And the ending of the world as we know it might also mean the end to structural racism, the end to old people being cut out of health system, the end to nursing homes that aren't like homes but are more like prisons.
So think of this not as, you know, in the song they talk about all sorts of things that are wrong also.
But every time we're seeing things that are wrong, it's an opportunity to do it differently.
And one of the most fascinating things about COVID was how quickly health institutions pivoted and changed all their priorities, services, and funds flow.
So we used to say it couldn't be done.
We watched them do it in a matter of weeks.
So if they don't do it to make for a better health care system so that we actually have a healthy populace, that is a decision they are making largely for their own profits and comfort rather than for the health of the populace.
We know they can do it.
They should do it.
Well, I keep saying in San Francisco that so far we have killed more people with our COVID policy than have died from the virus among older adults.
And that doesn't even include the harms done.
The harms we can't even calculate because we can't get to many of these people.

It was all ready to go.
It was actually approved on one day and then the surge started and it was revoked the next day.
We have activities, approvals.
that are about ready to roll out.
We can all make a difference on these things.
But we also have to explain how important this is.
And people who are in charge of this are generally seeing everything just through an infectious disease lens or an internal medicine lens.
