We appreciate Sophia Bush using her platform to share her experience with Long Covid, and requesting that everyone help support by simply wearing a mask! 😷❤️
Guys...it's wild to me that when I share basic public health protocols-from doctors-people immediately want to jump in with opinions rooted in flat out misinformation. Covid is NOT a flu. It's a serious virus that causes incredible damage to the body, and can often have lasting, debilitating effects. This summer I had to leave a job for the first time in my entire life because my post-viral syndrome was so bad that I thought I was going to die and my doctors forced me to stop working and actually recuperate. I spent almost three months in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices and specialist clinics in England ans the US (so thankful for my union healthcare here at home @sagaftra) and I'm so lucky that I made a full recovery (I'm now on a medication that I never had to take before, maybe forever, but I'm so fucking lucky to be healthy again) And after that ordeal, it's not lost on me that so many folks around the world who've gotten sick since the pandemic broke out are NOT so lucky People who are immune compromised. Folks who are now chronically ill, post-infection, who may never recover. People who can't work or care for their families. People whose immune systems have been so broken down by this virus that they're getting other illness diagnoses that will change their lives. It's not a joke. And knowing all of this, you really wanna yell and send wildly rude messages about wearing a fucking mask? Miss me with all of that. It's not hard. It's not some huge inconvenience. It's a literal act of BOTH self-preservation and community care. So if you love your neighbors? Your coworkers? Your families? Maybe...act like it? I think we can all take a breath and be a little kinder to each other. We can all take a moment and choose to care for each other. It makes a difference. The world is so hard for so many people. There is so much suffering everywhere. And this is something we can all do try and prevent some more of it. If we all tried to make it just a little easier?

The CDC has updated it's wastewater chart, we find it to be much more readable :) Predictably, wastewater levels are high at the moment - stay safe out there all! 😷❤️

The Glasgow Women's Library in Scotland is showing phenomenal advocacy by starting masked hours on Friday afternoons!

They created this policy IN RESPONSE TO FEEDBACK! If you have a spare moment, reach out to your local library (or another local business) to see if yours will implement it too 😷❤️
An Instagram screenshot from @womenslibrary that reads, "On Fridays, we wear a mask. We recognise that Covid-19 is still with us. We therefore want to ensure that immunocompromised people feel that they can visit Glasgow Women's Library at least during selected days and hours. In response to feedback, we will now invite visitors to Glasgow Women's Library to wear masks and to observe social distancing on Friday afternoons between 1pm and 4.30pm. During this time, you can expect that staff and volunteers will also wear masks when moving around the building, unless they are exempt. If you do not have a mask on arrival we will offer you one."

We have mad respect to the artists and musicians who encourage masking at their events, to protect not only their own health but the health of their attending fans.

x.com/The_Anchores...
Screenshot of a tweet from @The_Anchoress. The text reads: "We're in the midst of a Covid wave. With 3 shows remaining we are asking everyone to consider wearing a mask if you're coming to Cardiff, Cambridge or London. We will also be running 2 @SmartairUk Mini Blasts onstage and backstage but please do your bit to keep everyone safe 😷" Attached are two photos of musician The Anchoress. In the first photo she is pointing two fingers and looking towards a Smart Air UK filter. The second photo depicts The Anchoress on stage - bathed in blue stage light, she is wearing a 70s style blue suit with large lapels and flared legs. Her hair is red with bangs and half pinned up.

The only thing better than celebs exhibiting community care by masking is finding creative ways to still have great photo ops! 📸

Kudos to Wil Wheaton and his wife Anne for continuing to mask, and finding ways to have fun with it 😜

A screengrab from Wil Wheaton’s instagram. Wil is at Comic Con wearing a black N95/KN95 mask, but holding up a sign depicting the bottom half of his face on a popsicle stick in front of the mask so that his fans can still get a photo that includes his full face! The idea came from his wife, Anne.
