AI's great achievement is that after a century where artists, critics, and theorists came up with such a massive tent that practically everything can be considered art in the right context, it's managed to be art shaped, but not art.

I say this as someone Bernie used to fool, fuck you if you're fooled by Bernie Sanders' bullshit + believe this $10 billion "Long Covid Moonshot!" is going to happen.

Biden will cure cancer and Bernie will get his "moonshot", but an N95 and not a surgical for more than 30 secs is a bridge too far!
There's no difference between this and Joe Biden saying he's going to cure cancer.

And where's your fucking respirator, shithead?!

Part of why healthy people aren't afraid to get sick is- they think if they do develop long-term issues, they'll be able to go & get treated by doctors who will work day and night to fix them (as it was on House, M.D.) & don't realize there's a 99% chance they'll be told they just have anxiety

Hospitalizations and deaths are trailing indicators. We won't know what those numbers are for the acute infection stage of the current surge until at least February, and we won't know about disability deaths from long term harm for months.
Stop downplaying high COVID levels by saying "but look at hospitalizations & deaths." Yes, they're lower vs 2020, but they are still high. And it ignores the serious harms of Long COVID on many, and the disproportionate impact on higher risk people, who are locked out of society.

Even before long COVID, many patients w/chronic fatigue syndrome were prescribed exercise as treatment, despite telling their physicians that it actually made them worse. Now we're starting to learn why exercise can be so debilitating at a molecular & cellular level. www.npr.org/sections/hea...

In 2021, I gave testimony and evidence under oath in an Ontario courtroom that COVID was airborne and thus we need to take airborne precautions. The other side's expert was a doctor from Public Health Ontario who argued the opposite. I will never stop retelling this story.

If you’d like to wear a mask but are strapped for cash, we can help!

Our Request Sampler Pack contains the 7 masks available via our request program and is available, for free, through our charity fundraising store.

buymask.ca/samplers
@MoriartyLab has updated their info.

1 in 23 are infected in Ontario.

1 in 19 in Canada.

Seems like at least one in every class room, a few in the grocery store and definitely some at the workplace.

Mask up and take care!

It should be read by every policymaker, decisionmaker, and journalist on the planet.

To the people who say we need to get Covid to be healthy:

"Almost no virus is protective against immune diseases. Infections with viruses mostly contribute to the development of diseases or worsen them. Viruses do not help you develop a healthy immune response."

The hygiene hypothesis says exposure to germs helps kids develop healthy immune systems. But many viruses didn’t circulate as widely during the pandemic. Are there downsides to missed infections?

And yet some shitheads call me rude because I tell them saying it's okay to take your masks off if the CO2 is low is fucking dangerous with the most contagious airborne virus ever known! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
“Her brain fog progressed into what seems like full blown dementia.”

SARS-Cov-2 is NOT mild.

“I’m pretty shocked by the severity, she didn’t have this problem the first time ”

Remember, reinfection of #COVID19 raises your risk of organ failure and death.
