We'd like COVID testing and tracing again. Also RATs. Also vaccination mandates for schools. Also freely and readily available N95 masks. And ventilation standards, incentives, and rebates.

The thing that is hardest for people to confront is that white identity itself is a racist construct. There is no white identity independent of structural racism. Whiteness has no meaning independent of racism, predominantly white spaces are a form of structural racism.

New study showing that always wearing a good mask (respirator: N95,KN95) in indoor public settings is associated with much lower odds of Covid test. Real-world evidence confirms basic principles and lab studies. washingtonpost.com/health/20… comments from @jljcolorado and me
