1) #LongCovid -- 67% of people who develop long covid were vaccinated with mild/asymptomatic cases. While we don't know much and there is still much more to learn, we do know that STOP, REST, PACE is the best way to avoid LC

2) Cavalier behavior around others while infectious. @POTUS is Covid positive and there is at least 1 other person in the room to take this picture. Even if they are masked they are still being assaulted by the President's germs. See urine test metaphor below, it still applies.
3) #TwoAmericas I spoke about this at my DNC speech. POTUS will get the best treatment in the world: but does that apply to everyone he is coming in contact? Maybe the photographer but what about the people who cook & clean (and their kin) the White House?

4) GDP AT ALL COSTS. Produce at all costs, even if it's our collective and individual wellbeing. Work even if you're sick even if you get another person sick. @edyong209 just wrote about the early-death crisis today. 4/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…
I see my president selling us a narrative that is harmful and rooted in classism, ableism and racism.
What do you see?

June 30. #MarkTheDate Hi. This is Kristin. Sharing what's on my mind as I observe the 2-year anniversary of my Dad's passing from #Covid19. This is an unedited, uncut version, like the B side of an album. Give it a read. Then do something for those @MarkedByCovid 1/
My first memory of life without my Dad is seeing the last tendrils of sunlight disappearing over the horizon. I suspect I'll lean into that image for the rest of my life. After all, it helps numb the reality that I was at a gas station. 2/
I was at a gas station because I was driving from San Francisco to Phoenix in an attempt to get home and wrestle my way into the hospital to see him. I was driving because we were in the middle of a pandemic and there was no other way to safely get from point A to point B. 3/
June 27, 2020. Dear Dad, I hope you don't mind me sharing this message with the world. I'm a pretty private person. I don't tend to share my business this way. I imagine you will understand that I share our nightmare to inspire action, to help others, and bring people together 1/
in demanding action to protect our communities and save lives.
Arizona is about to hit surge capacity due to COVID. Cases have been on the rise since May 25, 10 days after @DougDucey allowed the state's stay-at-home order to expire, and people, like you,
2/
interpreted that as back to "normal" times. I am not angry at you. You followed the lead of the people in charge. In times of crisis, that's what we're supposed to do.
But Dad, I'm enraged with the carelessness of @DougDucey & Donald Trump, who rather jeopardize the health

2/ Did your loved one catch Covid and die just weeks before they were able to get a vaccine because the US has failed to deliver on #VaccineEquity? @JanethNunezdelP@MarkedByCovid
