Speaking as a therapist, there is no such thing as “Covid anxiety.” The mental health field is built on ableism and most therapists don’t understand that viruses can disable or kill someone. You’re not “crazy” for not wanting to get sick. It’s called self preservation.

So you're telling me the same people extremely concerned about everything happening in the world right now can't even be bothered to wear a mask to protect people around them. and they keep on pretending the virus just disappeared. Okay, yeah, sure, that makes sense.

I’m going to need everyone who is rightfully outraged today to bring the same energy for every person who has been murdered and taken by ice. 2025 saw the most deaths (32) in ice custody since 2004. Ice began in 2003. These are just the deaths IN ICE CUSTODY that were REPORTED.

If you love your immune system, wear a mask.

And mask up! Shots aren't going to prevent you from getting sick, they lower the chances of you dying.
I don't know who needs to hear this but the flu going around in NYC is extremely powerful and gnarly. I have numerous friends who are in their late 20s/early 30s in peak physical health totally knocked out by it and were bedridden for more than a week. Get your shots.

So just to recap the 2025/26 influenza season. 1) We knew months in advance it would be bad. 2) We knew/know that basic airborne respiratory spread protection measures have profound impacts on influenza. 3) We did nothing. 4) Hospitals continue to struggle with load.

it never ever EVER had to fucking be like this. the collective denial of an ongoing airborne pandemic will have ramifications for decades to come. the kids, man. they have no one in their lives fighting for them, prioritizing their health, or doing right by them. fuck.
Recent research indicates higher rates of neurodevelopmental disorders among children exposed to #COVID19 during pregnancy.

Please folks, do whatever you can to break chains of transmission, wear that mask, forgo that party, protect the soldier to your left, be the part of society you'd like society to be for you. Be good people, make good choices, CHOOSE to do the right thing.

and the thing about covid is, you're not the exception. covid doesn't care that you workout, wash your hands or eat your veggies. it doesn't care who you are, who you voted for, or what you did for the first few months of the pandemic. public health is dead. mask the fuck up.
A new RECOVER study of 6.4M health records shows Long COVID risk has not decreased from 2020–2024. Incidence stayed stable across variants, reinforcing Long COVID as an ongoing public health priority. Read the study: https://t.co/RN66kGhyxM
