The 1918-1920 flu pandemic came in three major waves. After the first wave in the US, the virus subsided, and Americans were restless to have businesses reopene...d and for social life to resume. There was a growing movement to stop wearing masks, which had become ubiquitous - so much so that The Anti-Mask League of 1919 was formed. These were protests from those who thought the public health ordinance violated their liberty. The virus came back with a vengeance in the fall and was much deadlier than the first wave, eventually killing more than 675,000 Americans and killing around 100 million of the 500 million it infected worldwide before it was over. This was before mass vaccination, before the electron microscope; this is the tragedy of herd immunity and stubborn ignorance. Viruses aren't political; they don't care about your theories or speculations or projections. They're unthinking parasites only wanting to replicate and use your body as a host. Wear a mask.

I’ve been trying to warn people...btw the family cat and other dog tested negative. Two adults and a child also tested positive. The Other Animals

We’ve been talking about this for a year on the radio show The Other Animals . The US animal farm factories are feeding you garbage meat from tortured animals that will kill us from antibiotic resistance. They are far worse than the asian wet markets. Stop supporting terrible chain restaurants and grocers that use this. Otherwise it won’t be long before we all start dying from previously simple infections. Find a small local organic farm to support.

A message from José Andrés! Today we are in Baltimore at Orioles stadium distributing 25,000 meals! Thank you Mayor Young & your amazing team. We will be back here every Saturday and at schools Weds & Fri! #ChefsForAmerica

Help feed people in need if you can. Donate on the site here or wck.org

Temple University Hospital converted Boyer Pavilion into its COVID-19 hospital. This is what it's like inside.

KEEP YOUR CATS INDOORS. IF SOMEONE IN YOUR HOUSE GETS SICK ISOLATE THE CAT TOO. NOT GOOD NEWS.

Maybe instead of calling it SOCIAL DISTANCING tell people it’s being ANTI-SOCIALISM (maybe that will work ! )
