Hey there #COVIDisNotOver friends. My wife @mchristinebd.bsky.social and I put our heads together and made a flier about basic COVID-19 precautions - particularly for small events/gatherings. All the icons and entire flier are CC0/public domain/free to use: bit.ly/lesscovid 1/2
Flier titled "Reducing COVID-19 Transmission" with 7 colorful sections and icons representing the headings on it: COVID-19 Transmission 101, Mask, Ventilate, Filter, Go Outside/Hybrid, Test, Monitor. There is also a link for more resources at https://bit.ly/lesscovid, where you can also find a PDF with readable text in the document.

My wife, @mchristinebd.bsky.social, did a book event yesterday and I tagged along to watch and also set up 6 AirFanta 3Pro air filters to reduce viral transmission. (Five pictured, one more in back. Plug spots limited options.) We both wore high quality masks, too. #COVIDisnotover #AirQuality
Five AirFanta 3Pro air filters in mesh bags on the floor near a table and chair at the front of a room. Lots of books on shelves all around.

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

A few COVID-aware friends and I have been testifying at local Allegheny County Health Department board meetings to ask them restart COVID wastewater testing and this week they announced they would! A small but serious win for public health! Thanks, ACHD! www.facebook.com/AlleghenyCou...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I went to film an indoor event yesterday and wore a P100 mask + set up 8 AirFanta 3Pro filters to clean the air. Used the box fan to push outside air indoors. #CovidIsNotOver
Inside of Chevy Bolt car filled with seven visible AirFanta 3Pro air filters and a box fan. (There is an 8th AirFanta in the front seat, not visible.)

17K views of an MD and a psychotherapist discussing health anxiety for 2+ hours. Are people who still mask in airports & elsewhere displaying “maladaptive behavior”? The 2 experts admit they are “ignorant” about Long Covid; they also seem unaware that people are still dying (130/wk in US)

The next Covid Awareness billboard will be something to the effect of…

“Mask Up, Clean The Air, Protect the Kids, and Show We Care.”
#SafeSchoolsNow

If you like to help me continue my work and place some more billboards please share/donate. Every bit helps. YerAweSum!

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

It absolutely fucking floors me that we have normalized repeat infections with this virus - I know people who have had Covid 5+ times already! Wear a mask and fight for clean indoor air and better vaccine access because we all deserve so much better than this.

I’m begging folks to mask up for Pride events! Show solidarity with your disabled and high risk peers and make the event safe and inclusive for everyone.

Now more than ever we need to stay united and ensure no one is left behind.

Masking is resistance.

Masking is community care.

PSA Neck gaiters are not masks. Neck gaiters are not effective at stopping the spread of airborne viruses. Masks, especially well-fitting ones are effective at preventing infection. Conflating the two is bad because it can encourage politicians to ban masks for the general public.

If you aren’t working to stop burning fossil fuels at the local, national, and/or global scale, then you’re asking for wildfire smoke like this to get worse.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
