Bernie Sanders: "The best way to avoid getting Long COVID is to prevent people from getting COVID in the first place. That means making sure that people get vaccines, wearing masks when appropriate, and making rapid tests available to people."

Bernie Sanders: America Must Confront Its Long COVID Crisis
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.

☕😶 - & the best way to prevent people from getting #COVID19#SARSCoV2#CovidIsNotOver#CovidIsAirborne#TheCivilityOfNormal

graph of cumulative confirmed covid-19 deaths from Our World in Data (data source WHO COVID-19 Dashboard)

biden/harris administration enters office jan. 20, 2021,,

the population of the U.S. is only ~4% of the world's population & has far outpaced any other country in covid-19 deaths

they understood from the start
what they could do to prevent our harm & deaths
& they're choosing not to do them so their economy
can "get back to normal", providing their & their donors'
profits & political power off our harm,,
screenshot of scientific american article by Steven W. Thrasher:
there is nothing normal about one million people dead from covid -
mass media and policy makers are pushing for a return to pre-covid times while trying to normalize a staggering death toll

image: a person sits on a bench amongst a field of white flags
each representing a person who died from covid
in the upper left of the image, sitting amongst the flags,
is bernie sanders in his winter coat & surgical mask,
sitting on a folding chair with his arms crossed
trolley problem meme: they parrot "we grieve with you 🙏🏻😢" as they stuff their pockets with profits created out of our suffering & deaths

So all the things we were doing before but stopped. 😑 Also, I'd like to ask Bernie when is it not appropriate to wear a mask?

CLEAN AIR. How can you be talking about Covid prevention without saying clean air? It starts with systems upgrades in schools, daycares, hospitals, nursing homes, grocery stores, and workplaces. If you aren’t talking about clean air in places where the infection spreads, then you aren’t serious.
