Impact of Covid goes so far beyond death count. Spent morning with friend who is world class athlete, holds records in xc skiing & biking. She got Covid in March, still has lingering issues. Never went to hospital, would not show up in admitted stat. But huge impact on her life.

We've fought a nearly year-long battle with COVID-19, but President-elect Biden reminds us that we're at war with a virus--not each other.

Our frontline workers are American heroes. It is not enough to just praise them, we have to listen to them and pay them.

The Biden-Harris administration will listen to frontline workers and will lead by their example to combat this pandemic. pic.twitter.com/sCzXfJRQj2

3) Folks- our healthcare workers did NOT sign up for a pandemic with no national or limited state leadership to stop it. They can’t do this forever. National strikes of HCW might start if we don’t stop this soon. https://t.co/Ey1bcn6Gv2

BREAKING—“Essential” workers will likely get vaccine first, ahead of the elderly. Where are 87 mil essential workers? Besides healthcare:

Doctors say CDC should warn people the side effects from Covid vaccine shots won’t be ‘a walk in the park’

By Berkeley Lovelace Jr. @ CNBC.com, Nov. 24

Key points:

The CDC must be transparent about the side effects people may experience after getting their first shot of a coronavirus vaccine, doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors.

Dr. Sandra Fryhofer said that both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses and she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of potentially unpleasant side effects after the first shot.

Both companies acknowledged that their vaccines could induce side effects that are similar to symptoms associated with mild Covid-19, such as muscle pain, chills and headache.

Understanding the risks and acting accordingly requires owning the problem. All the approaches making it about something else are stupid.
