1/4: Many thanks @NicolleDWallace for hosting me today @DeadlineWH with @MaraGay @DavidJollyFL speaking on sharp declines in life expectancy from #covid especially in Black and Brown communities, I pointed that life expectancy numbers = averages 
2/4: but that my read between the lines is that it means losing a generation of African American and Hispanic moms and dads in their 40s 50s 60s parents of teenagers or young adults, young grandparents. I called this “historic decimation”
3/4: I also very much appreciated @MaraGay comments on the stark reality that every African American adult knows someone who has suffered or lost their life from #COVID19. Last year I predicted this and said COVID will go from a public health to homeland security crisis from this
4/4: Lastly thanks to @NicolleDWallace for asking me about my family after 3 days in the freezing cold, no power, no water here in Texas. It was particularly challenging with my adult special needs daughter, but now power just returned 2 hours ago
