With Delta, we saw that for every 4 deaths from COVID, a child lost a parent or caregiver — and losses were greatest for children of color. We expect the numbers to be even higher with Omicron. (3/5)

Tragically, we've all become numb to Covid's death toll. Sometimes it takes a tangible comparison to shake us out of complacency. I had such a moment today, when Covid deaths in the U.S. hit 875,000. That, as it happens, is the population of my city, San Francisco. Staggering.

We’re social creatures, we depend on each other, which is why we need a sense of concern for others’ well-being. Compassion is what’s important and you don’t have to be religious to practise it. Practising compassion here and now—living a meaningful life—is what is most important
