This is your regular reminder that Covid is airborne.
It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling people.
It’s a novel virus and we still don’t know the full long term effects, but what we do know is not encouraging.
Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.
Protect one another.

The new variant NB.1.8.1, nicknamed “Nimbus” is here — and it spreads through the air.Just like every COVID variant before it.

Panda Express walked back their employee mask ban in response to public outcry.
Starbucks is also attempting to prohibit their employees from masking unless they have a doctors note.
Get loud. Call, email & boycott. These ableist decisions are reversible, we just need to keep up the fight!

'Lab Leak,' a flashy page on the virus' origins, replaces government COVID sites
The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.

NO ONE should fear that wearing a facial covering could lead to being stopped, ticketed or arrested by police.
Masks keep people safe - from illness, from doxxing, from targeted mass surveillance, and much more.
Tell the Governor and the NY legislature to reject a statewide mask ban:

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask.
If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban.
Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

You can no longer order free COVID tests from the government. Despite still having $500 million worth of COVID tests stockpiled, covidtests.gov is closed.

Anosmia is something I don’t directly deal with as much anymore (although there are some things I can’t smell at all still) and rather deal with parosmia, which is a DISTORTED sense of smell rather than none at all. (2/2)
