Lydia Polgreen gets it spot-on in the New York Times. We have a crisis of nurse vacancies in the United States and there can be no surprise: chronic understaffing and leadership inattention to unsafe, unsupported working conditions. The solutions are right in front of us. Will leaders have moral courage to adopt them? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/18/opinion/nurses-strike-pay-staffing-ratios.html
If you are the kind who says, “You know, I'd mask on flights if WHO or the CDC said I should,” I guess you can now start masking on flights.

Hi there! Sending a friendly reminder to schedule your cancer screenings. In the past couple weeks I have 3 people I know personally newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one who is only 43 with zero family history.
Remember that catching things early usually leads to a much better prognosis. Stay health friends!

As a result, 3 seniors (all 75+ with risk factors) tested +. All symptomatic
but did ok bc they had BOTH omicron booster and access to pax.
This is very important bc we lost tools (monoclonals and evushield) this week so…
Lesson:
get your seniors boosted & have a pax plan!
