itโ€™s a stark reminder that people w/ money have a completely different healthcare experience. her Dr did tests that were not โ€œtechnicallyโ€ necessary bc she isnโ€™t at risk & found cancer. went from diagnosis to treatment/surgery in months. a poor woman would probably just die.

This post from Olivia Munn is such a stark reminder ladies of why we need to be a lot more proactive about breast cancer. Munn tested negative for any of the genes known to be associated with increased risk. But a risk assessment score led to a biopsy, which led to a diagnosis.

Are you suggesting we mask in *gasp* perpetuity?! I mean yeah, I'm suggesting that now that you know better you should do better for as long as that takes, even if it's *gasp* forever because protecting vulnerable folks is the morally correct thing to do for the rest of time

it cannot be said enough LONG COVID IS NOT JUST ONE THING!! managing symptoms & syndromes & things you didnโ€™t even know could be wrong is spinning plates, but the plates are on fire and you are on fire and every time you go outside someone tries to throw another plate at you

@CoraCHarrington The price of restoring "normality" while a sustained pandemic continues to rage is the implicitly granting of a social permission structure enabling people to actively harm others without consequence. That has removed filters and restraints from many people.
