Not having an indoor mask mandate denies many medically compromised of us accessibility to preventive health care. My dental office is mask optional. I'm 54, with an underlying condition. I do need preventive care just like anyone else.
I'm disabled, & can't go to a protest.

Bring back mask mandates in medical and dental offices, please. Many vulnerable people are foregoing preventive medical care because it's no longer covid safe.

Columbus Day marked as "Indigenous People's Day" in my calendar. Columbus and his ilk were responsible 4 horrors. Besides, Vikings b4 him.
I pray every day that I can maintain my dental health during this time of lack of care until politicians either come to their senses, or that the pandemic really ends. How long will either take?

pandemic just exacerbates these feelings of exclusion & not part of society or a family. I am very alone, & feel very alone. Pls don't come at me with "You're never alone" cliché bc that's not true. I try to remain spiritual in my own way, & my kitty helps a bit. But, it's been

practical for me to age as an ill person so alone so much of the time (98%). I do have small pleasures in my small world, of course. But, over time, year after year of this... I'm not sure it's a way of living that interests me. It's just where I'm at right now. And, again, the

Largely intuition of course, but I've been telling my friends for at least a year that there is no real immunity against covid. I'm not happy that my intuition has been validated. 😫

If you're fundraising and donating money to part of a military effort actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide, scrutiny is warranted.
The tanks are two streets away from us, so we decided not to leave and stay home. We will all continue to live in it, or we will all die as martyrs in it. Forgive us, even if we leave, remember us. We are not numbers.

A lot of people don't know that if you see someone walking along the highway,that is an emergency. It should be reported. Or, if you see livestock or horses loose on a highway. You have to use your judgement, but 911 for a kid selling bottled water? That's a "bit" over-reactive.
@MeetJess
Every adult needs to be concerned about this. Dementia development is on a spectrum, no one knows where they are on that spectrum-chronology (until measurable sx start). This is very bad, & I suspect this is what has happened to my father since his "cold" around Thanksgiving. 😔

I also like asking for directions & looking at a map!Once I was w/someone & we need directions to closest post office. She asked her phone thingy (Alexa?) & w/out result. I asked a guy walking thru parking lot,& he led us there. Then we all waved good-bye. Also, he was very cute.

This is what, I believe, is going to happen to my father. I just talked w/my sister to make sure when/if he is hospitalized I have a chance to say goodbye via video. Many really have no clue how fast this can go. Ppl around my father are taking ZERO precautions (except vax).
I'm so grateful to these heroes. It's sad, though, that this group's number of participants doesn't represent the thousands upon thousands of us who are still sick with post-viral illness. We are cheering you on from our beds and sofas!

If anyone was going to do something about anything since November 2016, it would have happened by now. I think the answer is: "probably not". Maybe "thoughts and prayers". It's weird that the US would even need an external source of natural gas. Huh? 🤔
Um, holy shit.
Do they not realize that doing this is basically the equivalent of hog-tying someone. This person needs their arms & hands to propel themselves. This is unreasonable & excessive. Is this even legal!?!?

Biden has also lost the vote of many who are disabled, clinically vulnerable, immuno-compromised. By saying "the pandemic is over" when he did, made our world more dangerous by pretending to the public that it was, indeed, over.
Gaza could cost Biden the 2024 election.

A doctor can lose their license if they give (esp a cardiac patient) the wrong advice. In an ambulance they can resuscitate and have a defibrillator. Also, sometimes paramedics ride along with high risk cases, and they are permitted to administer meds/IVs. EMTs are not.

Because, Grace, you need to go learn history of mecfs. Alas, CBT is horseshit for these illnesses. It wastes what precious energy we have, & continues to detract & distract from much needed biomedical research & tx options. It's a comfort zone for an indifferent medical business.
