“If you’re COVID conscious, they want to psychologize you, stigmatize you, threaten you, until you “go back to normal.”
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.

Whoa. This quote hit me hard: “At one point in Pluribus, Carol is speaking to the Hive Mind, in the body of an authority figure. He assures her they are going to “figure out what is wrong with you,” and when she asks what he means, he replies, “so you can join us.” “

This invisible disabilty affects millions of people, yet it is fiercely denied by society. I had a mild version of long covid in 2022 and do not want to risk getting it again, so I mask. People get triggered by that but not by the ways this condition is stealing the futures of so many kids.
Long Covid Is Real -- And It's Changing an Entire Generation
Long Covid is affecting hundreds of thousands of kids in America, and many doctors and schools refuse to recognize their illness.

Carbon offsets, though widely used, often fail to deliver real emission cuts. They undermine global climate goals by enabling polluters to avoid reducing fossil-fuel use.
Carbon credits are failing to help with climate change — here’s why
The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed.

The Covid vaccine rollout across Canada, but especially in Nova Scotia, is about administrative ease, not infection control, population health, or public health. We know there's an annual wave around September, yet nothing changes. Another year of failure.

This is the Nova Scotia Government's health care "fix." It's irresponsible, and demonstrates a complete disregard for Nova Scotians and their health.
