Ford could have listened to public health experts, mayors, and workers urgently calling for #paidsickdays to stop the #COVID19 spread, but instead he keeps making the same mistakes again & again. We need paid sick days to stop the spread, and give folks the help & hope they need.

Sharing this one again. For no other reason than it was a very cathartic talk for me and maybe it'll help anyone who's feeling a little burned out know that they aren't in this alone. It's *barely* an #a11y talk, it's about recognizing and avoiding bad habits and choices.
