Why Should Healthy People Have To Share The Responsibility For Keeping Other People Healthy? Especially People Who Are Inherently Harder To Keep Healthy? It’s Not Fair.
A child undergoing chemotherapy. It's just not fair to ask anyone in a hospital to wear a respirator to reduce the risk of that child catching Covid. It would be an infringement on their natural freedoms and an encumbrance on their very soul. Headline: Why Should Healthy People Have To Share The Responsibility For Keeping Other People Healthy?

So yours was the only masked face at the office and in the store on the subway and in the waiting room at least now you know the answer to your teacher’s question of if you would be willing to do the right thing even if you were the only one doing it.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: A bipartisan bill has been introduced that would block members of Congress from getting paid if the U.S. enters debt default or if the government shuts down. The No Pay for Congress During Default or Shutdown Act, introduced by Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), would withhold lawmakers' pay for the duration of a debt limit breach or lapse in federal funding, an attempt to motivate legislators to prevent either situation. The bill comes amid growing fears that Republicans will not agree to meet the June 1 deadline set by the Treasury Department to raise the debt limit and risk a catastrophic default on U.S. obligations. “Lawmakers should not be rewarded with our salaries until we do our jobs," Spanberger said. What are your thoughts? Should it pass?

I’ve often thought "big" pandemics as revealing systemic things that are missing, or poorly done. The obvious one in the case of COVID-19 is "clean air". Clean water and clean surfaces are well-established basic sanitation measures. Why not clean air, too?

We might be, we could be on the verge of enhancing air quality for us all. Important that this is available & accessible for all. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Just published an op-ed in @thenation on the heels of the reintroduction of #MedicareForAll. While we work towards a public healthcare system for everyone, we can’t let corporations take over Medicare. We want #M4A, not Medicare (Dis)advantage for all. thenation.com/article/politi…

Once corporations privatize every inch of the public provision of health care, we may never get Medicare back.
