Heard a crushing story today from one of our social workers that reminds me how awful we've let our senior isolation problem become:
Tony, our firsthander, was taking an individual to a doctors appointment and on the ride home asking them if they needed to go anywhere else.

As a gift to yourself, your loved ones and your community this holiday season, I am BEGGING you to wear masks, so that fewer people have to wear hardware like this, as I have been. (It’s much harder to wear than a mask!!) And I am REALLY begging govt offials to create mandates.

Here’s what Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo knew when she took office in 2014:
It wasn’t the hills, weather or culture that was preventing Parisians from cycling; it was a lack of safe infrastructure.
With that revelation—and some immense courage—she has unleashed a revolution in the city. – at Paris, France

An increase in severe respiratory infections this season is putting pressure on Oregon’s already-strained hospitals as the holidays approach.
Here’s how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from circulating viruses, including RSV: ow.ly/opb350LIJbz

Contact health provider before you visit an urgent care or hospital. Or call 211 for help finding one.

I’m excited to announce the availability of one of the first elements of the vision for building the best-in-class experience for the D/HH in Teams. This new experience was driven by and with the members of the community. We’re just getting started. Lots of goodness to come.
Introducing sign language view, a new meeting experience in #MicrosoftTeams designed for the Deaf/hard-of-hearing community to keep interpreters and other signers front and center on calls.

“The user is not like me”—this mantra from @cmuhcii reminds me to always build from our users’ needs.

In the meantime, we *know* that mitigations work against the viruses that are leading to kids becoming very ill and pediatric hospitals being overwhelmed. Whatever the explanation, the right thing to do *right now* is to reduce transmission of these viruses in children. #MaskUp
