I discovered most of my family and friends haven’t been tested for Covid 19. I get tested weekly. @nolaready Here in NOLA the testing is available daily. People don’t understand that is our most powerful weapon to stop this. Mass testing. It stops the virus & opens up society
Wearing mask, adhering to social distancing, mass testing, and contact tracing not only stops the spread but allows for the society and businesses to open up more. The ignorance of opening up without the protocols that protect us is suicidal. The common good has to take precedent
The capacity of 25% has allowed me to see my city as I rarely get to: canoeing on Bayou St. John, an okra lunch at Sassafras, the quietness of a mostly empty church early on Sunday morning, a solo tour of the 1850 House, the quiet of the old cypress swamp in the Lower 9th Ward
I get tested weekly. It takes 5 minutes. Resources have been allocated for free food and services that I usually bring to my 95yr old father. The Munch Factory & Café Dauphine supplied hundreds of meals this week and Second Harvest has never been more impactful. Support them all
I live in London but being home in New Orleans for the isolation has been revelatory & therapeutic. Close to my father & reflective on life. I ask that we think of the common good for once here in America. A mask is not a political statement. Wearing one is an act of kindness
