Kidney and pancreas transplant recipient who is immensely grateful to someone who chose to be an organ donor.
Immunocompromised so I really appreciate it when people mask in public spaces.

First day I am feeling well enough to go out and walk around. Went to the mall to wander. I was the only one masked.
Ran into a woman in a store. Who saw me masked and said, "Oh, I guess I should be masked but I left it in the car. I just tested positive the other day, but it's only a cold."
WTF. Immediately ran back home. I'm never going out again. I swear.
When Scott Brick showed me how he does the Bene Gesserit voice for "Dune," I was blown away. I knew it was going to be the best clip from the show and possibly the best clip I'll ever get for any show in my whole life.

This is one of the better ones I have seen.
I refuse to ever accept The Peekaboo Model of U.S. public health response.
“If we close our eyes to it, it disappears,” can’t seriously be tolerated or sufficient.
Stephen Miller and Donald Trump have promised to deport 15 million people. Miller himself compared their plan's scope to the construction of the Panama Canal, and its ruthlessness to Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
They couldn’t be any clearer about what they intend.
Some flawed "research" suggesting masks don't work circulated last week. This new STUDY tells the truth:
1. #COVID19 and other respiratory pathogens have airborne transmission.
2. Masks are, if correctly and consistently worn, effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases and show a dose-response effect.
3. Respirators are significantly more effective than medical or cloth masks.
4. Mask mandates are effective in reducing community transmission.
Duh!
