Good thing they waited until their credibility was shot or this might have forced some [rich/powerful] peoples' hands
Long covid can impair quality of life more than advanced cancers
Health-related quality of life scores were also lower than those of people with advanced metastatic cancers, such as stage 4 lung cancer. Overall, the impact of long Covid on the daily activities of patients was worse than that for stroke patients and comparable to people with Parkinson’s disease.

Nice young man cutting my fabric at the fabric store coughed and sniffled one too many times for my comfort (I was uncomfortable at 2. There were more).
Me: masked
He: unmasked
Got home...

With the all the appropriate concern about #airquality in North America the last few days, it makes me wonder what would have been the response to #covid19 if people who were contagious exhaled putrid green fumes?
My indoor #PM25 reading is FINALLY as low as is measurable by the #AirPurifier!
At some points yesterday, it was up to 35 ppm even with all windows closed, air conditioners off/sealed, exhaust fans off, etc.

I guess, I have to prepare for a summer with terrible air quality. Forcast does not look good. Now, to convince my 87 year old mother to use one.
Next up, this has 2 Merv 13 filters, 1900 series, 20x20x1’built in a triangular shape. Takes up less room, not as noisy as standard #corsirosenthalbox

No Dorothy, catastrophic #wildfires and their smoke are not just a California problem. Get those N95’s back out, your lungs will thank you…. #AQI #WildfireSmoke #MaskUp #ClimateCrisis
Can’t believe “experts” are on the weather channel right now telling everyone to wear #N95 respirators outdoors while standing outdoors, NOT WEARING N95s, just holding them…

My friends and family on the East Coast are so messed-up from AQI levels that are "normal" outdoor winter evening levels here in my part of California (many neighbors heat with wood and who knows what other nasty stuff) and only half what they are when there's a wildfire here. #wildfire #smoke #maskup #N95 #houseairfilter #sharing
This trial from 2012 found that just wearing surgical masks by patients infected with multi drug resistant tuberculosis was enough to reduce infections by 56% in otherwise healthy Guinea pigs. But I guess another study won’t change things now. But we should have known. #MaskUp

Comrades in the so-called Newark area: Passing out masks today if you need one. Let me know if you need location for distro. Heading over soon!
if anyone else can donate funds, we’re still collecting for high quality masks, and anything leftover goes directly into the food and supplies fund for related materials.
Thank you in advance! Please stay safe out there and remember we take care of us!

Good to hear. You be safe too! It dawned on me yesterday that I think I'm running into people who want to be safe and mask but are being told from every direction that they shouldn't, and we who do mask, don't *always* need to be yelling #MASKUP!!! at them.
If you’re in the eastern part of the #USA, particularly in the #NYC metro area, please consider putting together sample packs of #N95 or equivalent #respirators to offer to your delivery people, postal workers, etc. today!
The #airquality is really abysmal due to ongoing #wildfires across #Canada, which poses health risks to EVERYONE, whether they have #asthma or other breathing problems.
Anyone who’s working or traveling outdoors today should #MaskUp & given the resources to do so.

Long Covid study from Germany.
High occurrence among non-hospitalised Covid infectees.
Well over 50%.
Project N95 would like to share a video on the proper way to put on an #N95 mask:
One #Tip share in the video - if you need a tighter seal, you can cross the straps in the back.
#SmogWarning in effect for #Montreal, somewhat elevated. Rain should help tomorrow. I have my noisy Corsi-Rosenthal going, windows shut.

I might assemble a triangular shaped box with the 20x20 Merv 13 filters, it’s much smaller.

"More than 70% of transmissions in households with adults and children were from a pediatric index case, but this percentage fluctuated weekly," the study authors wrote. "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."

Pride that isn't accessible isn't pride. LGBTQIA disabled folks exist.
Pride that doesn't take into account how many of us are being terrorized in this country and struggle to survive isn't pride. That is an access issue as well as a safety issue.
And that means any pride event not enforcing masks? Not Accessible and not safe.

