In 2021 I decided that I would wait for the pandemic to be actually over* for full a year before relaxing my layered protections.
We haven’t even had a month of that in the past 4+yrs, so the protections stay 😷
There is no amount of name calling that will budge me
#SARSCoV2
Today at the grocery store I saw:
1. An entire family wearing KN95 respirators, including small school-aged child
2. A cashier wearing an N95 using the popular loose hair method I’ve seen online
3. A woman wearing a baggy blue and clutching a Kleenex to her face (over the mask)

In normal companies, an email like this would be forwarded to IT to report a phishing attack and promptly deleted.
Click this random link or you’re fired is wild. I’m curious what level of opt-in he gets 😂
They will ask you to mask again
They will say it’s a brand new risk, don’t worry about the past
But they *will* ask you to mask again. It’s inevitable. All we’re doing right now is waiting, as it worsens, until most people finally realize something is wrong
#CovidIsAirborne
Today at the grocery store I saw multiple people in N95s! Also a smattering of KN95s, medical and cloth masks.
People know something is up! 😷

Early morning on the first day of the new year.
2024 will be hard to bear. People are waking up to the fact that nearly everyone is down with the sickness but facing the damage already done will be rough
Show you care when you share the air, wear a mask!
#SARS2isAirborne
My grandfather died this week. We had a complicated relationship but I attended the funeral today.
My family of 4 were the only ones masking.
But all anyone else could talk about was how sick they were, how sick their kids were, and all the funerals lately 😷

You’re describing a victim of sex trafficking.
The cutesy “mail order bride” label normalizes the practice. Just a heads up, it was something I had to learn too.

I was at the high school last week and offered to donate respirators, an offer which was initially refused until one of the admin staff commented on the purple of *my* mask. They then accepted a package of those respirators!

HIV and covid both have asymptomatic transmission. You can’t always tell if someone is testing positive

I’ve finally found a smaller N95 that seals for me. This Drager X-Plore 1950 (size small) fits me perfectly!
I really wanted to love Auras but they are too big for my face and don’t seal 😷

This fall will be the worst one of the pandemic (so far).
Brace yourselves. Wear a respirator, even outdoors. Avoid crowds, even outdoors. No restaurant dining, even outdoors.

“Think negative, act positive”
For all those zero-covid skeptics, zero-HIV was very much the goal. We should all aim for a ‘negative’ while acting in a positive way to protect ourselves and others

@NataliaHodgins
I had a doctor tell me that our next visit would include a breast exam as that’s how he liked to “get to know” new patients.
I was 16, he said this in front of my mom, who was then mad at me for refusing to go to his office (the only dr in our town) ever again
Recently I was talking to a medical professional who used the term “covid restrictions” and when I responded I didn’t correct her but I used the term “covid protections” and she actually sat back and paused.
She noted the difference immediately and I think it made her think ❤️🩹
“Get the facts”
We really need an information driven public health campaign for covid prevention. Too many people think it’s impossible when it really isn’t.
We knew *exactly* how to prevent it as soon as we knew it was airborne. In 2020
#CovidIsAirborne
At the grocery store today several customers were masking, most in medical masks but one stray N95 and a KN95 on one of the cashiers 🇨🇦❤️😷

“You never know what you’ll find beneath the surface, wrap it up every time”
As true for covid as it is for AIDS. Wrap it up (in a respirator or condom), every time!
#MasksWork
The way that governments are very quietly putting up covid guidance docs on air quality and masks while loudly promoting that the pandemic is over is **chilling**
They do this for only one reason. They’re setting it up to be able to say “we warned you”

I just used this one in the great feral vs wild debate, but here’s Auri, complete brain crash when the feather she licked got unexpectedly stuck to her velcro tongue

When I finally started to get diagnosed with autoimmune stuff my doctor agreed that the issues were real but then suggested that my *reaction* to them was too severe 🤦♀️
This is blatant discrimination against disabled people

I recently had to lock down my acct due to anti-mask trolls
Comments included:

- ableist/sanist insults
- accusations of ‘child abuse’ for a photo of two teens in respirators 😂

