"I encourage everyone to continue to live the healthiest life they can. A balanced diet, fresh air, and vitamins really are vital to keep our bodies healthy" -- so about this/1

encouraging a "healthy lifestyle" is really a moral directive unless ppl in power address the things that make healthy living possible. a "balanced diet"-- for those without $ to shop?; "fresh air" except when people put incinerators in ppl's back yards?; "vitamins" -- are BS/2

this is a capsule of what it means to conceptualize health as wholly dependent on the self. her son is a "strong teenager" so did well; she "lives healthy" & took vitamins, so got better. no mention of the fact that they direct gobs of resources and have doctors down the hall/3

literally proving the opposite of what she says -- she clearly took away nothing from her experience and has little understanding of what it means to have covid in our cruel society, esp under her husband and her who have turned it up to 11. /fin & ick
