There are major, quite alarming reasons why Biden and Walensky were so emotional today and so strident in their messaging. Please read this.

Internal CDC data shows virus regaining foothold as Biden urges states to pause reopening politi.co/39m5M9G
"The number of new cases jumped by 11 percent over the past week to a seven-day average of about 60,000 cases, according to an interagency memo dated March 29 and obtained by POLITICO."
"Nationally, the number of new Covid-19 hospital admissions and currently hospitalized patients both increased by 4 percent, said the memo, which is based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
"By comparison, a memo dated March 11 reported that the country's 7-day average test positivity was at its lowest value since the beginning of the pandemic — 4.2%. And the seven-day daily average of confirmed Covid-19 hospital admissions had decreased by 13% from the week prior."

When I was in college, my then-partner and I were the star witnesses in the first federal police brutality trial in Philadelphia. It was eight months of different stages of trial, threats by police, disruption of our lives, testifying. It was a life-altering experience.
1/
We were driving home late one night from an all-night market and witnessed police chase a car in front of us. Soon we were trapped between several police cars & the car they'd chased. They dragged the Black man in the car out & beat him with nightsticks. We tried to intervene.
2/
It was a horrifying, terrifying scene. I was 19--I thought I was invincible. I got out of the car and yelled at the police to stop. I reached for one officer's arm, raised, holding a nightstick. He whirled around at me, threatened me, ordered me back in the car. I was yelling.

So this #60Minutes segment on the origin of #COVID19 is a real error in judgment. Why are we back to the debunked Trump admin theory that China cooked up the virus in a Wuhan lab? This is presented as a #bothsides story with no conclusion that will only fuel anti-Asian rhetoric.
Jamie Metzl, a member of a WHO advisory committee, says China did its own investigation of the Wuhan lab. His and his team's argument is that Wuhan has a grade 4 level virology lab and there was no serious investigation of whether there was an virus leak in the Wuhan lab.
Peter Daszak is an expert on zoonotic diseases. He also works with the Wuhan lab. Daszak says that bats infected wild animal food farms. The WHO agreed this is the most likely transmission. Daszak says the lab did not have the virus. He is frankly more believable on this issue.

#BoycottCocaColaCo is trending. If you really are boycotting, Coke owns 500 brands and are the world's largest beverage company. So it's not just Coke--it's everything from Bacardi to Dasani to Fairlife, Nestea to Simply. Be sure to check a list if their products. It's a lot.
Other Coke brands:
Red Bull. Sprite.Capri Sun. Minute Maid. Dr. Pepper. Vitamin Water. Powerade. Fanta. Honest Tea. Peace Tea. Schweppes. Fresca. Fuze. Gold Peak. Smartwater. Costa coffee. Georgia coffee. Appletiser. Ades. A ton of specialty drinks.
*Wrong energy drink-- Coke attempted to buy Red Bull in 2015, but instead got Monster Energy. They also acquired Glaceau.

Coca Cola also has bought up brands throughout Latin America, South Asia, and the Phillipines. Many of their major soft drinks, waters and juices are Coke's.

Good point. I was referencing physical #disability, but wasn't explicit. Haines is often talked over by her co-hosts when she raises the topic of mental illness, though, which exemplifies why we need more PWDs on TV talk shows. Standing up to non-disabled people can be very hard.
FYI: PWDs = People With Disabilities.
I also should have used more appropriate terms: visible and invisible disabilities. All disabilities are body, but not all can be seen. I was dxd with MS at 30 and that #disability was largely invisible. But since non-disabled people prefer to hide visibly #disabled--show us!

So all the crucial data points here are at the end. Women respond more dramatically to ALL vaccines, but because researchers didn't even test women in vaccine trials until recently, we don't know why.

Women Report Worse Side Effects After a Covid Vaccine nytimes.com/2021/03/08/hea…
As for the COVID vaccines, no one bothered to differentiate women from men despite FACTS about XX chromosomes and vaccines to see if women needed less vaccine than men and if side-effects could be mitigated.
So now as always, the science/medical industry shrugs off the impact on women's bodies of not considering them as important as men in testing a critical new vaccine that will be in use for decades to come. This piece is both gobsmacking and infuriating.

This is a critically important thread.📌 Mocking #disability is, alas, bipartisan--everyone loves to do it. When I challenge people about their #ableism, they take offense. Non-disabled people talk over and through #disabled people all the time. Stop using ableist language. ...
... Disabled people are victimized on so many levels by so many people. Performative #ableism is commonplace. People use ableist language constantly. And victimizing disabled people is systemic. More than half of all police shootings are of disabled people. All so disheartening.
Case in point: If anyone GAF about #disabled people, Cuomo would have been forced to resign months ago over what he did to disabled and elderly people. And Trump's abuse of a #disabled reporter was a clear indicator of his #ableism, bigotry and saying the quiet parts out loud.
