There’s a good chance this becomes a mental health crisis before it’s a physical health crisis. Lots of lonely adults and children who depend on schools, restaurants, stores, for their only social interactions. Not to mention the legit economic stress this is causing.
It’s one thing to have your social life or vacation disrupted. And 2 weeks doesn’t sounds long. But it’s interminable for isolated kids and adults, especially devastating for the elderly. Hospital beds, we got. Enough people to help stem a potential mental health crisis? No.

Burr doesn’t deserve benefit of the doubt. He gave it to no one during his committee’s long, fruitless investigation into Russian collusion:

School closures over are forcing officials to come up with plans to feed millions of students. Michelle Obama’s school lunch overhaul massively expanded the number of kids who receive “free” meals at school, even for families who can afford them: amgreatness.com/2020/03/16/cov…
Did you know that the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act allows entire school districts rather than individual families to apply for free meals? Large school districts like NYC, Chicago provide breakfast, lunch and a snack to every student regardless of need paid by federal taxpayers.
“After abdicating responsibility for feeding children from parents and guardians to the state, including for families who don’t need the assistance, the Wuhan virus crisis is forcing schools to figure out how to keep the free meals flowing for at least the next few weeks.”

The public sabotage of the Trump administration by Obama’s top henchmen never stops. Now Susan Rice—yes, the YouTube video huckster, the unmasker of Trump associates, the “by the book” CYA email author, the Russian collusion propagandist—is revealing... politico.com/news/2020/03/1…
that a week after the infamous dossier-“pee tape” briefing, Team Obama held a briefing about potential disasters. The same White House that botched H1N1 suddenly had expert advice to share with Trump transition team. The latest “dossier” now made public has many same doomsday...
predictions the media and Dems (and some Repubs) are repeating. Here’s Susan Rice: “As a result of these accumulated failures, many more Americans will fall ill and die than might have been the case, and the economic impact will be worse than necessary.” nytimes.com/2020/03/13/opi…

Let's dispel the notion that "novel coronavirus is just like the flu". Sharing this striking comparison of #Flu, #COVID19, #SARS and #MERS made by @BioRender.

#COVID19 is 30x more deadly and almost 2x more contagious than the flu. We have no existing immunity to COVID19.

*Mental health thread*

At least 1 in 4 of us are suffering with mental health illnesses.

We are all human and we do not know what trouble the human beside us is facing.

🙏 CHOOSE to listen, support, be kind & fair.

Your hello and smile may be what gives someone strength.
The thing about mental health is that it can seriously affect how we see things, how we perceive ourselves and others around us.

Negative thoughts of failure or self-criticism or loss of confidence being wrongly reinforced by how others treat us can affect how we feel.
Eventually it can all become overwhelming.

One can feel that they can no longer cope.

Choose not to be the person who takes away someone’s sense of security, self belief, sense of achievement or confidence.

Good morning yall. My rest day got hijacked by a crisis in my community. I am emotionally exhausted by the labor I performed to keep someone safe from the prison and psychiatric industrial complexes. Today I will rest, do laundry, see my therapist and get a massage. Take care.
And I just have to say: the limited availability of psychiatric care in this country is so upsetting. The replacement of mental health care with policing is enraging. For example: There were no beds in psych wards anywhere in this county last night...
After hours of waiting we were told our options were to send this person to a dentention center 3 hrs away (jail) or take them home during an acute mental health crisis to deal with it on our own. I left exhausted, demoralized and still concerned for folks’ safety.

The Republican Party needs to be destroyed. We need to start talking in terms that reflect the dire situation we are in. The party is engaging in an all out war on women, the planet, our neighbors, our children. What will the history book say if we do not stand up?
The Supreme Court is not going to save us. The democrats are not going to save us. This is not a time for business as usual. The rules don’t apply anymore. People are already dying, we aren’t even going to have a planet anymore if we don’t step up.
Fascism is on the rise, the effects of unfettered capitalism are killing us and the planet and women’s rights are under attack. Voting isn’t enough. It’s part of it but not enough. We need to agitate, organize, fight. Now or never.
