1) I want to talk about something that deviates from my normal tweets. I've been hesitant about expressing this since I am not an Asian American.
But I want to talk about Chinese culture's implicit acceptance of pain in exchange for survival. And how that makes us silent.

Now the real work begins.
To beat this pandemic.
To rebuild our economy.
To root out systemic racism in our justice system and society.
To combat the climate crisis.
To heal the soul of our nation.
The road ahead won't be easy. But America is ready. And so are @JoeBiden and I.

"We are making every misstep leaders initially made in table-tops at the outset of pandemic planning in 2006. ... We have thrown 15 years of institutional learning out the window." The revealing "Red Dawn" emails. @EricLiptonNYT nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/po…

I interviewed an old friend who works as an anesthesiologist in New York City yesterday.
She asked not to be named so she can speak freely and I just want to share some of what she said since I couldn't fit everything in my article: 1/

Here in China, it has taken a huge effort to control the #coronavirus. Everyone has a responsibility not to catch it because even if you survive, you could spread it to the elderly. You could kill someone else’s mother or father or grandmother or grandfather — or your own.
