whole time.

[Sonia Narang @sonianarang]

Wait, so lemme get this straight? Covid’s over? I’m very interested in interviewing people who think indoor dining & movie theaters are safe, especially the unvaccinated.

[LA Public Health @lapublichealth]

Grades 7-12, Indoor Dining, Movie Theaters, and Other Sectors May Reopen on Monday with Safety Measures in Place. 101 New Deaths and 947 New Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County. View https://t.co/2DogNuAsPc for more.

[Sonia Narang @sonianarang]

I guess LA wants to celebrate its one-year pandemic anniversary with a bang, literally. What do people who actually work for @lapublichealth think about these re-openings when there’s a possibility of a variant and a very small % of residents vaccinated?
