Imagine the world if we’d been willing to learn from COVID…
What if we’d embraced WFH to slow climate change?
What if we’d installed filtration systems in public buildings to reduce the spread of illness?
What if we’d demanded disability justice re long COVID?
A better world is still possible.

Thing is, the rise in strokes is not 'Shocking' to anyone paying attention - we are allowing a pandemic virus that we know causes strokes to run riot. It’s not shocking, it’s exactly what you’d expect to happen.

No, we don't and — more importantly — we can't.
The halfway point between truth and lies isn't some kind of common ground, a shared concession zone where reality applies only a little or just some of the time.

Saw a 1m old premature baby struggling to breathe... had bronchiolitis, inflammation of the airways, which has a bunch of viral causes including Covid.
The whole resuscitation team was masked.
The parents and visiting family were not.

In several years (if we are still here), people will ask “you knew how to filter air in buildings but you just chose not to and kept getting sick? Even though you filtered water for that reason?” 🤷🏼♀️

Wow. A local 28yo woman just died after 2 strokes, a series of seizures, brain herniation due to swelling, and a rare infection. She was apparently happy and healthy 2 months ago. In the Before Times, how rare/common? Not unexpected now? ☹️

Nothing like climbing 3 flights of stairs to and from the appointment to establish care with my new PCP, while in the medical suite everyone going about life like it's the Before Times. I'm the weirdo in the mask creeping in and out via the fire escape stairs trying to keep my anxiety under control.
