Happy #LovingDay ! The day commemorates the June 12, 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia, declaring a Virginia law prohibiting mixed-race marriage unconstitutional — and thus legalizing interracial marriage in every state.

Proud of new paper in @JAMACardio today 1/4 of adults 36-64 yrs (31 million) are low SES- they have 2x risk of dying of heart disease vs higher SES Excess smoking, obesity, HTN, diabetes explain <half, suggesting important to focus on upstream poverty

“I feel my throat tightening. It’s not the coronavirus or smoke. It’s rage—rage radiating up from my belly & my heart. We’re trapped inside because of the pandemic & because of the fires, but ultimately we are most confined by inequality, selfishness, & greed that created this”🔥

Great read, with practical advice from very smart people (including our own @UCSF @UCSF_Epibiostat @pvolberding ) on how they manage coronavirus risk in their own lives How Fauci, 5 other health specialists deal with covid-19 risks in their everyday lives

@ASlavitt Universal booster, regardless of first dose, would make things much easier for implementation. Need to see the science first, of course.
