Surface rail with dedicated ROW *is* rapid transit. How is this a response to what Patrick proposes? And public opinion about "supply" has just simply more savvy about what "supply" really means—here it's for the privileged few while others are displaced. People are finally getting this.

Within each category there is one sub-category for trends over the most recent week (Trends) and one sub-category for current parameter values relative to a specified baseline (Current values). Trends and current values are weighted equally when determining the final score for a category.

Neurological Complications Associated With COVID-19 Compared to Other Viral Infections. Evidence shows COVID-19 has a distinct neurological impact, with higher rates and a wider range of complications than other viruses, from headaches and dizziness to outcomes like stroke, encephalopathy and GBS.

"How COVID can affect heart, even after an infection is gone" Research shows COVID affects the heart in multiple ways, raising the risk of heart attacks, strokes, heart muscle damage, and arrhythmias. While risk is highest soon after infection, studies show it can remain elevated for up to 3 years.

💯 Masking is a good litmus test for many things you'd want in a partner -science literacy -intelligence -empathy -community minded -values health > conformity -weirdly super cool
Tweet from Vivian @suchnerve

"also worth noting that i refuse to date nonmaskers, even if they swear they’d mask for me, because i simply don’t believe external motivation is sustainable. it’s not good enough to do something for me; you have to do it for yourself, because that means you’ll do it unsupervised."
