1/ COVID revealing as many problems as it’s creating: lack of adequate healthcare system; lack of adequate investment in science and medical research; systemic economic injustice towards black Americans as well as indigenous peoples; lack of govt compassion in response to crisis

2/ It’s very important we remember those things, as there will be tremendous temptation to forget them once we get on the other side of this. The system will do everything it can to return to “normal;” we should never forget how dangerous that normal is to vast numbers of people.
