A recent study indicates recovered COVID patients experience notable cognitive declines. Those hospitalized and placed on ventilators had a nearly 0.5 SD score drop on an intelligence test (7-pt IQ drop). Even those with mild cases demonstrated a (statistically) significant drop.

WCK’s Chef Alejandro reporting in from our kitchen in Lake Charles, Louisiana! We are grateful to @LAubergeLC for opening their doors to our team — today we are cooking up fresh Jambalaya with salad & fruit for 10,000 people recovering from Hurricane #Laura 😋

For dinner, our WCK team delivered hot meals to the Napa County Sheriff & Lake Shastina @Cal_OES strike teams. They informed us of a small group of residents allowed to stay in the evacuated zone, but have no power or running water. So we will now bring them fresh meals as well!

In Beirut, Lebanon, our Relief Team is now serving thousands of meals each day to 17 different locations. Included in our deliveries is fresh meals for the Beirut Fire Department working hard following the explosion. #ChefsForBeirut

#BlackLivesMatter Protests in Puerto Rico are already escalating.

24 hours after the Puerto Rico Governor signed a new civil code into law, in the middle of a pandemic, people are protesting as protests take place in the US. In Puerto Rico, someone constructed a guillotine and delivered it to the governors mansion.

NEVER FORGET Kalief Browder. A young black man who sat on Rikers Island for 3 YEARS without trial for a backpack he DIDN’T steal. He committed suicide after spending two yrs in solitary confinement. 730 days alone.

I want to share a quote from journalist Roxane Gay: Eventually doctors will find a vaccine but black people will continue to wait for a cure for racism. The rest of the world yearns for a return to normal, normal is the very thing from which we yearn to be free.

In >10 school days, our team built a guide for students to continue #DistanceLearning. Today 4/6, continues the biggest experiment in US Public Ed history & marks the 1st day for PPS. We know it won’t be w/out set of issues but teachers will rise to the challenge! Cheers! TY!

Great resources! Thanks @TNTP
