Thank you @billmaher + @RealTimers for having me on.

@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers If covid didn't push ERs and hospitals to the brink, I'd be on board. But it has. And it is. How can we ignore that?
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers With all due respect, you may be tired of the pandemic. But for those who have lost loved ones, I'm sure they are over it too. However, they will suffer from this for the rest of their lives.
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers Good conversation, but it's clear that for both you and Bill, your COVID fatigue is affecting your judgment.
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers But nearly 13,000 Americans died over the last three days. I think schools should be open but ignoring the pandemic is not the answer. If 90%+ Americans were vaccinated we wouldn’t have full hospitals and this death rate.
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers Oh. You’re over it? Must be nice. I’m triple vax’d. Immune compromised since 19. I’m 42. If I get it, I’m almost 500 times more likely to be hospitalized or die. My life’s been very hard for 23 years, now it’s terrifying. But I guess I’m one of the acceptable losses.
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers So sorry that you're "done with COVID". I work with children with significant complex medical needs. I bet their parents wish they could be done with COVID too. But do go on, complaining that you are asked to wear a mask so that you don't potentially kill someone else.
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers Thank you to our health care workers, because they don’t have the luxury of saying they are done with covid.
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers Ms. Weiss, I understand your frustration about Covid. However, there's proof that masks do slow the spread of COVID. Personally, I prefer to wear a mask because it keeps me safer & it keeps people I come in contact safer. Wearing a mask is the least we can do + vaccinations.
@bariweiss @billmaher @RealTimers We're all worn out by COVID and restrictions, but COVID killed 13,000 Americans this week. Public figures going on TV and telling people masks and social distancing don't work (which is inaccurate) are only extending this pandemic for all of us.
