“In the last hour of my telemedicine urgent care shift I have only seen COVID patients.” A betrayal from our public officials who have promoted mass denial and mass reinfection as they’ve significantly reduced testing, resources for treatments and financial support, and data.

I’m in a room of 12 patients, with only three of us masking, I ask one of the healthcare workers to bring masks to offer to the patients. She leaves the box outside the door. I grab the box and offer them to the patients, more than half asked for a mask. @lapublichealth

I’m wearing an N95 everywhere, even indoors with people close to me if I know they don’t consistently wear a mask in public or are around those who don’t, and I’ll be getting the updated Novavax when it’s available.

The obvious economic advantages to masks during a pandemic is there are more people alive, more people healthy, more businesses fully staffed and thus more participants in the overall economy. Being anti-mask results in economic instability/weakness. I prefer a strong economy.

SARS-CoV-2 is ruthless. My brother who is in his mid-30s, very much in-shape, fully vax and boosted, has now had COVID three times. He’s taking Paxlovid, so hopefully he feels better soon but wow 6 points of prior immune responses still not enough to stop transmission.

How about a pandemic response that is focused on prevention?

I can't believe that our government who is supposed to watch out for our best interest does not accelerate investments into clean indoor air, ubiquitous accessible PCR testing, free N95s, and in better vaccines. We can't keep normalizing SARS-2 infections. It is inhumane.

COVID: data showing variants are more transmissible than ever and that repeat infections lead to increasing rates of long covid. CDC: Pretending the pandemic is over is now official policy.

Me: I'm running for Congress. Uber driver: Just don't touch the Palestine issue, it's very sensitive. Me: I'm very outspoken about Palestinian liberation. Uber driver: Okay, in that case, you are going to win. I will tell everyone I know in Long Beach to vote for you.
