the virus PERSISTS in your brain and bone marrow. specifically this study shows sc2 accumulating & persisting FOR YEARS after infection especially IN YOUR BRAIN.
stop and consider how bad this is. while your thinking-skills are still functioning. WEAR A N95.
I need something in the ‘win’ column. Hoping this goes somewhere.
Study: “The COVID-19 group had a significantly higher rates of bacterial infections, influenza virus infections, and mycoplasma infections”
Just like Spanish Flu, Covid is increasing the risk of bacterial infections.

A meme, made out of the scene from Tangled, where Rapunzel is seen on the right looking to the left front, at how cute her pet Chameleon pascal is, with her hands held together, kind of a dreamy pose. Pascal the chameleon is standing on a table holding his hands open as if someone would insinuate "keep your distance". The background & everything around them has been altered by me into a blurry wiggly pink colored mesh effect. Above Pascal it says "practice social distancing". Above Rapunzel it says "Mask up" in bold letters. Below both of them it says "Keep eachother safe!". Rapunzel has a edited mask on.
Being able bodied is a temporary condition.
Covid is airborne & does not discriminate. You could be next.
Don't let the ruling class put your health & the health of your loved ones at risk!
Wear at least a N95, demand clean air policies, masking& more!

Lovin’ the mask, stranger.
Yep. Same protocol here.
Not to mention, you are more likely to receive hostility about your own efforts to protect yourself (ie masking) from healthcare workers than from any shopkeeper. Which is just crushing.
Masking is a simple act of community care to keep people safe from a virus that science CLEARLY shows is dangerous to body and mind. And for some reason this makes people REALLY angry. #stillcoviding
Glad for it 😊
I use protections, precautions and mitigations. I wear a mask and a respirator. I am covid-conscious, covid-cautious and covid-aware. I am #StillCoviding
Countless studies show micro blood clots, organ damage, immune dysfunction and vascular damage in post Covid patients - ‘even’ in the young & healthy.
So why aren’t Long Covid patients, especially kids, being taken seriously by the medical community?
Genuine question.

Yes, please do! I have an art show next week, just up the road in Toronto and I’d love it if the entire city didn’t come with Covid! #StillCoviding
Hi Tern! I was the rose-breasted grosbeak, Coco, over there. I’d love a follow from you over here as well. ❤️ #stillcoviding

Beautiful, succinct, up-to-date web resource on how to tackle SARS-2 in schools.
Plentiful research links from a very solid, multi-disciplinary team – with plenty of solutions.

This is why it really grinds my gears when Covid cautious people frame their avoidance as being because they're disabled or "at risk."
For fuck's sakes, 100% of people are "at risk."
You're not encouraging people to care about disabled people. You're encouraging this. 👇
Dr Taylor estimates she has seen around 2000 people and is now receiving around 300 messages a week looking for care.

“I know I should wear a mask, but I can’t live like that.” Like what? A life with principle, compassion, knowledge and integrity? No, I guess you can’t. Most people are such weak sauce. #stillcoviding

For the record, I wear a respirator in public.
When I teach.
In office at work.
When presenting at professional conferences.
Outside when people are around.
Shopping.
All. The. Time.
Never stopped.
We sail a tight ship now though! ❤️
Ours is a very long story. Better now but almost 2 years of hell. I often wish I could go back and do it differently. ❤️
Before I woke up, my kids were both infected outdoors at separate times. It happens. You are wise to do so. We now mask anywhere there are (or might have been) other humans.
