National Fast Food Day – 11/16/22

Masks work

I always wear one when I am inside somewhere other than my house.

1/ I'm tired of hearing the contrarians talking about how masks don't work as protective devices against respiratory diseases as our nation's pediatric hospitals are full of children sick with RSV/Flu and COVID continues to be the 3rd leading cause of death. A thread.🧵

Last fall 5% of kids in 🇨🇦 had been infected w CoVID.

We stopped wearing masks.

Now 80% of kids have been infected.

Flu & RSV are now so severe that kids are missing school, kid's medicines are sold out & kids ICUs are overun.

Mass infection did that.

To our kids.

Covers: Let Me In

“Let Me In” by the Sensations from 1961 was covered by Bonnie Raitt in 1973.

Two great websites on music covers

I post a lot about music covers. Two great sources of information are:

SecondHandSongs

Cover Me

They are both on Twitter, too.

The Biden administration should have been prepared for the student loan court decision

You knew that Republican judges would do this.

The Biden administration should have anticipated what Republican judges would do and had something ready when the court decision was announced. This is also true of the Supreme Court abortion decision.
