Policymakers and employers need to recognize that we're a nation of caregivers fast or more workers will need to leave their job to care for their families, stop saving for retirement, and go into debt. finance.yahoo.com/news/us-americ…

This is at the heart of so much that is wrong with the US public health system - or lack thereof Medicine is not itself public health But good public health makes medicine less necessary overall It’s been backwards for too long The abysmal response to COVID was just a symptom

“The US has a long history of granting primacy to private medicine and neglecting public health. In the years preceding the pandemic, less than 3% of the US $3.6T total annual health care bill was spent on public health. We need to correct this imbalance” nytimes.com/2023/05/11/opi…

Historic day. For 40 years we've been saddled with bare minimum ventilation standards that were not designed for health. Today, CDC released the 1st ever federal guidance on higher ventilation standards, and ASHRAE also released a doc for public comment🧵 cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

If you HAVE to use an insult, at least use one that is really fun to say.

What is a word you are brave enough to admit that you mispronounced for way too long? Ours may or may not be 'epitome.' Phew, that feels good to finally say out loud...

#OTD in 1993, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum was dedicated in DC. Thirty years later, antisemitism is on the rise and some people still deny the Holocaust. Just as they deny their antisemitism. Just as they deny racism. Denial is dangerous. For Jewish people. For us all.
