Anti-covid. Mom of two. We all wear respirators (i.e., protective masks helping us breathe filtered, cleaner air) in public indoor places to protect our health.

"Now, morally, this view is abhorrent. It’s also completely wrong on a practical level. As mentioned above, COVID infections are not harmless, but are directly harmful to anyone with a vascular system, a brain, an immune system, and organs (that’s you)."

It is not easy being COVID cautious. It's crap not joining in social events. It isn't enjoyable being the only person masking. It is tough keeping quiet when being patronised by people with zero knowledge. It is all EXHAUSTING. Solidarity to everyone prepared to listen to science & put others first

We'll reach old age. Many of them may not. I fear my four-year-old granddaughter will have dementia by the time she's 30. She's getting COVID almost every year. Our brains cannot sustain infinite COVID infections without serious repercussions.

“Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.”

Putting it all together:
- covid is airborne
- people are getting it repeatedly
- it’s wrecking immune systems

Please: mask, ventilate, filtrate, isolate, immunize.

It's not easy being cordial to people who know about the dangers of covid but can't be bothered to mask in group settings. Disappointing as fuck and someday ✨ everyone will be disabled✨ including you... Mask up to slow the eventual breakdown of your bodily functions from repeated covid infections 🙃🙃

“The Jiang study is a landmark-it captures, at population scale…many clinical observations:

SARS-CoV-2 is not just an acute respiratory virus. It’s an immune-modifying, vascular-damaging pathogen whose effects can be measured long after fever & cough have gone.”

A landmark new study shows COVID-19 isn’t ‘just a cold’: One infection left people with long-lasting immune damage, and those with heart disease lost up to 70% of key immune cells. Reinfections may wo...

Improving airflow really helps with airborne diseases (like Covid!)

For your next event, consider: can you open windows? Do something with the HVAC? Put in HEPA filters like Corsi-Rosenthal boxes? There's lots of options!
We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.
