This Physicist Says We Don’t Take COVID Seriously Enough | The Tyee We downplay the virus at our peril, warns Yaneer Bar-Yam. And children are more at risk than we thought.

Covid poses an "existential threat to human health".

Every infection increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, dysregulation of the immune system and reactivation of viral infections.

Children are having Long COVID.

American College of Cardiology: COVID triggers prothrombotic state persisting beyond acute stage, pulmonary embolisms can occur weeks, months later. ‘We’re just beginning to see the cardiovascular aftermath. People can have extensive chronic clot in their lungs and not know it.’

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Yikes, he said yes! This is a serious civil liberties concern. There is a vast difference between agents of the state and individual protesters.

Also, I often mask up in public places to keep myself from getting sick, which will only become more necessary now that Trump has decimated the CDC.

Covid is not over.

People are still dying and becoming disabled every day.

We rushed “back to normal” for the economy, not because the threat had passed.

When you wear a mask, you’re not only protecting your health, you’re saying you don’t believe anyone is expendable.

The inspirational bit at the end is good, but I’m also glad to know that Jane Goodall had a burn list.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

It's so important for people to understand that *they may not know* they're impaired by Covid.

If I could get non-autistic people to understand one thing, it wouldn't be that I have support needs. It would be that YOU have support needs.

This autism press conference is an insult to science and medicine. It is a bunch of shameless male quacks shoveling bullshit at pregnant women, families and people with autism. This is a historic embarrassment for America and it is wildly dangerous.

Fundamentally, the reason I avoid Covid is because all - all - of the elements of my life that bring me joy and fulfillment rest on my cardiovascular fitness and / or my cognition. I'm not going to risk a virus wrecking that, as I've seen happen to way too many people I know.

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
