I wanted to, um, make sure
that the seizure was a one-and-done,
before I head home, take 10 scalding hot showers,
and hug up on everybody.
Um, Maggie says that his numbers are holding.
Good. Thanks.

I don't know if you were ignoring me
when I came by the house
or -- or if you were just too sick to answer,
but I-I'm -- I'm gonna go with too sick
'cause then -- then maybe there's a-a ray of hope for us,
which I could really use right now,
and I know you could.
You know, I'm -- I'm gonna stop asking.
I'm just gonna decide.
I-I'm deciding that we mean enough to each other
that, even though I hurt you and I-I...
I hurt you more than I could ever imagine,
that a repair could be made, that...
maybe you could remember
some of the things that you don't hate about me
and we --- we could salvage our friendship because...
I don't know how we're going to get through this pandemic,
but I do know -- I do know
that we're not going to get through it alone.
So if you want to have nothing to do with me,
then you are just going to have to get all better
and tell me yourself,
because until I hear you say the words,
you're not gonna get rid of me.

You realize half of our COVID patients are Black and brown?
I know.
In a city that's 7% Black?
Like, how does that even compute?
It doesn't.
If I hear one more person blame it on pre-existing conditions
as if the conditions aren't manmade to begin with...
Like we're not pushed into the front line of all of our jobs
and forced to live in overcrowded situations,
surrounded by environmental hazards.
Yeah, people want
to make everything bad that happens your own fault.
Yeah, when systemic racism is the root
of the whole damn thing. Forget the pre-,
it's the existing condition.
