Imagine a basic COVID awareness quiz:
Q1: Is COVID airborne?
Q2: Do masks work?
Q3: Can you get Long Covid?
Too much, or just about right? ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ

When I first became aware of this through #Watchmen, I (like many people I suspect) thought it was fiction. It beggars belief that the Tulsa massacre is still not included in US history classes.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
Getting increasingly irritated by publications without BlueSky as a sharing option, especially if X is there. I'm trying to promote your article on a site that actually allows people to see it. Help me help you man.

We all want the Pandemic to be over, no one wants to think about the possibility of organ damage and long covid. Hardly nice conversation to talk about.

05.01.2025 09:52 โ ๐ 72 ๐ 21 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0This is ridiculous. Hospitals going back on mask mandates due to backlash and leaving it to โpersonal choiceโ
We know all too well what โchoiceโ people will make.
Itโs a hospital. People need to ask themselves why theyโre SO unwilling to wear a mask in the place the sickest people are.
Iโd recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat youโre in and hand sanitizer.
Itโs going to be on you alone to protect your health.
Warning signs are everywhere.

If you read one article on H5N1 this week, make it this one.
Two new studies paint a comprehensive picture of current long COVID U.S. cases.
Both suggest the condition limits daily activities for a significant proportion of those affected ...
Lolz, it's definitely intentional.
