As the coronavirus spread on the Fort Apache reservation in Arizona, medical teams sought out residents who might have been exposed but didn’t know it. Their effort paid off in unexpected ways. nyti.ms/31OV7zN

The Apaches have been infected with the coronavirus at more than 10 times the rate of other people in Arizona. But their death rate from Covid-19 is far lower — 1.3%, as compared with 2.1% in the rest of the state. nyti.ms/2PQR8wY

Intensive contact tracing using an oximeter — an inexpensive device clipped to a finger that can detect dangerously low blood oxygen levels — has helped identify and treat gravely ill people before it was too late to save them. nyti.ms/2PQR8wY

The reservation’s 30-member contact-tracing team includes doctors and members of the community who know the residents. The doctors would identify high-risk patients — those in grave danger from lack of oxygen — and take them to the hospital early. nyti.ms/2PQR8wY

If each vertebrae were a prayer how much have I nursed my back to carry myself as a warrior and not another destroyer of the sacred bond that gave me life? From our film tekonafilm.com

Our rooftop views were when we stood on suncracked shingles to catch a glimpse of the sunset, or look up at the stars that could pierce through the streetlights.

This is for my A1 day 1’s, never self-made, community made us. Stay blessed in kinship.

The entire universe is permeable to our prayers and collective healing power. My uncle would say each mind is a universe. We can lean into the abundance we each carry especially when we feel pain and suffering are inescapable.

I’m getting back into sharing more writing by pulling from the notes on my phone. The thoughts may or may not connect lol
