The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.

It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”.

It paved the way for fascism.

Sometimes I think about all the people that said disease control would crash the economy… and then there’s today.

“Take off your mask so I can see your pretty face”

“You won’t catch covid HERE! You don’t need the mask”

“You seem anxious about Covid”

“Are you sick?”

Lack of mask mandates in healthcare mean patients are judged, mistreated & harmed when trying to access care

We can do better. Why aren’t we?
We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now
Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk.

As non-Americans, I think our best bet right now is to make our media and public figures stop SANE WASHING all of the crazy coming from the WH. Call it what it is in words that are appropriate: insane actions of a grifting doomsday cult that has taken over the US government.

Yes. Grim AF.
Hating the slight insinuation in the media reporting that this was Trump *and* Zelensky shouting and finger-pointing and, worse, that Zelensky may need to eat humble pie.
No. No. No.
This was an ambush. Pure evil.
Zelensky was dignified but wouldn’t fold. They hated him for that.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.

See how it works?

Also having to answer the question: "if COVID is still around, why aren't we hearing about it anymore?"

I didn't expect my job would include counseling patients on the failures of the media.

Prior to Covid it was normal to mask in the NICU. People understood that premature babies are as vulnerable as they come and need to protected.

Now? Gowns & gloves but no masking.

The damage caused by anti mask rhetoric will be felt for years (possibly decades) to come.

I've visited six hospitals this week.
I've actually seen more people in masks than I have in 18 months.

But most of the masks have been ones that aren't designed to protect against spread of airborne disease. They're not the solution.

We need to use the right tools for the job.

Yes that’s exactly what’s going to happen. 1 in 3 nurses have long covid symptoms now. This is a really serious situation. There are going to be huge labour gaps. They aren’t doing anything to prevent it.

None of these hospital trusts have encouraged face masks before a critical incident has been declared, just afterwards.

Like putting on the parachute after you've hit the ground.

1,100 patients in hospital every day last week. 1 in 5 are likely to end up with long covid, that’s 220 patients needing long term care. Much cheaper to mitigate hospitals This is part of the reason the NHS is under such a constant strain. COVID happens 365 days a year! @wesstreeting.bsky.social

The additional strain on top of the social care problem is caused by #COVID. COVID is causing a continuous cycle of health problems and immune problems leaving many open to more infections. We urgently need #CleanAir & masks in healthcare. It’s unsurprising as we are still in an official Pandemic. 🧵
8 major hospitals have declared critical incidents in the last 24hrs alone.

Some of the 100s of patients stranded on trolleys, in corridors & in the back of ambulances will likely die there.

This isn’t normal, inevitable or attributable to viruses alone. (1/2)

How the holy flaming shirtballs do they not mention that ambulance delays are at their worst during the peaks of spread of Covid and Flu?

This is a good intervention. Having said that, I am sick and tired of the reactive nature of these mask recommendations. It was patently obvious a month ago that flu was going to peak around now. That was the time to act. Always behind the curve. Always.

If I had understood airborne transmission and aerosols as I do now, I would have masked way before the pandemic started in enclosed spaces.

I would have saved myself many infections that made me miserable for weeks every year.

It's brutal how often I hear, in the hospital, "COVID is here to stay" from leadership as an excuse not to do anything better about it. People don't say "STIs are here to stay" "cancer is here to stay" "heart disease is here to stay" "concussions are here to stay" etc.
