What is this
Which is it, they're both positive and don't need to quarantine or they're both infectious and need to wear masks all the time except for 10 hours a day while eating and sleeping which is it?

JUST. GIVE. THE. FUCKING. TESTS. AWAY. EVERYWHERE. YOU. CAN. WITHOUT. PAPERWORK. YES. I. LITERALLY. MEAN. GIVE. THEM. AWAY. FOR. FREE. AT. SCHOOLS. IN. THE. MAIL. AT. VAX. SITES. WITHOUT. INSURANCE. OR. FORMS. OR. WEBSITES. JUST. PUT. TESTS. IN. HANDS. AND. UP. NOSES. FOR. FREE!
I believe it includes Medicaid and ACA plans.

Still 30 million—THIRTY MILLION—have no insurance at all, not even Medicaid!

STOP FUCKING AROUND AND JUST GIVE OUT THE TESTS. MASKS, TOO!

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!! "Study: Risk of severe COVID-19 imperils millions of uninsured"

A viral underclass made at every turn!

I don’t feel like most of us have accepted how bad this is going to make life, nor how many lives it will end. The vaccines are working well at individual protection—but the scale of direct harm & collateral damage of what’s coming is almost as unfathomable as it was preventable.
Vaccines work best at a population level by making them encounter viruses so infrequently, they have fewer chances to breakthrough.

What we have is runaway community spread — like pointing a fire hose at someone wearing a water resistant jacket & expecting them to stay dry.
The good news, such as it is, is that the percent of cases leading to overall hospitalizations and death is much lower than it would have been pre-vaccine; the bad news is that sheer volume is SO MUCH HIGHER than it ever was pre-vaccine—and it's still rising.

1. Extremely proud of our journalism students at Northwestern, and the courage they have to fearlessly report on an institution which has so much power over the grades, housing, food, medical career and futures
2. Journalism gets the goods, and the federal lawsuit cites @thedailynu's print

and "The Weekly" podcast

reporting from 2019 on treatment given to legacy admissions.

I will never understand how news media can hire people who were working like YESTERDAY to spin the news media, give them the microphone, then turn around and say "Why doesn't the public trust us?"
Symone Sanders announced her departure from the White House a month ago. It is likely she was negotiating her new job at MSNBC while she was working for the people. How is that ethical? Ppl get angry at workers becoming lobbyists right after leaving govt—how is this better?
Yup. Legislators sell their govt expertise off to the highest bidding corporation after short stints in govt. It is BARELY regulated. But I don't think there is any regulation or oversight of spokes ppl leaving for lucrative talking head gigs at all.

1. Today I was supposed to meet my dear friend, who is an FDNY chaplain, for an outdoor lunch. She had to cancel at the last minute, when she rushed off to a fire.

When I found out why, a familiar rose up in me.
2. My friend had found me a safe place to live when, in 2018, the radiator in my East Village walk up had exploded, spewing boiling water across ceiling, walls, floors. So much hot water scaled the ceiling before the FDNY arrived, part of the ceiling collapsed.
3. Had I been asleep when that had happened, I'd have been badly scalded or possibly killed.

It happened because may landlord didn't do a safety check before turning on the heat that winter.

My landlord was a well-known repeat offender of a landlord.
