Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
You can browse data on the states with the weakest (and strongest) gun laws on @GiffordsCourage. The snapshot below makes me wonder why our academic organizations preaching #GunSafety continue to hold national conferences in many of these states @AmerAcadPeds @ACEPNow @SAEMonline
Our After Visit Summary for patients in the Emergency Department is riddled with hyperlinks.
But we print it out to give to them 😑🤦♂️🧐

It’s All About Trust: 90% of Danes trust their national health authorities & public decision makers, 86% of Danes have been vaccinated. USA vaccinations are lagging below 50% in many states & we may add another 100K deaths this this fall. ❤️🇩🇰🇺🇸 news.yahoo.com/why-denmark-b…

NEW: California created 44% of the nation's new jobs last month.
Our state is leading the way on economic recovery.

Tonight, California voted NO on the recall and YES to…
Science.
Women’s rights.
Immigrant rights.
The minimum wage.
The environment.
Our future.
We rejected cynicism and bigotry and chose hope and progress.
Thank you, California.
Thanks to SFUSD’s protocols, my 2nd grader is now out of school for 1 week despite being asymptomatic and with no clear understanding of how serious the exposure was and NO distance learning support.
Yet if we attended Oakland Public Schools, she’d be back tomorrow. 🧐
There are <10 children hospitalized across UCSF's hospitals either with COVID or because of COVID. There is NOT a pediatric surge in the bay area. Yet, SFUSD is calling a special meeting on 8/31 to further tighten COVID protocols. Not medically warranted.
#openschools
Still, even though it’s challenging to continue to work and homeschool, we all do our part to prevent spread. So we use the Abbot BinaxNOW tests before going anywhere masked. 😷
Negative.
As an added challenge, SFUSD’s “close contact” definition seems to have no relation to CDC. Most importantly, if kids are masked, you’re not close contacts by @CDCgov ; but for SFUSD, it seems more like any cumulative amount of time adding up to 15 minutes in a day. 🤯
Love it.
Delta Air Lines is raising health insurance premiums for unvaccinated employees by $200 a month to cover higher Covid costs cnb.cx/3zhsHOz
San Francisco public school families have been sorely left in the dark about quarantine and covid protocols. Now, unlike neighboring districts, our kids are forced to be out of school for otherwise low risk exposures, while other districts can do modified quarantine.
That is a big difference. It means a child in Oakland would return to school, masked and all, while the same child in San Francisco would stay home until day 8 after exposure.
So if the districts received financial support to return to in person, I’m struggling to see how some districts (@SFUnified) are allowed to throw their hands up and claim no resources relative to other districts that are essentially the same size (Oakland).
Hey @lopez4schools your district won’t allow our PTA to buy air purifiers for the tiny little ventilation-strapped bungalow school rooms at Rooftop.
Maybe consider changing that so the children and teachers can breath.

IU Health Academic Health Center current hospitalization data
Keep in mind Indiana is at about 50% vaccinated at this point. So if vaccines didn’t work, it should be equal numbers of vax and unvax hospitalized.
Vaccines clearly keep people out of the hospital.
Get the shot.
Anybody else wonder if this requirement could have an unintended effect? Our amazing outdoor dining spots become “hotbeds” for the unvaccinated since they can’t go indoors…? Weren’t not preventing unvaxxed from dining, we’re just keeping them outdoors where our kids are eating
BREAKING: San Francisco will be the first city in the country to require proof of full vaccination for many indoor activities including visiting gyms, restaurants and bars. Story from @TrishaThadani. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…
