Ppl have blasted the POTUS for not following the science, but this is so much more. This is not following the science, surrounding yourself w/ppl who reinforce your world view, cutting yourself off from the global community, & reinforcing a system that prioritizes white ppl (11/)

Instead of pretending like we can go "back to normal," a historic pandemic should have ushered in transformative structural reforms like increased sick pay for all workers.

Dying also causes "learning loss" and is much harder to reverse.

I feel like if you have a degree in public health and you're watching what's happening right now, it's got to be kind of like having an engineering degree and the government engineers are just like, "and then we'll build the main supports with macaroni," and everyone just agrees.

There you have it. When push comes to shove, policing doesn't do what it claims to do. Police are not the heros we see on TV. They are not the solution to our problems.

So this version of normal ie “living with the virus” *SEEMS* to not be working out so well, with another surge, new onset rapid liver failure in children, further increasing rates of stroke, etc. Great news, we actually can still do a lot to clean indoor air & protect each other!

I am here to tell you, if you are indoors and not at home, you should be wearing a good mask, ideally N95 or KN94. #COVID19 numbers are rising fast, new variants are highly contagious, and more and more #LongCovid

In 1959, Eugene Ionesco wrote the absurdist play Rhinoceros in which one by one, an entire town of people suddenly transform into rhinos. At first, people are horrified but as the contagion spreads, (almost) everyone comes to accept that turning into a rhinoceros is fine. 1/

Mask mandates should not end. We are going to sacrifice the lives and good health of a large portion of the population for a temporary election-driven 'feel-good' moment. Covid is still a danger, even to young healthy people and I will outline why in this thread:

If Donald Trump were president today, 50,000 people a month were dying of Covid, and we were approaching 1,000,000 deaths, would an MSNBC show be treating a hungry person shoplifting as national news? Would the NYT be hosting a “post-Omicron” victory lap?

There has been a flurry of reporting about "irrational" vaccinated 18-34 year olds who still worry about catching COVID. But journalists are making huge assumptions and missing the story. Using myself as an example, let me break down how they misunderstand my COVID caution.

Issue with #UrgencyofNormal framing is that we get to normal by reducing cases, hospitalizations, + deaths. Normal is the ER having a bed for you. Normal is your kid having a teacher every day. 2300 deaths a day ISN'T normal. Normal requires recognizing the #UrgencyOfPublicHealth

/1 Hi Lucy and your colleagues. Your advocacy toolkit contains poorly sourced, contexted, and biased information on mental health during the pandemic/schooling. And I have receipts too! (thread) #urgencyofnormal x.com/drlucymcbride/…
