As someone with ME/CFS my entire life is "rational assessment of the threat environment," because I walk a daily tightrope of illness management.

I don't have the luxury of ignoring the science, which overwhelmingly proves the threat of covid is still very real.

That's not fear, it's fact.

Carving out the people who are taking seriously the measurable and well-documented half-decade-old ongoing threat to your health as β€œCovid forever dead enders” is just your own way of being β€œantivax”.

Same assed mindset because you don’t wanna, don’t care, and *need* to poop in the public well.😀πŸ’ͺ

People are VERY huffy and stompy about this post but just as an inside opinion from someone in LC community, It’s hard to believe there is solidarity with the disabled and high risk people who need to avoid covid when our one primary ask is met with accusations that, hey, maybe we’re just CRAZY?

Dear liberals,

If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

if you are rightfully concerned if not frightened about the continued dissolution of U.S. healthcare infrastructure, would you take an action every day to resist it?

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

Studies across 14 nations show 25% to 30% rate of long COVID Among the 25% of participants in 1 study who said they experienced long-COVID symptoms, 13% reported sleep disorders.

Just saw someone angrily blustering on Facebook that if the scaremongers were right, 30% of people would have long covid by now!!! And welp…

OK so I read through this study, and here are my conclusions:
- What a cool tech to examine epigenetic factors so closely!
- This is a small study
- This only differentiates severe-presenting patients from healthy controls; hasn't been used to diagnose ME/CFS *versus* other inflammatory illness. πŸ§ͺ

I just learned that the number of children in the U.S. navigating life with Long COVID exceeds that of the number of kids with asthma.

I tell people if they can smell a fart then they would be inhaling SARS2 as well. Smoke is a great analogy but farts move the same way and literally everyone farts, unlike smoking lol

It’s never too late to start masking again.

It can be daunting to mask back up when no one else is bothering, but your health is worth it.

Every Covid infection is a dice roll with disability, and a good respirator like an N95 stops chains of transmission.

You’ll also get less colds & flus!

I haven't seen one single study that shows it's harmless to keep getting Covid again & again. But there are thousands of peer-reviewed studies that document long-term harms
