when you are ready, I think you—all of you—need to read this. https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/1248586552483164160
TL;DR:
"...there is no normal for the foreseeable future. Until there’s a vaccine, we either need economically ruinous levels of social distancing, a digital surveillance state of shocking size and scope, or a mass testing apparatus of even more shocking size and intrusiveness."

this is the kind of reality I've wanted to impress upon people in my life, but a lot of folks either aren't mentally ready or just don't get it? I don't know. everyone copes differently. but we have to accept the reality/scope of what we're dealing with to act appropriately.
and part of me wanting to constantly make others understand is this fear I have about the Texas government and my employer sending us back to work way too early—and the disastrous consequences that would come from that. so I guess my anxiety just *needs* people to understand.
my anxiety has manifested into DEEPLY. NEEDING. more people to understand in hopes that somehow this increases our chances of ensuring decision makers act appropriately.
and yet.

anyway! that's just a peak inside my mental state and also why, if you've communicated with me at all since March, you've heard me mention "testing" a million times! well, bye! 
peak... yeah, I meant peek. piss off.
just want to add this thread from Chris Hayes to mine, cause he's saying the same thing and he's also one of the first people on this bird app that awakened me to the REAL reality. https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1248637229171380224
