Public Health Apartheid From The Left And The Right


Working in public health and in messaging in particular, I have been watching this push in messaging from "we" to "me."

Articles and memes that speak of the issues began popping up. As time inches forward we can't forget all the big systemic changes that were made overnight to bail out and shore up the most privileged of society. And we must not leave our most vulnerable behind as the virus continues its course across the globe. We are all interconnected. "Now is  t he time to imagine a better world" "NOT BACK TO NORMAL FORWARD TO BETTER! consider this to be your friendly reminder that even if your feed is back to 'normal' we should not go back to normal.
