Ppl say they don't have to mask, it's their "personal decision"
But we don't get our own "personal air" in indoor public spaces. It's a shared resource. You're potentially polluting it if you don't mask up 😷 Why is this so hard
Get this. Internalise it.
It doesn’t matter if there is nobody else in the room.
It matters if someone HAS BEEN in the room, maybe many hours before you entered, and whether they were exhaling virus particles at the time.
Because the virus IS AIRBORNE.
SARS2 hangs in the air.

Serious question
How do you *nicely* tell ppl that, if they're not wearing masks in essential public places where others *have* to go (doc office, transit, pharmacy/grocery etc) - then they're part of the problem of spreading Covid, & they're contributing to death & disability?

How can I put this politely 🤔
If you're not wearing a mask in indoor public spaces? (doc office, grocery/pharm, transit etc)-- while C19 still circulates everywhere?

*Willing to spread Covd to others
*Willing to cause harm & death.

It's kind of messed up that some of us resort to telling ppl we're immunocompromised (even if we're not), as an explanation for being cautious. Because if you just say, "I don't want to get Covid," they think you're paranoid, brush you off, don't take you seriously 😣

If you’ve been able to keep up protecting yourself for 3+ years now, despite everyone else giving up and pretending it’s over, you have more resilience than 99% of people. It might not feel like it a lot of the time, but to do that shows an ability to adapt, which is resilience

You know, you'd think that this one *would work* on a lot of ppl (including my oh-so-lefty former buddies). But apparently it's convenient to trust the government if it means you don't have to continue modifying your behavior for the collective good 🙄

I wish people would let go of the idea that we have to get sick all the time, that it's "just part of life." An organ-damaging virus like Covid should NOT be compulsory

Welp I did NOT have this one on my bingo card for 2023 👀
The freaking WEATHER CHANNEL news site has better articles on the risks of Long Covid, vs public health agencies👇
Why is reporting this and NOT WHO or CDC
@who
or
@cdc
❓COVID-19 Reinfections Can Increase the Risk of Long COVID and Other Respiratory Diseases |

🙏 What is the best/latest advice these days for how to test out of isolation?
Friend's spouse is on day 20 of C19 infection. Still showing a faint pink line on Binax rapid
(so much for the 5-day BS from CDC 🙄)
How can they be *sure* the person is ready to leave isolation?
🙏

& yes, C19 is a potential culprit. All these ppl had C19 at least 1x or 2x, judging by what I could find on their previous FB posts
And they skew fairly young
I mean, 2 ppl dying "unexpectedly" in their sleep, in their 40s?
Heart attacks in 3 ppl, w/ a mean age of 45?

I have HAD it w/ the misinfo.
Today was the fvckin billionth time I've told someone *Covid doesn't always present w/ fever*
Parents w/ sniffling, coughing kids - not testing, b/c "it can't possibly be C19" 🤦♀️

Case in point: I'm making dozens of calls to dentists to screen them for aerosol precautions (most are a joke 🤦♀️). When I explain I'm asking these questions b/c I'm very high risk, or have an immocomp'd person at home, they're nicer
It shouldn't be like this, but here we are-

Aaaaand right on time ⏰ lots of neighbors are looking for rapid tests
"it got us"
"we got hit here too"
As if they were trying... they weren't 😒

@AndrewHewat
I'm guessing that when I eventually probably get Covid (despite unwavering maximum precautions within our ability), it will be the opposite of relief.
There'll be MORE burden, since multiple infections ⬆️ risk of health problems, less immunity
