Don't whitewash the problem with sweeping "get healthy" statements.

I guess we'll just sit back and watch more people die. Body bags all around!
My mother was diagnosed with asthma as a young person. Her doctor told her that smoking would help. She smoked for 40 or 50 years. I never knew her to suffer asthma symptoms.

Speaking of body bags: "In mid-March, as the Seattle region grappled with a coronavirus outbreak, a community health center caring for the area's Native American population made an urgent request to county, state and federal health agencies: Please send medical supplies.

What it received almost three weeks later left staff members stunned.

"My team turned ghost white," said Esther Lucero, chief executive officer of the Seattle Indian Health Board. "We asked for tests, and they sent us a box of body bags.""
