As someone who had long covid, this checks out

Escaping a church. Fighting long COVID. Taking on the GOP and corporate Dems. And somehow still standing. You’ll want to see the video THEY didn’t want you to. 💥

COVID-19 is not “a flu” nor a “hoax.”

Well....What happens after 10 years of repeat infections? 🤔 I guess we'll see.

New York State Health Commissioner says that in 2024, three times as many New Yorkers died from COVID than the flu, nearly 3,000 to roughly 700.

#COVID isn't like the flu, at all.

Wear a respirator mask when shopping to prevent both.

You’re welcome.

2 long covid exists
3 each reinfection risks worse symptoms
I don’t have the means to check this site out but I urge everyone to to stay alert & use whatever legitimate health resources they have access to
Wear a mask if you can & during the flue outbreak if you feel ill

Mask up indoors. Viruses spread quicker when the relative humidity is less than 40%.

QR code to get a 5% discount on any CleanAirKit, which are CR boxes for air filtration. It goes to their website. Fun to build your own high efficiency CR box with snazzy designs. If you use my link I'll get 5% too which will help me afford getting a new CleanAirKit table top CR box that I can carry to my Dr appointments for cleaner safer air.

Screenshot of a website. Photo of a two fan tabletop CR box from Clean Air Kits. The top is wood and there are black metal frames over the fans and a black metal handle. The wording reads - Clean Air Kits 138 SQ FT 2-4 PEOPLE

Clean air kits! It's so easy to clean the air with the right equipment.

I have a Luggable from CleanAirKits, very cool CR box kits, & I'm saving up for a second one for my home. They are fun to assemble. Look at this cool tabletop one. Easy to carry to my Dr appt.s.

This should happen at every Home Depot across the country.

This is pure genius and a different kind of protest than No Kings. Both are impactful in different ways. No need to try to devalue one in order to lift the other. That's unnecessarily divisive.

Home Depot gives millions to trump and maga. This is a protest and civil disobedience in the age of late stage capitalism. This hurts them more than a street protest

Nice to see 7 or so respirators in this vid, though in light of the 📈 flu, RSV, norovirus, & COVID cases & that many of these un😷d peeps will get with family for Thanksgiving right when hitting peak transmissibility, they should all be 😷 in N95+.

& please don’t get right in the face of those in 😷🤦‍♀️

Adding to this CO2 monitoring tech, the perfect venue would include whisper-quiet PC fan #CRboxes spread throughout the facility because the MERV-8s will do virtually nothing to remove PM2.5s from the indoor air.
Here is a great DIY #CRbox
