If a healthcare worker doesn't wear a respirator without prompting, I know they either don't understand airborne transmission or don't care about patient safety (or their own). So getting healthcare requires pretending to respect someone I know is a fool or a villain. That sucks.

You can, of course, ignore this. As they say, "It's a free country." But a new #SARSCoV2 variant is spreading rapidly in several countries, and World Health Organization (WHO) says it's time to 😷😷😷😷😷

You do get that this is bad, right? And that once again public health agencies and officials are just watching it happen?

If you think a nightmarish, unconstitutional round up of innocent people, merely suspected of being enemies of the state, can’t happen in the U.S., then you’re forgetting that it already has. I was among them, along with my entire family and community.

Who goes golfing after you just watched one of your supporters get blown away right in front of you

we joke but for real laughing at trump supporters and telling republicans how weird they are is actually a better strategy than wagging our fingers and moralizing at them. they do not care about morals, that doesn’t work— but no one likes to be laughed at
