....if youre i side breathing around people .. at tbe very least

( ID: Tumblr user catnippackets: actually let's talk about this again just in case because it is currently flu season and in case we need a REMINDER!!!!!!!!!! wash your hands when you get home to prevent the spread of germs and keep you and your family safe!!!! your house is supposed to be your safe space that you can relax in, and if you're touching bus handles and walk buttons and stair rails and door handles that a thousand other people have touched and then coming home and touching every surface of your house with those same unwashed hands that have just picked up everybody's mystery germs, you're going to spread that all over your house and then you're going to get sick. if you wash your hands first thing when you get home then the germs are gone immediately and your space stays clean. this was true before the ~ongoing pandemic~ and it is even more true now. if your hands get dry then put lotion on. no excuses I want to see everybody WASHING THEIR HANDS. )

A not gentle reminder:
Influenza is AIRBORNE
Tuberculosis is AIRBORNE
Measles is AIRBORNE
COVID is AIRBORNE

YES, wash your hands.
But also wear a MASK.
You can't wash the air you breathe.

Had some unmasked labourers wandering round DS Towers earlier today. Sure hope I don't get COVID, like the last time I had an unmasked labourer repairing something here!!!!!

( ID: No one has been complaining about hepatitis B because...the vaccine prevented it. Changing the policy now is like unplugging your refrigerator because you're proud of how cold your milk is. )

Vaccines help.

I don't understand why ya'll wanna listen to someone that looks like milk that was forgotten outside in the summer heat.

( ID: Tumblr user nitewrighter: We talk a lot about "if you're sick stay home from work" but I feel like we also have a lot more control over "If you're sick stay away from that social function." If you're sick, stay away from that social function. If you're almost sick, and going to this social function is going to wear you out and probably push you over the line into actually sick, you should probably stay away from that social function and get some rest. If your kids are sick, don't drag them to the function. Stay home. Put a funny movie on. We do not need to perpetuate this culture. We do not need to have our kid's cold turn into Grandma's pneumonia just to keep up appearances. We do not need to have our kid's cold turn into 20 other kids' colds just to participate in a craft at the library that you could easily replicate at home by googling for 2 seconds. )

AND IF YOU JUST GOT OVER BEING SICK. Very important, especially with stomach bugs.

STAY HOME.

Screenshot einer Instagram-Story eines Content Creators: „Schleppe seit letzter Woche Erkältungssymptome mit mir rum, aber es ist „nicht doll genug" um wirklich liegen zu bleiben. Heute Morgen aber wieder Hals, Kopf und Gliederschmerzen. Also bleib ich auf der Couch. Habe aber später noch einen Look für euch.“

Die Erkältung im August; wer kennt sie nicht?

( ID: Tumblr user crazycatsiren: You know what? My ancestors would have wanted pasteurization, vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants, birth control, psychiatric medications, pain management, anesthesia. My ancestors would have wanted to be able to keep their loved ones around longer, and not lose them too early/too soon to childbirths, injuries, bacterial infections, mental illnesses, and diseases that are curable and/or preventable in our modern day life. Modern medicine saves lives. Tumblr user yarrowthewitch: In fact, we know they did want these things, because they invented them. They gave them to us out of generations of struggling to understand and make use of nature itself. "Ancestral knowledge" includes the unglamorous things like germ theory, the functioning of the immune system, and how to manufacture lifesaving vaccines. It's not just magical or mystical or remote, it's present in our lives at every moment. It's the reward of human connection: the sum total of human discovery and the boundless ingenuity of human invention, surrounding us at all times with absolute miracles made banal by their familiarity. If we reject modern medicine, then we reject all the labors and trials our ancestors went through for us; we reject our very nature. Please, for your ancestors' sake: vaccinate your kids, and take your goddamn medicine. )

It all saves lives and prevents people from being harmed bad out dated practices.

