Finally, thank you to the doctors and nurses @asanteHS in Medford and those everywhere treating unvaccinated covid patients. The grace, compassion and dedication you show in treating them – those who leave themselves at risk and who are flooding our hospitals - is extraordinary.

In the past day, NYC had its heaviest 1-hr rainfall total in city history (1.94 inches), and Tennessee may have seen its heaviest 24-hour rainfall (17 inches), which led to deadly flooding. These events are in line w/ climate change-related trends in extreme precip events.
