@unchartedworlds this is a great quote about the shortcomings of awareness. often it isn't enough because it indicates some kind of marginalization that is harmful.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: De Giovanni a La Confessione di Gomez (Rai3): “Cazzullo su Sal Da Vinci e la camorra? Ha sbagliato, è come se io scherzassi sul Covid a Bergamo”“Aldo Cazzullo su Sal Da Vinci e i matrimoni della camorra? Ha fatto una battuta sbagliata”. Così Maurizio De Giovanni a La Confessione di Peter Gomez, in onda sabato 14 marzo alle 20.20 su Rai 3, sulla canzone che ha vinto a Sanremo, ‘Per sempre sì’ e la polemica scatenata dal commento di Aldo Cazzullo sul Corriere della Sera. “Cazzullo è un meraviglioso intellettuale – ha premsso lo scrittori di tanti bestseller, dal Commissario Ricciardi ai Bastardi di Pizzofalcone – Noi forse siamo ipersensibili, ma parlare di camorra a Napoli è una cosa seria, non è uno scherzo, non è folklore. – ha proseguito l’autore napoletano – E’ una battuta uscita male, come se io facessi una battuta sul Covid a Bergamo. E’ un richiamare un dolore, è richiamare una ferita”.L'articolo De Giovanni a La Confessione di Gomez (Rai3): “Cazzullo su Sal Da Vinci e la camorra? Ha sbagliato, è come se io scherzassi sul Covid a Bergamo” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.From De Giovanni to La Confessione di Gomez (Rai3): “Is Cazzullo talking about Sal Da Vinci and the Camorra? He messed up, it’s like I’m making fun of the Covid in Bergamo.”Aldo Cazzullo on Sal Da Vinci and the Camorra marriages? He made a wrong joke. That’s what Maurizio De Giovanni said to La Confessione di Peter Gomez, broadcast on Saturday, March 14th at 8:20 PM on Rai 3, about the song that won at Sanremo, ‘Per Sempre Sì,’ and the controversy sparked by Aldo Cazzullo’s comment in the Corriere della Sera. “Cazzullo is a wonderful intellectual – a writer of many bestselling novels, from Commissario Ricciardi to I Bastardi di Pizzofalcone – We are perhaps hypersensitive, but talking about the Camorra in Naples is a serious thing, it’s not a joke, it’s not folklore. – continued the Neapolitan author – It’s a joke that went wrong, as if I were making a joke about Covid in Bergamo. It’s a reference to pain, it’s a reference to a wound.”The article De Giovanni on La Confessione di Gomez (Rai3): “Cazzullo on Sal Da Vinci and the Camorra?

This is the absolute worst time to have the most awful people in charge of public health. To be fair, Biden let us down to start with: gave in to pressure for profit. When banks made catastrophic terrible decisions in 2008, we had hundreds of billions to bail them out. When poor people needed healthcare and protection from COVID, it was important to take our lumps and get back to work.Sorry for the substack link, but now they're literally deleting data on #COVID so we can't even know what happened.People will still die. Turning off the measurement doesn't mean they don't die.#uspol https://substack.com/home/post/p-189896661

Scotland's outlier is Dumfries & Galloway on 5.1%.Over the border, Cumbria, York, and North Yorkshire are all showing a rise, surrounded by areas not reporting.Anywhere north of Sheffield (also reporting a rise) is uncertain.5/5

While I'm aware of charitable and mutual aid orga that make masks available, those can require more effort the increased friction matters. It's awful timing to say, but a kind of SNAP program for masks and other public health supplies could really improve participation. Here in Ontario it would have been great for OHIP to cover masks obtained at pharmacies.I'm grateful to all the service staff who still mask Tipping is what I can offer them but that only goes so far#COVID #COVIDIsNotOver

@Njord Oop, I misread the question and picked the wrong option. I wore cloth masks because it was all I could find. N95s were sold out. Also, back then we were led to believe cloth masks were good enough.
