covid is a worker's rights issue employers should be responsible for providing air cleaning and infection control policies covid-cautious people know individual masking is necessary, but often not sufficient when you're forced to be in unsafe workplaces all day

No. No. No. No. No. Stop it. Right now. No.

I want to share a cautionary medical story, especially for people with ME/CFS / MCAS / extreme medication sensitivity. 💊 A tiny change in a medication nearly destroyed me.... and I almost never figured out why. (1/8)

5. For example, if you're unfortunate enough to get norovirus, and then a month later a friend of yours gets it, you can describe to your friend exactly what his or her disease course is going to be like with a high degree of accuracy, based on your own experience.

3. In simulations I took part in long before the Covid-19 pandemic, diseases with symptoms that triggered the human disgust mechanism - symptoms such as disfigurement, vomiting, incontinence, bleeding, and convulsive syncope - were most likely to cause people to avoid infection.

2. First, none of its symptoms trigger the human disgust mechanism. Adrian gives a great example of this. The two key symptoms that distinguish Covid-19 from other common diseases are cognitive dysfunction and anosmia, both of which are *invisible* to other people.

1. I've said exactly this for quite some time. Expanding on Adrian's point here, Covid-19 has three distinct characteristics as a disease that enables it to be denied at a societal level.

“unalived” “graped” “self delete” the self censorship of words is so dystopian & straight out of 1984 that it makes me nauseous. stop censoring urself for an algorithm that may or may not flag u. dont undercut our language & devalue what u say & mean I cannot stress this enough.

Sick people may not go to an urgent care or the doctor, but they keep going to the grocery store thats for sure

More and more friends are ill with low or no fever and “never felt like this before” symptoms especially cough and malaise for several weeks. Exactly how colds hit me on and after chemo. It feels different and it’s impaired immune response to “normal” virus. It bodes very ill.

say her name. Christina Purdie. the victim of a potential NY serial killer that has been under NY radar for the last few months. starting who knows when. protect sex workers. protect women. and don't fucking refer to them as "missing stripper" when they have a name. say her

No. You are perfectly capable of reading two and a half books per month, and if you’re not able to purchase books you can easily get them from the library. What’s truly anti-intellectual is trying to discourage people from reading at a time when millions aren’t reading at all.

"Healthy" stuff like exercise and massage (even gentle lymphatic drainage) can absolutely destroy people with ME/CFS. I've experienced it with massage too. This disease is the opposite of life. I guess it makes sense that things that are good for life are terrible for us.

Celebrities are getting their nasal cavities fucking VAPORIZED and are having industrial sized air purifiers installed while requiring everyone AROUND them to be vaccinated and masked

He died after leaving a crowded waiting room because he wasn’t being seen. There’s many more like him. Many disabled and chronically ill people avoid the ER because they fear dying in pain in the waiting room. No one is tracking those deaths. They’re disappeared.

Alice Wong, a disability rights activist and author whose independence and writing inspired others, has died. She was 51. Wong died Friday because of an infection at a hospital in San Francisco, said Sandy Ho, a close friend who has been in touch with Wong's family.

You KNEW Alice was a disability activist, fighting for the disabled community, going hard AF talking about Covid and y’all are posting photos with her SMILING UNMASKED!!!! Y’all really don’t give a damn about disabled people. Alice Wong deserved better Wear a FUCKN mask!!

All these Covid- & genocide-denying writers & platforms are eulogizing Alice Wong & sanitizing her legacy in a final act of ableism towards her: because to them, a disabled person can’t be as radical, as principled, as generatively rageful as she was in life. She would loathe it.

I see way too many people honoring Alice Wong who also could have killed her with covid. Alice was A MASKING ADVOCATE too, y’all.

so, @jonstewart expects grocery workers, teachers, students, and others, to get infected w/ something that hit him that hard? Is he paying for their time off work or their medical bills? Does he advocate for paid sick days or basic income while enabling mass infection/eugenics?