If your spouse goes out, acts unsafe, and brings back an STD, we all know that’s abusive.
So if your spouse goes out, acts unsafe, and brings back covid, it is also abusive
#SARSCoV2
Folks. In in any relationship, where one of you puts the other in constant danger against the wishes of the other as some do with Covid. The person risking the other is an abusive person. This is abuse. I know they don't think they are, but they are, in fact, abusive. Sorry.
Don’t do this.
If you like my allyship, but can’t be bothered to even be respectful of my safety precautions as a disabled woman in a deadly airborne pandemic?
That should be an inside thought, and you should reflect on what led you to do this

Since you’re asking for advice: don’t go. Your daughter will not be well enough to attend a concert next month, she is *in the hospital* and you have no idea when she’s actually going to be discharged. You’ll be lucky if she doesn’t contract covid in the hospital and get worse
My amazing vet did a house all for my cats’ annual appt yesterday. They offered when I was concerned about no masks in the clinic.
They wore medical masks to my house, waited outside to put on the KN95s I had for them, and took tests before coming ❤️ All without complaint

@Andrew___Baker
So you force your disabled students to declare to the whole class that they are disabled, or forgo the appropriate accommodations for their disability?
You don’t see how that is bad? 🤔
@tincanfire
Once I was convinced to mask in March 2020, I never saw any information to make me think the threat had subsided (because it hasn’t)
As soon as they started changing how they count the cases/deaths/hospitalizations I knew that it wouldn’t be safe to unmask for a *long* time.

“They didn’t prosecute a wealthy white man for domestic violence” is the most predictable outcome possible, what are you talking about?
Cops have a 40% (self-admitted) rate of domestic violence themselves…
I’ve been posting about covid on NextDoor pretty regularly
✅Yesterday one of my neighbours asked for mask recommendations.
✅Today one of my neighbours asked me how to do an at-home fit test.
This is your daily reminder to take action, even if small! ❤️🩹😷

This is so bad
1. Bird flu in cattle and their milk
2. Texas allows sale of unpasteurized milk
3. Bird flu infects enough humans to mutate and become more contagious ☠️
Please wear a mask and be careful of animals and animal products 😷

Seriously, dude decided to show his gf’s nudes to a group of guys for the kudos and without her consent but the whole article is whining about how hard it is for him because now he has no friends.
That’s not being cancelled, that’s natural consequences for his behaviour.
What's up with undergrads missing class constantly due to sickness? I've heard this is a thing at multiple institutions. My class has been repeatedly decimated.
NIGHT TWO IN GLENDALE IS RESCHEDULED TO SEPTEMBER 9!
We’re very sorry to report that tomorrow’s scheduled M72 date at State Farm Stadium has been postponed to Saturday, September 9, 2023, as, unfortunately, COVID has caught up with James. We’re extremely disappointed and regret
@yungdessalines
This happened a few years ago in Southern Ontario, the apple crops were destroyed by two weeks of 30c weather in March followed by a sudden hard freeze
Climate change will see that happen to more crops, more frequently, across the world.
It’s grim
This is irresponsible 🤯
Cases are *vastly* undercounted, by literally every single metric, including wastewater.
Wastewater is also the only half-decent metric we have left, casting doubt based on speculation is going to get more people killed
I worry that using wastewater levels as our primary indicator of community cases of COVID when there is a shift to JN.1 could significantly overestimate daily cases.
At Walmart today, I saw several N95s and a whole host of medical masks 😷

Early in the pandemic I read a tweet where they said when someone asked about their mask, they took another out of their pocket and put it on while maintaining eye contact. Repeat until they stop asking 😅
Doctors say they are seeing an alarming number of seemingly healthy younger patients having heart attacks. Now doctors at Mount Sinai are tracking patients to see if they can uncover the new risk factors behind the trend.

Yeah, basically it can live in the GI tract and just keep replicating from there.
“A new study finds evidence of a biomarker that could point toward an active viral reservoir in the body, particularly in the gut after initial SARS-CoV-2 infection.”
It boggles the mind that they wouldn’t just set up a testing system to screen for the virus, so we can be warned as early as possible…
…instead of waiting for the problem to show up and then scrambling 🤦♀️

@InspiredAquaCA
We have not detected HPAI in cattle in Canada at this time so we are not currently testing raw or pasteurized milk. Testing is being recommended based on suspicion of the disease. HPAI is not a food safety concern as pasteurization kills harmful bacteria and viruses.

One thing I’ve learned during this pandemic is that literally everyone wants there to be a *single* solution to the

They desperately want to believe that:
- vaccines provide immunity
- infection provides immunity
- N95s are 💯 effective in all conditions
