Many people refuse to understand that re: policing and prisons this has been a multi-generational BIPARTISAN project. Not coming to terms with this means that you don't have a correct assessment of current conditions.

Yikes. They finally found a cause for this and it's that Covid reactivates mono (Epstein-Barr). The combo is acute mono before Covid, then any kind of #Covid (mild, etc). Immune system "goes haywire" Also, I didn't realize how terrifying/awful MIS-C is. These poor kids 😢

The idea that Democrats need to "move to the center on policing" is ridiculous. They are basically on the right on this ALREADY. Have you paid attention??????

Today, not long after 3:00 PM, the US Senate will vote on a motion to invoke cloture on a transgender sports ban applying to youth and sports from dancing to darts and evenChess. If 7 Democrats flip on this motion, we will likely get a national sports ban in the US. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS!

Up to 25% -- 1 in 4. Date range of study: March 2022-Oct 2023, up to date vaccinations. Finally a good look at asymptomatic transmission. Asymptomatic is one reason we were told in the US to mask circa Aug 2020 (source: NYT). Next we need to find out any #LongCovid burden here.
