If clean air is so unimportant, why bother with clean water? 🙃

Dear Schools. Save Your Money, And Your Time And Ignore This. Any Investment In Water Filtration Is Unproven And Wastes Precious Resources. Cholera Is No More Harmful To Kids Than Any Waterborne Plague.

Is there an official medical term for when people go to great lengths to pretend covid is not a thing and then get mad at people who remind them of the reality something like covid trauma denial syndrome or something. I feel like there needs to be a name for it.

"If the pandemic began with messages of solidarity, it rapidly devolved into reassurances that only the truly vulnerable would experience COVID’s greatest harms. In the shadow of that predatory view of human life, the population of the vulnerable has only expanded."

Opinion: Why do we have to keep getting COVID?

There is a lot we could to prevent constant reinfections, but no public motivation to do so

"I know that the people I have been sparring with are, for the most part, decent folks: They are just ill informed. But I can’t keep trying to do the job of a public-health official to ensure my own health. It’s quite literally making me sick" www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: I loved my teaching career. COVID normalization stole it from me

I am immunocompromised and rely on medication to manage an autoimmune disease. This means vaccine protection from the virus is probably less effective for me than most people

New from me: Out of control COVID means permanent segregation for many disabled people "Immunocompromised people are under constant siege, with levels of disease unseen in modern times being normalized in all public spaces." Read here: t.co/3LtA3YECyG

Out of control COVID means permanent segregation for many disabled people

Millions of people cannot afford a(nother) COVID infection. Forever waves of COVID means permanent isolation for us

Bernie Sanders "The time has come to start treating the Long COVID crisis as the public health emergency that it is. That means educating medical professionals, doing a much better job at disease prevention, and doing everything we can do to find treatments and cures for Long COVID."

Bernie Sanders: America Must Confront Its Long COVID Crisis

Long COVID is real. It is negatively impacting tens of millions of people throughout the United States and the world. We can no longer ignore it, or its sufferers’ treatment needs.

“Despite the dire impact of long COVID on individuals and society, I fear that many are still unaware of the danger. There is an urgent need to provide proper diagnosis and treatment for people living with long COVID.” fortune.com/well/article...

Long COVID is still a problem, racking up a global cost of $1 trillion

Experts want government agencies to act.

Do I have health anxiety, or am I showing a rational response to knowing the actual facts about how this disease works and all the ways the ruling class are abandoning us to die to it?

If there's no way to talk about covid without it being impolite, then either politeness will kill us all, or we have to stop worrying about being polite.

I wasn't impressed when Lady Gaga said she performed 5 shows while positive with Covid. I'm not impressed by Olympians who still compete despite having Covid. These are not markers of tenacity or grit. It's stupidity, short-sightedness & the opposite of what builds resilience.
