As a land use planner, I love this explanation of the vote distribution across the US. Maps are often used crudely and can be unintentionally deceptive.

Mask up and save lives. It is that straightforward!!
Leana Wen, M.D.@DrLeanaWen
A new study in @Nature: Right now, 49% of Americans wear masks in public. If we get this up to 85%, we would save 95,000 people. What if 95% of Americans wear masks? We'd save 129,000 lives. This is not about politics. It's a public health imperative. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Despite my best attempts, I was visibly sad today at my mother’s bedside. She turned to me and said, “Remember, the biggest mitzvah is to be happy. Always. No matter what.”
It was the last thing she said.
Love you, Ema (Mom).❤️
