I wrote this after reading about a mother who killed her young children, and then herself, less than 24 hours after talking with a mental health professional who'd asked her if she had thoughts of harming herself. She'd said no.

Yes, worth paying extra for 1st & 2nd editions. The sense of the author(s) grappling to clarify psychopathology & noticing, as you read, how concepts have evolved is highly educational and intriguing. Open at any page for a new adventure.

A younger colleague's report of persistent symptoms after a mild bout with Covid-19 alerted me to the growing number of people with persistent neuro and other symptoms. A good reason for people who may have dismissed their risk to put those masks back on. abc7chicago.com/health/covid…

What to do about the pandemic and the economy? Opinions abound: speculative, hypothetical, scientific, publicity seeking, some really want to help. But we did all the experiments already. Results: Red, Yellow, Green Zones. Look. Results are available pointing to the way to act.

Police as an external force is not sustainable.
Policing of a community must be done by members of a community.

In a tearful speech, Gov. @DougBurgum (R-ND) asks residents to skip the “ideological and political” debate on face masks.

This picture, shared by @axios, is heartbreaking.
Gavin Roberts, 10, at the funeral of his dad, Charles “Rob” Roberts, a New Jersey police officer who died after contacting COVID-19 while on duty protecting others.
The dad’s sacrifice was heroic.
The boy’s? Incalculable.

BREAKING: PETA's investigation shows live-animal markets are STILL OPERATING in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, & Thailand 😡
It's filthy environments like these in which diseases like #COVID19 originate. Urge @WHO to shut them down: peta.asia/kk

Unfortunate that it took a pandemic for people to realize that our mental health system is "vastly underfunded, fragmented and difficult to access." Now can we find the motivation to fix that? washingtonpost.com/health/20…

The median voter won’t die of Russian roulette but I doubt most people would wish to play it.

This is a a very obvious point and has been obvious from the beginning but as the global picture fills in over time, there is *absolutely* no fricking way China only had 3300 fatalities from this virus.

Rest in Peace, real heroes.
And criminal neglect by risk-blind "evidence based" bureaucrats.
And, friends, in the meanwhile, wear a mask.
Again, than you all the Dr Chowdhurys.
Dr Abdul Chowdhury 💙 has died of #coronavirus 3wks after he asked to @BorisJohnson to "ensure #PPE for every NHS worker... who are in direct contact with patients & have a human right like others to live in this world disease-free with our family & children". #saytheirnames

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATTHEW!
Excited to share this story with you at 5. Matthew Brace's mother needed to cancel his 17th birthday party, which is today. The boy living with autism loves police cars and fire trucks.
Mom called Bethel Park police on a whim, and boy did they respond.

The movement to adopt universal face masks--even home-made--gains cache, for good reason:
