"...I feel better already"

Racism has today been declared a Public Health Issue in the Emerald City. Sez Health Department Commissioner Dave A. Chokshi, MD:

"We must confront racism as a public health crisis. The pandemic magnified inequities, leading to suffering disproportionately borne by communities of color. But these inequities are not inevitable. Today is an historic day for the country’s oldest Board of Health." 

Virginia beat us to it by six months. Only took our Board 179 years. If only there were a vaccine for this other than time, and blood. Still better late than never. Like that Gay marriage, and Ganja thing. The Board of Health founded in 1842 codified by the State after the Civil War 1870.

Proposed new Emerald City flag,...interesting, but needs work.
