1/7. This has been one of those weeks where there has been so much to do, but I've struggled to find the motivation to do those things. It's not just exhaustion from the semester (though there is that). It's also the...overwhelming disappointment in us.
2/7. Ove 2,700 people dead in one day, a death toll experts are expecting to get worse. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/12/02/world/covid-19-coronavirus?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur#its-terrible-because-it-was-avoidable-us-virus-deaths-have-passed-the-spring-peak
3/7. Healthcare workers are on the verge collapse trying to keep folks alive, (via @edyong209) https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/11/third-surge-breaking-healthcare-workers/617091/
4/7. struggling through what's now being called Covid Combat Fatigue as they do it. (via @KatherineJWu) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/25/health/doctors-nurses-covid-stress.html
5/7. The people working behind the scenes running our tests are also burning out and getting repetitive-stress injures trying to keep up with the testing from the spike in infections (via @KatherineJWu again). https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/03/health/coronavirus-testing-labs-workers.html
6/7. In February and March I could understand things like this; we didn't really know better. Now, we know a lot...we just don't care. We've decided, as a nation, that those lives don't matter. That we can just continue going on with life as so many around us die unnecessarily.
7/7. This isn't one of my threads that ends positively. Again, I'm disappointed that we let things get this bad. And yes, I chose 'we/us' intentionally because even if it isn't 'my/your' fault specifically, it is *our* collective problem to solve. We need to get our shit together
