@froglet80 There are upwards of 36M Americans with LC. We’re 2-3x more likely to experience evictions or foreclosures, which leads to more severe disease or death. We already have a disease that is destroying our T cells and people experiencing homelessness are already at risk.

Usually I feel like there is something, some resource, some sort of…anything. An option. Not tonight. Tonight I have 7 BinaxNOW tests that are entirely useless. Invalid. Unusable. I’m out of money, time, patience, energy. We do not have the tools. 1/

@hope_rebel94 @laurenancona I agree completely! And our public officials at the time assigning racial slurs to the virus really should’ve been hate crimes. I can’t believe how poorly everything was handled and we just let it happen.

🚨STOP USING CUE TESTS🚨 5/10/24: The FDA issued a notice to Cue and all consumers to THROW AWAY Cue test strips. The company made changes to their tests and they may be producing false results.

Ok. So just consider for a minute: The argument for repurposing ART drugs for C19 is two-fold here: 1. ART significantly increases the lifespan of the average HIV patient. Not a month or two, but DECADES. 2. ART PREVENTS new HIV infections - as much as 96% effective.

@DonEford I don’t think it’s a huge secret or that it’s unknown. They’ve sequenced it and been transparent about the fact that it was traced back to the Military Games in mid October, but the first case officially recorded by the govt was Nov 17.

@pot8um 100% can smell it beforehand. Would love to see a poll on ND v NT and smelling rain v not smelling rain. Sort of expect a fair overlap between ND and being able to smell rain.

For the 3rd time just a few weeks, my landlord decided they'd unlock my door without warning. Today, they brought along 2 ppl from ConEd. All 3 were COUGHING and SNEEZING, and my landlord was SHOUTING at me, "You MUST let us in for just 5 min!!" ... "Over my LITERAL DEAD BODY!"

Think I have a PE. It’s been 4 days. Have done 2 telehealth urgent care visits and taken blood thinners that I shouldn’t take. BP at 213/114, pulse ox 67, HR 135-162. Still feel safer than being in an ER. Odds that I’m in the 2/3 that don’t die from this? #LongCovid

STOP EXPECTING YOUR GOVT TO PROTECT YOU. These are the same shit people that brought us "vax and relax" and "you do you." They left us to die. We can act surprised when they announced these asinine decisions, or we can start planning ahead and fighting back. Yeah? #FuckTheCDC

I am devastated—I saw with my eyes what’s coming from CDC tomorrow. My sources told me on what their rationale is based. And based on what I know (epidemiologist for 20 years)—it is complete bullshit crafted on thin flimsy data. I can’t believe CDC has such incompetent leaders.🧵

@BaneOfCovid Send it. I’ve been fighting this fight for 2 years. The law is on your side. If they didn’t give proper written notice, (there are specific guidelines for how that notice should be issued to you and what it must include), then they’ll need to reissue it. Clock restarts.

2nd memorial flyer has gone up in my building. IN A WEEK. 3 ambulances here today. Used what little energy I had to yell at a barefaced EMT outside after they declined an N95. No patience left for this fucking horseshit. Put a goddamn N95 on. I won’t die for you. #CovidIsNotOver

🧵If you aren’t wearing a mask or respirator then I don’t trust you. That’s it. You don’t care about yourself and you don’t care about others. I don’t trust you if you can’t be bothered to practice the most basic community care while Covid, TB, measles, RSV, flu, etc spread. 1/

@RealGayArbys I have long covid from asymptomatic covid. I almost wish it had been symptomatic bc I wouldn’t have gone nearly two years telling myself that it was other stuff. You don’t suspect long covid when you don’t know you had covid. And you don’t seek care for it either.

If your doctor has minimized your #LongCovid , I want their fucking name. Same for those that minimized mask-wearing, #COVID19 , and related topics. I want us to send their names and practice info to every covid-informed person on this planet, as well as the Senate HELP committee.

#UCLA encampment is not ok tonight either. Zionists have been tormenting the encampment for multiple nights - lab mice and cockroaches released, and now fireworks INTO the encampment, barricades torn down, reports of protesters being beaten and bear mace in use. Videos in QT.

@PplsCityCouncil Fireworks aren't legal to possess on campus. They need a weapons permit for that. I'd call the fire dept or report them to the arson hotline 1-800-47-ARSON if LAPD won't do anything.
