“When we go before Him, God will ask, 'Where are your wounds?' And we will say, 'I have no wounds.' And God will ask, 'Was there nothing worth fighting for?'" - Allan Boesak, South African cleric, politician, and anti-apartheid activist, born 75 years ago today on 23 Feb 1945.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is requesting feedback on implementing a minimum staffing standard in nursing homes. Now's the time to make your voice heard! It takes just 2 minutes! Follow these quick & easy instructions: theconsumervoice.org/news/detail/la…

This thread isn’t about isolating It’s about how to mitigate risk based on the best information you can have For ex, PLEASE Don’t walk into a nursing home just bc it’s been ten days from symptom start IF you still have a positive test You’re most likely infectious 7/
With COVID, and all infections: Symptoms occur for at least 2 VERY different reasons 1) Immunity Fighting the infection (fever, congestion) 2) The infection winning & causing harm (lose smell, breathing issues) Symptoms do NOT define if you are infectious, the virus does! 1/
Johns Hopkins study on lockdowns is just science catching up with what we all knew already. Lockdowns were not about health. Lockdowns were a failure. Lockdowns killed people.
We are not asking the right questions! Why was a door propped open? How did a poor 18-year-old afford an AR-15? How are trained Uvalde law enforcement too scared to take out an 18-year-old? WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON PERPETRATED MASSIVE FRAUD TRIAL?
8) We MUST engage the whole community. We’re all in this together. Our proposal for Resident, Family and Community Advisory Councils needs to quickly move forward. caltcm.org/caltcm-white-p…
We need a federal investigation of what appears to have been a horrible police response to the Uvalde shooting. Based on their shifting accounts and culpability, the Texas state govt and local police department can't be relied on to determine the truth. nytimes.com/live/2022/05/2…

Just re-watched the 60 minutes segment on AR-15s and their devastating impact on the human body. If I had Biden’s job, there would be an executive order TONIGHT to ban them in civilian hands. It’s long overdue to play hard ball with America’s hemorrhoids that own these things.
How can 19 armed police officers cower outside an elementary school classroom for more than an hour — listening to the shots while young children are being slaughtered — and do NOTHING? They heard the shots, damn it!! If you ask me, every damn one of them needs to be prosecuted.

While for-profit nursing homes made over $1b in profits from COVID reimbursements, the state saved $3b from 16,000 nursing home deaths. They chose to let the vulnerable die and if there is no accountability for these decisions, we are normalizing #eldercide as a solution
