People might not want to think about it but what we're seeing in the failed pandemic response is a really small version of what the climate crisis response will look like when all the coastal cities are becoming uninhabitable, the crops are all dead, the forests are all burning.

Dear CDC—🇬🇧@UKHSA requires not just 1 test but **2 negative** #COVID19 tests in order to exist isolation before 10 days. But somehow a 5 day exit with 0 negative test is okay in 🇺🇸? American exceptionalism does not apply to a pandemic virus.

p.s. Asymptomatic can still spread!🧵

Under @GovRonDeSantis, Floridians are missing work, losing wages, and getting sick without sufficient healthcare - Roads are backed up, emergency vehicles and school busses are blocked, all while he’s off attending private fundraisers for a potential presidential campaign.

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

Dear @CDCgov and @CDCDirector

You don't work for Delta Airlines.

You should not do what their CEO ask you to do.

This wasn't a health decision.

It was a political one.

You have made a serious mistake here.

If a CEO offers a member of Congress $5 to vote for a bill, it's considered a bribe – subject to severe punishment. If a CEO starts a Super-PAC, and raises millions for that member, it is perfectly legal. We must overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

Two-thirds of people who graduate from state schools have to take out loans—including Kate. We spoke earlier this year about the burden she’s still dealing with. President Biden can and must use his executive authority to #CancelStudentDebt and start righting this wrong.

Rest is essential to recover from Covid. Employers will cite the @CDCgov’s new 5-day isolation period and demand workers return to work; the policy was guided by industry. Expect chronic cases of #LongCovid to increase as a result of this premature forced exertion.

@ahandvanish ("Hannah Davis 🌈") wrote:

On average, neurological symptoms from #LongCovid don’t start in the acute phase, but 4-8 weeks later. (For about 1/3, they happen earlier).

If you are recovering from COVID, resting for longer than you think you need can help prevent severe forms of Long Covid. https://twitter.com/ahandvanish/status/1343293617914458112