Almost 1 million #Covid cases in UK as of May 23. Millions unable to work due to #LongCovid. This is government policy. Are you all paying attention?
#MaskUP #Covid is NOT over.
Good times huffing saccharine! :ageblobcat: I did my first fit test today. I took liberties with the official setup because a) the house trash bags are perfumed and that messes with me and b) in the real world I am unlikely to be exposed to such an intense concentration of aerosols as I would inside a fit test tent. 1/

I've been told to be more explicit: your (immune) defenses have probably been weakened since you caught #COVID
But these defenses are lowered against any bugs! 🦠
That's why the #WHO unexpectedly says that we need to increase hospital capacity, whether it's for the respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, or bacteria. **Because you've been hacked!** 🧱
As well, don't forget that most of the viruses that enter our respiratory tract are airborne, even bacteria 🗣️

More people should listen to Death Panel podcast and get others to listen to it. It explores the gaslighting and manufacturing of consent to forgo all safety, declaring an arbitrary end of the pandemic 'for the economy'.
This episode is a few months old now, but it's really great.
A thief came and said 'your money or your life', and most people chose money and forfeited both.

If your anarchy or socialism does not include #PandemicMitigations, then you aren't actually fighting for a better world. This is a hard truth to swallow, I know, but all Leftists MUST face this truth.
And then do better. Why?
Because failure to do pandemic mitigations is acceptance and promotion of eugenics; it is accepting the state's position that certain demographics deserve death and should be written off as waste.
Stop blindly believing the state's gaslighting of the pandemic. Believe us #disabled folks and the scientists doing the studies, who have proven again and again how dangerous this virus has become, especially long-term effects.
Masks work. Decades of studies prove this, and shrills funded by the state who try to claim otherwise? Stop blindly believing them. Masks when properly fitted work, and work best when we all wear them together.
The virus isn't going to disappear just because the US President said the pandemic is "over." The virus will continue to mutate into worse variants, will continue to spread, will continue to cause long-lasting damage to our bodies, will continue to kill and disable.
We could STOP THAT if we all worked together and make sure we Leave No One Behind.
We can't build a better world without normalizing pandemic mitigations in all of our work and organizing. A better world should NEVER adopt the eugenic strategies of the state, and that's what the failure to do pandemic mitigations does - it adopts the state's horror.
So stop doing that! We have the studies and science that prove the virus is still mutating, still causing tremendous harm to our bodies, and still killing thousands in the USA every week. Those people deserved life, and we could have saved them if we all collectively worked together to do pandemic mitigations:
1.Check wastewater data to see if Covid particles are on the rise to help assess risk. Demand data for Covid Transmission rates everywhere.
2. #MaskUp at all your events at all times. Demand all healthcare facilities and workers mask at all times.
3. Do #Testing for Covid before and after (PCR tests currently the best for new variants).
4. Buy or make Air Filtration units and install them in all rooms. @cleanairkits has some good options and instructions on how to do CR boxes. Make extras to share with others so they too can have clean air.
5. If possible, hold the event outside to allow people to spread out better.
@PeoplesCDC has an amazing toolkit called "See You Safer" that documents various ways we can safely organize, meet up, and fight against the rising tide of fascist eugenics.
So if you want to live out your truth, to truly build that better world that Leaves No One Behind, then get your asses in gear and DO PANDEMIC MITIGATIONS.
Please stop falling for the state's gaslighting eugenics.
Instead, FIGHT against that with people like me.
Thanks for reading.

Yes, it's more useful when in concert with other metrics, but we don't really have that 'luxury' anymore :blobcat_thisisfine:
ER doc friend tells me a story recently about a woman coming into the ER with strong indications of COVID. Hospital policy no longer requires COVID testing patients or masking for staff, but he tested her anyway and she was COVID positive and highly contagious. If he hadn't then 13 unmasked ER docs and nurses (he counted!) would have had to follow isolation protocols and be out of work for days, in the midst of acute staffing shortages. Absolute madness. #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne
Another week of seeing patients in family medicine. Masks will always be required in our office. To protect newborns, seniors, people with diabetes, pregnant people, people with cancer, essential workers, my staff, myself, my family. There’s nobody whose health I’d risk. #MaskUp
