Dear new followers, thank you for following me but be warned: It’ll mostly be (sometimes profanity-laden) covid-awareness posts here.
I *will* try to post some art from time to time though.

Yes, I know you really don’t want to miss that special event you’re involved in and have been looking forward to, but if you’re horrendously sick, stay the fuck home.

On the one hand, it’s really a relief (and weird) that the usual back-to-school wave didn’t hit us very hard in this region.
On the other hand, it’s hard to convince people that Covid isn’t “over” when we’ve been in such a long (relative) lull.

Masking indoors in public spaces boils down to this for me now:
I love never being sick from airborne infectious diseases.
The last cold I had was in early 2019, with not even a sniffle since. The only thing I don't do is dine indoors in public spaces; a good trade for health.

Seeing lots of flu earlier than normal and COVID. Waiting for tests to come back BUT no matter where C19 ends up this is going to be a BAD FLU SEASON.
Mask up in public and while the shot may not turn out to be a great match it can still offer protection.
Masks on, sleeves up.

#Bluejays skipper John Schneider does not win AL Manager of the Year. Instead, it's Stephen Vogt of Cleveland.
I mean, mazel tov to him for #Guardians coming back from 15.5 games back, helped massively by a #Tigers collapse, but worst to first.
Vogt got 17 1st-place votes, Schneider 10.

That the virus was more dangerous than the vaccine was pretty clear 4.5 years ago, though an enormous propaganda machine led by our current medical establishment claimed otherwise.

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:

With regards to measles, the solution is simple. Vaccination.
With COVID, large science and public health accounts would have to start with admitting they were wrong.

Large science & public health accounts are sounding alarms over Canada losing measles-elimination status - good.
But the silence from them on long COVID has been striking.
Building trust as an infectious disease expert should mean caring about preventing all viral-induced illness

Those who minimized the impacts of COVID-19 would go on to minimize every other disease if rewarded for it. Big round of applause to Leana Wen, Ashish Jha, Zeynep Tufekci, and every other liberal who endorsed Marty Makary for FDA Commissioner! You really nailed it!
Makary just spewed disinformation about dementia, heart, disease, and many other things

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.
Why? It was hurting their profits.
They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.
Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.
Profit over people.
