I am a f*****g doctor. I lead a health clinic in East Austin and treat #COVID19 patients.
America is out of its mind thinking we are even remotely prepared for school this fall. We are definitely NOT ready & if people say we are, it's either out of ignorance or arrogance. (1/x)

How's it going to go this fall when one student has symptoms and it takes 14 days for their #COVID swab to result?
What about in flu season? We're short on reagents & swabs now, and we'll need double the supply this fall. (2/x)

Parents who stay home who develop symptoms? Do they not get high priority access to rapid testing? Because when stay-at-home dad has a fever, waiting one week for test results does nothing for his 3 young children & their school. (3/x)
Americans do NOT have access to care.
Americans do NOT have the $$ to pay for testing & treatment.
And, our states by and large are still not prepared for massive contact tracing. (4/x)

And all of this comes down to the absolute disregard for life by this administration & its enablers.
All of this performative crap about caring for "life" but really, whether its gun violence, COVID, or poverty, it just doesn't matter to this President and his leadership. (5/x)

Every damn politician in charge of a state with continued spiking #COVID cases and delays in testing + tracing should resign.
You have failed your constituents. (6/x)

Our nation continues to struggle because we frame every issue by politics. We leave no room for nuance. No room for reasoned debate. Purity tests abound.
And therefore, we end up with feckless leaders who know not one damn thing about collaboration & execution. (7/x)

That, my friends, is my rant for tonight.
Sincerely,
A #COVID19 doctor, father, husband, and former congressional candidate angry after six months of fighting a pandemic that we could have prevented.