I still can't believe we've just stopped talking about covid. it's so surreal to watch it destroy people's lives and most people have no idea what's happening. I can't believe we're putting kids in the position of getting covid over and over again. if you have new weird symptoms or conditions popping up seemingly out of nowhere, it could very well be as a result of having had covid. if you're collapsing into bed at the end of your workweek, bone tired, it could be because of having had covid. it causes multi systemic issues, damages blood vessels and the brain, triggers the development of chronic conditions and autoimmune diseases and more. pots and mcas are really common. symptoms can look a lot of ways because the impact of covid is multi systemic. I know this is alarming. but I gotta say, having had postviral illness for many years, getting started on treating these things has improved my quality of life significantly. there is no cure for a lot of it, but life can still be made better with the right medicine.

The shit makes me so tired.

Tumblr user wizardarchetypes: again while we're on the topic: it always bears repeating to everyone who will listen that several years ago when i unfortunately caught covid from a roommate, i had mild cold symptoms for several days and was not allowed to take off work without a positive covid test. i used a rapid test every day for five days. i tested positive on the fifth test on the fifth day of symptoms. i was contagious that entire time. none of my coworkers wore masks, but i wore a well-fitted N95 every day. i protected them, and none of them got sick. i wish that the same care and courtesy were extended to me, as the immunodeficient member of their team, but i was glad, regardless, that the spread stopped with me (barring asymptomatic infections, which is always a possibility). i tell a lot of stories about the times i've narrowly escaped covid after high-risk exposures, protected by my mask, but here's an example of my masking protecting others. masking is community support. masking is mutual aid. masking is disability allyship. masking is class consciousness.

There is no doubt in my mind that masking and social distancing (along with improved air filtration systems and other protocols) helped minimize the spread and got us through the worst.

And it's really frustrating to see people deny the efficacy of those things now.

A stylized image of a medieval plague doctor takes up most of the page. The text reads "Its 2025. Do you really want to die like a medieval peasant."

Last chance for sticker pre-orders. Get an anachronistic plague doctor and call people out on their bullshit. #zines #stickers #resistanceart #covid #disability #queerart #transart #wearafuckingmask

We Need to Talk About The Plagues by Elliott Junkyard, the title is in block letters with the words "the plagues" in red. The author's name is in smaller hand written black font.

Page one: At the top six eggs in a carton, they have various expressions of concern. The speech bubble says, "Things are not great right now." At the bottom, a broken egg shell and egg labelled H5N1, the speech bubble says, "They're probably going to get worse."

4 days in hospital, discharged days b4 Christmas after 50+ tests. Home, 7-weeks on prednisone. , Roundface/awful symptoms. That was my xmas gift from you Mr Maintenance Dude. Thanks for ruining my past 2 months! Was told it could take a year for swelling to go away, if at all. 😥 #wearafuckingmask

We protect each other.

Stop the spread, protect your neighbors and your identity -- mask up.

Today marks a full week of being sick (7 days), and I'm still not better.

Was finally able to eat solid food though.

That didn't last long - the cougher is back. Why can't I ask the staff to ask her to put on a mask??!! Such a wimp. #WearAFuckingMask

Text reads, “Don’t forget to mask up if you’re getting together this Christmas!” Below the text, a person is holding three gingerbread people up on a string.

For fucks sakes.

Let me say in a way that the crayon chewers can understand it.

VACCINES DO NOT FUCKING CAUSE AUTISM.

Get your family vaccinated and wear a fucking mask.

Would be lovely if people cared about themselves and others, but alas.
#wearafuckingmask

the fact that we only have "Herculean task" and "Sisyphean task" feels so limiting. so here's a few more tasks for your repertoire icarian task: when you have a task you know you're going to fail at anyways, so why not have some with it before it all comes crashing down. cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won't listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start ( most often witnessed in customer service } feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandreaen task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.

Oedipal task: Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. Trying to solve a problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve. Odyssean task: you'll complete it but it'll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini adventures. Pandorean task: Some people fucked around and now it's your job to make sure they find out.

Talking to people about how COVID damages their immune system somehow hits all of these.
