If you don’t care about #LongCovid, you should. Even if it never affects you directly, it is a mass-disabling event that’s unravelling society.

On the disbelief/doubt/minimization/disrespect #LongCovid patients still encounter daily: “It’s just a staggering, staggering lack of empathy. And I think it’s also fear and a defense mechanism... 2/
“People want to believe that they have more control over their lives than they do, & they want to believe that it’s not possible for them personally to get a virus & then never recover & have their life changed so substantially.” #LongCovid @ahandvanish 3/
This report says EXACTLY what so many of us were criticized for saying: that not only do kids cause the overwhelming majority of transmission, but specifically that *SCHOOLS* cause the majority of transmission. The proof is when they chart the timeline…
cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/more-…
cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/more-…
“Once US schools reopened in fall 2020, children contributed more to inferred within-household transmission when they were in school, and less during summer and winter breaks, a pattern consistent for 2 consecutive school years."
Also look at the breakdowns from this section, I’ll take them one by one:
There’s a reason that the White House still requires testing and upgraded ventilation to get anywhere near the President. There’s a reason economic/financial outlets like Bloomberg are seemingly the only ones still truly reporting on Covid. There is a reason #DavosSafe is a thing
The wealthy elite know that one of the BIGGEST competitive advantages they can give themselves their children going into the next century is not having been exposed to repeat Covid infections. It will confer so many intersecting layers of privilege that you can’t put a price on.
So to my fellow Covid conscious folks who are struggling under the weight of how hard everything is right now: try to remember, you’re essentially playing the long game. For all we’re losing out on now, our kids will thank us for it later. But more than that…
Des millions ont dû défiler depuis le début des débats et du vote de la #ReformedesRetraite en manifestant leur mécontentement, convaincus que le gouvernement ne cherche/propose pas des solutions pérennes aux vrais problèmes des travailleurs et chômeurs pour une retraite digne …
Mais ils ont accepté et joyeusement applaudi l’abandon des:
-tests+tracing
-arrêts de travail pour isolement
-cours à distance (pour préparer la mise aux normes de la ventilation dans les classes)
-du port du masque

Even Mina's "getting colds in inevitable" is weak.
My #DavosSafe lifestyle (a combination of my ability to question authority and my fortunate circumstances) means I haven't even had a COLD in over three years.
As long as I can control my life, I may never have a cold again.

Unfortunately, because the masses are delighted to go around spreading a #kovid plague that's destroying themselves, I have to wear top quality biohazard level three PPE when I leave my apartment, even in the hallways and common areas of my building.
And I only leave my apartment when it absolutely cannot be avoided.

I interviewed @MeetJess on the death of 6-year-old Jimari Williams from a “mystery illness” in Detroit & the broader context of governments dismantling all mitigation measures to slow the spread of #COVID19 and other pathogens. A🧵of key quotes. 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
"Until an autopsy is done, we can’t say for certain whether he died of COVID or another illness. Will we ever know what happened to this child? I don’t know. But why haven’t they brought back masks into the school? " #BringBackMasks 2/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Le vaccin en outre, ne nous permet en aucun cas à lui seul de sortir de cette pandémie, le Cøvid-19 s'étant au contraire installé.
Par ailleurs, les citoyens ne sont pas des patients auxquels on ne pourrait imposer aucun traitement.

The two favourites for the top Giro d'Italia tour, cycling stars Primož Roglič and Remco Evenepoel, are adopting advanced safety measures to avoid a SARS2 infection, including mask use, air purifiers, testing, and single rooms for themselves and teams 🔥

The top Giro d'Italia has been hit by a round of withdrawals due to Covid, including from home fav Giulio Ciccone. Primož Roglič, 33, has been indirectly hit himself: his team Jumbo suffered three withdrawals due to covid just before the start, including world champion T. Foss.
World and Vuelta champion, Remco Evenepoel, 23, from the Quick-Step team, has also specifically asked journalists to wear a mask before meeting him. Both Roglič and Evenepoel, obviously, want to avoid putting in jeopardy their chances of winning the Giro #davossafe

I don't think we should accept a "new normal" where going to a conference or to the dentist could cost your life, or cause disability, because a SARS virus is let to rip rampant, with no mitigations
I don't think we should accept a "new normal" where you have to choose between cancer treatment and risk of infection with a SARS virus, because hospitals refuse to implement mask mandates
I don't think we should accept a "new normal" where people are going on a cruise with no mitigations; and get sick in the hundreds with a SARS virus; and authorities have to decide where the ship is to disembark, while people are sick on it with poor medical care

2. "Setting the stage". Thinking back to winter 2020, I think what we are urged to "live with" now would have horrified these same people. It took a lot more to harden opinion.
In early February 2020, while I was riding the DC subway happily ignorant and maskless, the then-President was perfectly well aware Covid was a respiratory virus and a serious threat. Both he AND Bob Woodward kept this well under their hats.
Understanding the science of the Sars-2 pandemic has been difficult enough (see 👇), but, my main interest, as a lay person, was on pandemic policies. While policies are informed by science, the relation between them isn't always straightforward.

Absolutely not!
How resources are allocated in a society, who benefits or suffers, who lives or dies as a consequence is ALWAYS a political decision.

I think we were on the cusp of a huge ideological breakthrough when covid hit. It was a wake up call: our lives, health and relationships are important. Mindless consumerism is not the answer, working ourselves into an early grave doesn't appeal... and clean air is important
Covid showed us change *is* possible. Drastic change IS possible (if only initially to protect old white men). But then as the wake up call started to take hold, and more evidence that it was airborne came to light, people in power started pushing for "normalcy" again
Now that the rich and powerful knew how to better protect themselves by making their environments #DavosSafe they could push the plebs back into the cycle of endless consumerism and obedience

Il y a quelques mois, 93% de la population 🇺🇸 était estimé avoir été infecté par le #SARSCoV2, aujourd’hui sûrement davantage. Pas de raison pour qu’en 🇪🇺 la situation soit différente, la circulation virale est en roue libre et nous n’avons plus d’indication sur son intensité

The reality is that cleaning indoor air is simply good economics. Always has been, always will be.

Do as much outside as possible.
The bigger the venue, the better. More space and higher ceilings means better dilution and lower risk.
Your three tools are ventilation, filtration and UV. We'll go through them one by one.

Ventilation:
Find out what you can about the ventilation. Ask if they can increase it during the gathering and ensure it is scheduled properly and not in auto. If there are windows or doors, try to open them. If there are ceiling fans, turn them on.

Thread: The lifting of mask mandates in healthcare settings HURTS US ALL. But let’s talk about how the burden continues to fall on disabled and chronically ill patients to keep themselves and everyone around them safe. Predisabled people, listen up. (1/9)
Scheduled physical therapy bc of limited mobility and pain. Was informed that masks are no longer mandatory & the office doesn’t supply masks to staff. I had to ask that my physical therapist (pt) wear a mask when working on me, and thankfully the pt is willing to wear one. (2/9)
So I’m bringing different types of high rated masks so my pt can try which fits best. I’ll be wearing my gvs elipse p100 elastomeric. I’m also bringing a portable hepa air purifier bc they have none. Affording these (even on sale) is a huge privilege. But it shouldn’t be! (3/9)
