there are not enough words to express: IT IS MONUMENTALLY CHEAPER & EASIER TO BE ABLE TO PAY THE WEEKLY RATE (and ensures a roof over their head longer)

* There is no such thing as "just a flu". Viral infections are bad for us.
* Viruses are variable. Non-evolutionary, typological thinking does not work.
* Viruses evolve. They don't automatically get milder. More infections means more evolution.

* The immune system is not like a muscle and immunity debt is bullshit.
* There are various ways that repeated COVID infections could be causing short- and/or longer-term immunity theft, making people more vulnerable to other infections.

Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season:
🧵
* Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals.
* We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water.

Like...I guess it works, but are you sure there are no safer and less environmentally damaging tools to do that?

Great reminder of why masks are so important. Protect others and yourself, because you can’t always know you’re infected. 😷
#Covid I attended a meeting where Canadian stats show on average we have each had Covid roughly 3.65 times! And 1 in 81 have it!
It's not gone & the cases of Long Covid with its terrible effects are growing! You can develop it without even knowing you had the "simple" Covid 1st!

As we begin to head towards winter holiday season BS already, here’s your reminder the Salvation Army are pro-fascist, eugenicist, queerphobes.
Donate directly to mutual aids for queer, disabled, and BIMPOC fundraisers instead of Salvation Army’s bootlicking bullshit.

The Salvation Army really is the epitome of a certain kind of white conservatism
They prey on the most vulnerable. They happily leave the sort of people they don't like to die in the streets
But they smile a lot and don't cuss and say "Jesus", so they get to be respectable

Three weeks is such a long time, especially for a kid. Vaccines help keep children healthy and in school. “Unvaccinated children who were exposed to the virus will be “excluded” from school for three weeks, the length of time it could take for a measles exposure to cause symptoms, Bell said.”
Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks
At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.
