Again, relying on for-profit orgs for public goods like public health maybe wasn't our best idea.
Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens have signaled plans to collectively shutter more than 1,500 stores in the past two years.
Public health experts have already seen the fallout, noting that the first neighborhoods to lose their pharmacies are often predominantly Black, Latinx and low-income.

Aside from a cure, what would it take for chronic illnesses to not be disabling? Let's get wildly imaginative:
- A Universal Basic Income.
- Free healthcare (actually really free).
- A complete reimagining of success, productivity, work and health.

Once again begging Americans to realize that when it comes to "flu-like" illness many doctors are bullshit peddlers & not to be automatically trusted. Be wary when you feel like death & they're diagnosing you with flu without a flu test when there's more contagious SARS is going around
Me: I feel like death warmed up. But I’ve taken 3 tests, all negative.
Doc: It’s probably flu. We’re seeing lots of cases right now.
Hubs: You’re really not yourself. Take a fourth test.

Infuriating to me that our public health policy is so invested in minimizing that most folks don't know you can get reinfected within 28 days with the new strains. And yes, some people get Covid again while they're still getting over the last round.
Fortunately I’d started masking as soon as I showed symptoms bc you don’t want to give anyone the flu either! But my friends, NYCC was the last big con I plan on doing until this is well and truly over. I just had Covid 8 weeks ago. Clearly it granted no immunity, no blunted symptoms, nothing.

I really need a digital planner that shows all the events & due dates all at once for me & my immediate family in one place, bc I'm so out of sight out of mind, but doesn't make my brain instantly shut down from seeing it. Or a portable paper one that has enough space to write all the things 🤪

So if you don't want to get a vaccine or wear a mask, you have "fatigue," but if you don't want to work 70 hours a week, you're a quitter. I see how it works now.

In the midst of collapse, the bills keep coming, I'm really slammed at work, & my kids' school has endless requests/demands/plans for all the things. Everyone IRL is dissociating so I have to go online to vent/discuss at 11pm when I should be relaxing/sleeping. This country is fucked

The surreality re: illness continues at work. People who were sick in August are sick again. A person in their twenties fears they’re suffering from cognitive decline. Another’s lost count and thinks it’s their 5th or 6th infection. “Maybe the 6th will be easier!” LOLs ensue, etc.

"representative government" is when the entire country wants some economic relief and the leaders keep playing war instead.

All I know is that effective consistent masking is required to make any progress at all.
I only feel comfortable advocating for known mitigations that people smarter than me have figured out.

I wish people who complain about lack of Covid mitigations in events would also stop posting unmasked selfies to show off how much fun they had without Covid mitigations. Make it make sense.

Seeing Jews blockade the White House calling for a ceasefire and a halt to Israel’s genocide was a glimmer of hope as this country has marched in lockstep with Israel’s ethnic cleansing.
