It's not as bright this morning & the weekend is going to be cold, overnights in the low 20s. Looks like next weekend is going to do the same. I know it's February, but I'm sick of the cold. Today would've been my mother's birthday. She was born on the same day as Lincoln. When I was little, both Lincoln & Washington's birthdays were on the Calendar, now there's just President's Day.
There are constantly articles about disparities between the medical situations of the mainstream population & other groups, especially those based on ethnicity, race, religion, ideology or socioeconomic class. For some poor people, medical attention may be difficult to access or afford. For the rest, it's something else.
Most often these articles refer to Black people. I'm sure they have their reasons for avoiding conversations or treatment for HIV, COVID & other things. The point is, it doesn't matter. Without education, prevention, conversation & treatment these people are going to continue to be disproportionately affected by these illnesses. There's nothing anyone outside this community can do about it. At this point, this is their fight.
That's all for no, take care.
Cya...
