i was thinking a lot about this throughout the week, and how especially disappointing the lack of masking was considering that GDQ was relatively diligent about it throughout the pandemic, even after the majority of organizations, businesses, and events have completely abandoned any concern for public health. i was very glad to see at least a few runners masking, even while the rest of the event was a super-spread event in the making.
on another note, it was also disappointing to hear the PCF folks in their interviews consistently parroting ableist and classist "diet and exercise" talking points without any acknowledgement of the financial and social barriers or the complete lack of public health awareness and infrastructure that are hugely contributing to chronic illness and mortality. or, you know, maybe mentioning the immune system-destroying virus currently tearing through the population via aerosol transmission in crowded gatherings with poor ventilation and no masking.

Talking about weight has been a part of their rhetoric for a number of years, although I don't remember it being mentioned more than briefly, in the times I've watched (which would have last been in 2022). It's "good" to know that they are doubling down on that...
if only they had people on staff that were experienced in public health education and outreach
