Throughout the pandemic, @UCSF has been showing the world how to get things done. (Contrast this testing program with other misleading studies--I& #39;m looking at you @Stanford.) Also, I could not have made it this far into the pandemic without the tweet threads from @Bob_Wachter

I also looked at the difficult choices Black men must make when trying to follow health guidelines like masking. @RepKamBuckner, attorney + State Rep., was told by police he looked suspicious while shopping. He was buying flowers to plant in his yard. https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/03/which-deamany-black-men-fear-wearing-mask-more-than-coronavirus/">https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/0...

I also wrote about how those with #sicklecell are trying to manage pain and racism, avoid ERs and stay alive. The isolation, worry, and fear of early death the pandemic brought us all is just normal life for those with sickle cell. https://www.statnews.com/2020/09/17/sickle-cell-treatment-covid19-pandemic/">https://www.statnews.com/2020/09/1...

I& #39;ve been honored to write about these communities and sadly, feel like I& #39;ve just scratched the surface in terms of the pain and loss felt by so many. I hope I will soon be able to write about how some of these communities, and all of us, are recovering. Please stay safe.
