The story that needed to be told (or more like yelled): the awful plight of the immunocompromised during COVID-19. Somehow our society has lost compassion and empathy for others, even if it can be life-threatening. Another brilliant story from Ed Yong is not here The Atlantic.

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place. It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

I am so DISGUSTED. How many more people need to die from gun violence for there to be a change? My heart hurts so much. I'm so sick and tired of this.
