I’ll never forgive schools and healthcare systems that squandered the time they had to change their infrastructure, policies, and best practices.
Four years ago, I bought purifiers for my lab and wrote masking into our research protocols — only to be told I couldn’t require them later. Then came the kicker:
“You can’t require N95s. If you do, OSHA would have to inspect and fit-test everyone.”
So… protecting staff too well triggers regulation, but letting them breathe contaminated air doesn’t? We regulate the act of protection more than the act of exposure.
Meanwhile, Canada and the UK are finally admitting SARS-CoV-2 is airborne and once again recommending PPE in healthcare settings.
I may not study infectious disease, but I live in reality. In an airborne plague, I’ll keep holding a higher standard of human research ethics — because pretending it’s over is what’s unethical.

🚨🚨Well this is some scary AF! This lady was sitting peacefully at a town-hall in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho and after she spoke out these goons with no badges forcibly removed her. This is not America that we once knew, buckle up we are in for a long ride!

One of the best reads of the year from @MattMcGorry
“The science is really clear getting Covid over & over again is not good for anyone. It feels like where the climate movement was 10 years ago, where scientists were saying things & people were not really listening.” #LongCovid

Biden administration had four years to upgrade indoor air quality, educate the public about CO2 levels, standardize HEPA filtration, normalize wearing masks.
Instead they normalized COVID, allowed h5n1 to spread , and now they hand a loaded gun back to Trump

READ THIS.
It's serious.

"Reinfection was associated with milder symptoms but led to a higher incidence and severity of long COVID... the severity and incidence rate of long COVID increase significantly with the number of reinfections."

Just a reminder, N95s are a superior alternative to lockdowns
Always have been
Always will be
Better socially & economically, 2-way N95s allow near normal activity with near perfect protection
Used just in schools & hospitals, they could end the pandemic
Just saying
😊

Them: "If Covid were damaging people's abilities to fight other infections then we'd see a huge rise in illnesses right across the board"
The Other Infections: <see picture>
Them: "No, not like that"
ALT listeria spiking, legionella rising, drug resistant klebsiella going uuuuup, crypto parvum spiking, all carbapenemase producing bacteria spiking, measles going bananas, scarlet fever chart looking like monument valley, whooping cough looking like a space rocket launch, TB rising, John Cunningham virus rising very unpleasantly, shigella... rising

Still traveling. Still masking.
To protect myself & others.
To show I care & respect others.

Did you know Long COVID is on the rise in 2024? And that you are likely to get it if things continue as they are? See convo w/ @LynnParramore and @alvelda.

Much of the U.S. has entered a rapid C0VlD surge. Wastewater levels in Bay Area CA are *near all time highs*. Walgreens test positivity at its highest since February. Similar trend elsewhere/globally. C0VlD is back, and this time we have no hospital data to know the full story.

4 years ago the the public was told that the novel coronavirus could kill 100,000 - 240,000 Americans. Dr Fauci also cautioned that it could be more. 1.2 million people have died.

Targeting aid workers is a war crime.
Targeting journalists is a war crime.
Targeting hospitals is a war crime.
@POTUS must stop enabling war crimes, end the United States' complicity in genocide, and facilitate a lasting ceasefire now.

My kids repeat this every time I check in about their mask-wearing.
It’s not the mask they mind.
It’s wearing it alone.
And watching everyone else get sicker while answering questions about why they mask. It’s so sad & frustrating.
