some personal news:
if anyone else called me to say "hi I'm running for Congress, will you move across the country to help" I'd say "no lol ur delusional" but it was Lucia so I said "yes duh"

From MontCo to Bucks, from our streets to the halls of congress, one thing rings true: politics are personal. They're in our rent, health insurance premiums, electricity bills, and grocery bills. I’m running for Congress to ensure that government works for us, not billionaires and corporate donors.

not too late for a flu shot btw, flu historically often peaks in february and by all accounts it is pretty bad this year
Flu deaths exceeded COVID deaths last winter and we may be on track for the same thing this year!
I can speak anecdotally that at the hospital I work at we’ve had very low covid census. We test anyone experiencing respiratory symptoms, and we’ve had very few people with Covid who have needed to be hospitalized. Which is a relief because we are absolutely inundated with flu rn

one of the truly depressing things about the culture war over masks is that we simply refuse to treat them as a tool to mitigate the spread of illness! it should be normal to wear a mask in public when you don’t feel well even if it’s not about saving anybody’s life!!!!! why would you mock that
or- and this will blow too many minds, for reasons that depress me deeply-
THEY CARE ABOUT OTHER PPL
hence find it totally worthwhile
TO DO THIS 1 EASY FKN TRICK THAT MIGHT SAVE A LIFE OR FEW (+if nothing else save ppl some real unpleasant days/missed pay)

These people aren't masking for shits and giggles- they are the immunocompromised, elderly, and others who are, or believe themselves to be, particularly vulnerable to infections of airborne viruses such as sars-cov-2, influenza, etc.
