Self-isolation is tough on mental health and much more. LOVE this message being sent around in Spain. A #coronavirus self-isolation calendar of events trying to create sense of community while everyone shut behind closed doors 👇/1
Today, Monday at 9pm (this
IS Spain after all) everyone should wave torches at window/balcony (most Spaniards in towns/cities live in flats) in memory of #coronavirus victims. Tuesday 9pm head for the balcony un-combed, dressed in pyjamas singing I will survive .. /2
Wednesday, dress up like Jane Fonda (incl leg warmers) for an aerobic session to tune of We Will Rock You at 9pm. Thursday at 9 everyone sing happy birthday to all those celebrating birthday in self-isolation /3
This Friday, face 2nd weekend of self-isolation in good cheer, singing Spanish song of survival/strength (without throwing yourself off said balcony) NB Not exactly good taste that last calendar comment. Assume it’s attempt to bring some (black)humour to frightening situation /3

Ahead of EU summit (by video conference) tomorrow, there’s immense pressure on Europe’s leaders to work out an „exit strategy“ from #coronavirus crisis .. so that economies don’t sink under cost of all the extraordinary measures /1
The will is there but the way ..? At this time of emergency for individual countries it will be as challenging as ever to get all EU members to agree on united concrete action rather than warm wording in summit conclusions - /2
eg See failure of Eurogroup nations coming to specific agreement yesterday beyond „broad support“ for use of their bailout fund during the #coronavirus crisis /3

My anger has been simmering for years and now I'm furious. I've written for 8 years about our decimated primary care/public health care system, including lack of preparedness for epidemics. @commonwealthfnd sums it up nicely. #coronavirus 1/x long thread! commonwealthfund.org/blog/2020/coro…
I first wrote about our lack of preparedness in 2012 @Forbes. A good part of the ACA? Funding had been greatly increased for public health. Guess what? That funding was the first to get cut in the arguments over the ACA. 2/x #pandemics #COVID19 forbes.com/sites/carolynm…
Later in 2012, I wrote about the importance of community health centers and how they have to beg Congress time and time again for funding. Guess what? They still have to beg and funding gets cut year after year. @NACHC
Here is the article @Forbes - 3/x forbes.com/sites/carolynm…

#Coronavirus and your mental health: Two experts explain why we panic and how to cope. thestar.com/news/canada/20… @TorontoStar #mentalhealth #health #COVID19
I spoke with a psychologist and a sociologist, both from China originally with personal experiences worrying about their family members, after asking readers for your questions about #coronavirus #COVID19 and your mental health. thestar.com/news/canada/20… @TorontoStar
When @yueqian_soc learned that her hometown of #Wuhan was under quarantine, she felt helpless as she realized her father was trapped at the epicentre of the #coronavirus outbreak.

Here’s how what her dad did next inspired her research: thestar.com/news/canada/20… @TorontoStar

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

We desperately need #GunReform laws in the U.S. #MassacreMitch has an A+ rating by the NRA, & has taken $ MILLIONS, ensuring no gun laws pass.

R’s are handmaidens to the gun lobby, ensuring thousands die yearly, so long as they get #NRABloodMoney. courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
Now #MassacreMitch has stated he will only allow a Senate vote on #GunReform laws IF #VeryStableGenius is guaranteed to sign it. He wants to be absolved of any responsibility.

What.

A.

Leader.
These deaths are on his hands though. He requests to be known as the Grim Reaper on passing legislation. He certainly lives up to the name.

The NRA is in Republicans’ pocketbooks as well as ears, telling them how to spread fear & lies about guns to the public.

We know better.

Rubio has an A+ rating, & has taken $3.3 million from the NRA. He is just one of many R’s (Cruz) who are handmaidens to the gun lobby. The safety of the public is not as important as their #NRABloodMoney.

Let’s dispel gun myths the NRA constantly parrots. tampabay.com/florida-politi…
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
This is probably the most common argument heard from gun advocates. It’s true that guns can’t kill by themselves & DO indeed need someone to pull the trigger... Guns don’t kill people, but allow someone who WOULD kill much easier, faster, more lethal means for killing. #GunReform
