Covid is arguably the biggest cover-up of the 21st century—and it’s being perpetrated right in front of everyone’s eyes. There are now thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies warning of its dangers, and articles on it are a simple Google search away.

Tim Kaine is probably the most prominent elected official talking about the very real threat and struggle of long COVID and he just consigned millions to being screwed with ACA subsidies expiring.
Sen. Kaine on his vote for funding deal
“I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct. 1, because I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed federal worker would say to me at church”

It seems crucial (and long overdue) that our national political discourse has finally shifted from an obsession with "the economy" to what actually matters: whether people can afford the basic things they need to live.

Another banger essay: “People may understand that COVID exists and is infecting people, but feel that “it’s here to stay,” “we can’t fight it”, and “I’d rather be with my family”- giving themselves up to the virus in order to join with the majority due to fear of isolation.”
Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:

"Pluribus" captures the isolation of COVID-awareness in a COVID denialist world
For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

Thankful we have each other in our small but mighty COVID safe community, & grateful for ethical scientists like @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social who early on & at great cost to themselves, put the hard truth out there abt this terrible virus—a truth that roughly 95%+ of people are still in denial abt.
Tern is right. It’s great having an informed online community that’s adapted to the ongoing pandemic reality and is doing everything possible to stay safe.
I know it’s been a tough ride, but please know you are not alone.

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.
Why? It was hurting their profits.
They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.
Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.
Profit over people.

My husband and I were at a busy mall yesterday wearing our N95s, and we saw only one other person wearing a N95). I was going to hug him but restrained myself (I embarrass my husband enough).
Please consider masking with N95s along with getting vaccinated.
I promise I won’t hug you either.
