The thing that most annoys me with articles on COVID is the constant framing of the infection with zero mention of ongoing post infection risks which are now well researched and documented. Talking in terms of one infection instead of cumulative impacts. So many I talk to are saying things like 🧵

It's high time for all hospitals, daycares, public schools and long term care facilities to be taking airborne precautions 24/7 from now until .... well ... forever.
Because so many of the nasties out there, are either predominantly airborne or have an airborne component.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

longstanding theory on this is that people who know the applicant that they don't want to hire has racial resentment offer "wish i could've hired you, but they made me hire a black woman instead!" as a let-them-down-easy cope rather than admit to them that they just didn't want to hire them.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."

Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

But where are the labor unions? Forcing people back to work when they are sick is a critical labor issue.
