I’m gonna be real here. Depression has been getting to me the last few days. I am fine and very privileged to be surrounded (virtually) by people who care, and have a therapist I love. But depression is real.

I say all this to let you all know you’re not alone.

A thread...
One of my opponents is talking about getting us tested so the immune people can get back to work. Huh?

I see almost nobody talking about the emotional toll this has on our society. The trauma. Each one of us has had a sudden and major change in our lives, many lost loved ones.
I don’t know how anyone can overlook the fact that our amazing city has lost over 10,000 people, and we are nowhere near done with this thing.

To think everyone can just go back to normal after this and keep earning money for their bosses is absurd.
Nobody should be talking about going back to work until there’s a solid plan in place to ensure we all have the healthcare *including* mental healthcare guaranteed to us.

Nobody should be at work NOW unless they have the supplies they need to keep them safe.
And NOBODY should be talking about restarting the economy if their priority isn’t getting help to the PEOPLE who are trying to survive FIRST.
