The main ones circulating or even the strain that you are exposed to. The best way to prevent covid infection is to wear a well fitted N95 or KN95 mask in spaces where you share air with the public. That includes in outdoor crowds.

Just to clarify for people reading: No vaccine will keep you from getting COVID. The baby is not immune or something. Vaccines are great and reduce symptoms and *somewhat* reduce viral load but they also wane in efficacy after like 3 months & that’s supposing that the strains the vaccine targets are

🧵💉Should pregnant people get COVID-19 vaccine? 🤰

TL;DR: YES.

Pregnant people, especially those with certain conditions are at increased risk of severe COVID, miscarriage, and pre-term labor. Babies < 6mo also have increased risk of severe COVID. Vaccination protects mom and baby

So yeah we’re just arresting people for using medical devices in public again. Eugenics and ableism. www.reddit.com/r/savannah/s...

Why are more than 300 people in the US still dying from COVID every week? Last month, an average of about 350 people died each week from COVID, according to data from the CDC. With available vaccines and treatments, why are people still dying?

In the US, 300 people a week are dying of Covid.

1200 a month. 15,600 a year.

They’ve restricted COVID testing & reporting… so it’s safe to say those numbers are an undercount (and they don’t include the thousands being disabled)

Do they urge mask use? Clean air? No. They restrict vaccines:

New COVID-19 variant spreads rapidly in the US, experts warn As summer travel plans take shape, health officials are warning that a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading rapidly in the U.S.

🚨NB.1.8.1, linked to a significant outbreak in Asia, now spreads in the US. Liz Bonis @local12.bsky.social interviewed @hamcohealth.bsky.social Director Dr. Steve Feagins on a potential COVID surge this summer. bit.ly/WKRC_NB181

People rightfully don’t trust politicians because they dangle positive change like a carrot that you only get after Election Day… maybe.

We don’t need a liberal Joe Rogan. We need our leaders to do good things at every possible juncture. That’s where our resources should go.

So ok, here’s the deal. We’ve been skating on the fact that we had a massive summer wave last year, one of the biggest we’ve *ever* had. Since then, no new strain really took over, so people who got sick last year have been coasting on limited immunity to that strain.

That’s about to change.

Dude WHY

They cut overnight weather forecasting and are getting red state voters killed.

It’ll be something to see how this summer’s temperatures impact areas most affected by the year’s tornadoes now that so much tree cover has been lost. These are big, old trees coming down.

In the days leading up to the tornado that has killed 5 in St. Louis many areas around the city/county had siren tests. Yet when the tornado was sweeping through the area they didn’t go off at all??

There’s no rationale for this ignorance any more. There are thousands of credible studies. There are thousands of online advocates trying to hand-feed people basic information on transmission and risk. There are thousands of news articles. If you still don’t get it, you just don’t want to.

It’s possible 🥰

You hear excuse a lot from people who KNOW that they should be masking during the ongoing pandemic but “no one else is doing it!”. Weak ass argument when you can directly be responsible for someone’s death or disability bc you “didn’t know” you were asymptomatic

I’m so sorry. It is such a powerless feeling.

Another case for conferences and org meetings to have digital accessibility in the time of fascism + Covid

Okay it's not quite afternoon yet but I'm going to start the big thread of folks in Gaza who need help. The best thing you can do for anyone on here, aside from giving money, is take time out of your day a few times a week to share the same family. People respond to that. Pick someone and help.

So it turns out it may not actually be impossible to find love while COVID conscious? Big if true.

Fascists want us divided, uninformed and sick. A sick, apathetic population won’t put up much of a fight.

Protect your health. Read local independent journalists. Support libraries, community fridges & food banks. Give to mutual aid. Wear a mask.

Strong inclusive communities will save lives

Hey it’s long covid awareness day! I’ve had long covid since one mild infection in 2022, and here’s what to be aware of:

It sucks, and there is no cure.

I’ve been on bed rest for a week and had to take time off work because I’m in a crash. Under no circumstances should you keep trying to get this.

How people can recognize that this guy’s take is eugenics but then justify not wearing a mask in public spaces & “going back to normal” in the ongoing pandemic bc “covid is only dangerous to high risk people” and “Biden said I could stop masking” is beyond frustrating.
