What if I want to hug the people I love? I want to sing. I want to see musicians performing live. I want to go dancing again. I want to see people smiling. I want to meet strangers and shake their hands.

Man cannot live by being encouraged only to protest and run marathons. https://twitter.com/mayorofla/status/1335377289459077120

You don’t have a consistent plan. And you don’t communicate scientifically. And you’re not honest about what this is doing to our kids in terms of risks and costs.

I’ll wear a mask and follow the law if you bring us a high agency science based plan. Or Is that asking too much?

When do we start attacking ICU capacity? What’s the plan for getting our kids back into schools? When do our teenagers start flirting in person again? How are we balancing costs and risks? Who are we making homeless?

Can you talk facts like a leader who understands this virus?

Or should I just run a marathon and fight racism if I want to be connected to other souls?

You might consider whether you are really cut out for leadership. I know I’m not meant to be mayor. It just doesn’t seem like my skillset. No shame in admitting you are in over your head..

NOTE ADDED TO THREAD: notice responses & quote tweets assuming that I don’t understand that we’re all connected. Why? Because no one is listening. Bad Public Health is not good for Public Health. People will *die* from avoidance of leadership. I’m calling for logical leadership.

I called for masks when our leaders told us not to wear them. I call for science and logic and leadership when our leaders give us bullshit Public Health speak. Cut the corporate gobbledygook.

TLDR: Just treat COVID as a matter of life and death to stop the lying & posturing.
