Family testing w/o being asked before seeing high risk members: yayy!
Finding they’ve got COVID so we can’t meet, but they’re meeting up with friends for a couple of days anyway: booo!
They’ve normalized it as the flu (which can still be deadly) & now I know to be more careful around them. Sigh.

Excellent public health messaging from New York City!!
Be the happy peace sign waving emoji instead of the sick and sniffling emoji.
How can you do that?
Wear a mask! Ideally a respirator like an N95.
It’ll help keep you and your community safe.

I've been suspecting that there is much more COVID circulating than we know. The problem is that the scant data that we had keeps disappearing under this regime.

C19 vaccine info for fall 2025 Keeping my fingers crossed for Novavax.
For US folks interested in C19 vaccine availability in Fall 2025 (which should be all of us, but…) This is a really good resource.
Cliff notes: Novavax will very likely be available, you can self-attest as “at risk”, and likely to at least be available at CVS/Costco/RiteAid, perhaps more places.

The proposed cuts to Medicaid are an excellent reason to start wearing a mask again.
Covid is a mass disabling event. Don’t count on the system being there to support you when you’re chronically ill.

A bunch of coworkers left early today, all feeling sick in some way or another. Boss has had a cough all week. I’m the only one masked, as ever.
I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu”
Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell.
It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible.
It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

For those protesting please mask up to protect yourself and others. Yes covid is still here, still killing, still disabling, and yes you can get it or spread it when close to others. Don’t practice eugenics like the fascists we’re protesting against.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Is it fun when you’re the only one wearing a mask? Not really. Is it sweaty? Sometimes. Do you miss dining indoors? Definitely. Is it worth masking to minimize the chances of a debilitating lifetime illness? Without a doubt, YES.
It still blows my mind that everyone would rather be sick all the time than mask. I haven’t stopped masking and I don’t intend to. We live in a different world now. Your facade of normalcy is cracked with constant airborne illness.

To everyone who does mask: thank you. To everyone who does not: it’s never too late to start masking again. 😷
If you value your health, wear a mask.
If you want to practice community care, wear a mask.
If you want to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people, wear a mask.
If you want to fight fascism, wear a mask.
We need people as healthy as possible so they can resist. Mask up.

Want to repeat that if folks even wore masks just where it’s easy—in the grocery store, on the subway, sitting at your desk at work—we could likely knock down community transmission substantially, and make life a lot safer in places where mitigation is harder—like nursing homes.
PSA: One of those anecdotal data points that might be useful to know—more than a quarter of my mom's ward at her nursing home has contracted Covid in the last 10 days or so.

The reason you don’t hear about COVID much anymore isn’t because it’s no longer dangerous or a serious threat. The reason is because it very much is.

Why does “learning to live with covid” mean accepting repeat infections as inevitable?
Why does it mean throwing the vulnerable to the wayside, unsafe healthcare & mass disability?
That’s not “living with it”. That’s giving up
We need to adapt. Clean air, paid time off, masks in healthcare.
