@Mich874Song Saying there are only a few dozen deaths is to basically claim there is no burden. Excess deaths have continued to be elevated, they just aren’t attributed to Covid anymore. You are an example of what the tweet was about.
If people weren’t in denial of Covid, they would argue that the burden of letting it spread is not worth the effort to do anything. But they aren’t arguing that. They are arguing that there is no burden, they are claiming to not see it, because they are in denial.
I mask in public still because no one has given me any convincing scientific evidence that getting repeat COVID infections is safe or sustainable for health, especially brain health 🧠
It is not an outlandish request to ask for governments and health leaders to acknowledge, educate about, and deal with Covid19.
This is bare bones public health 101 type stuff, it’s supposed to be a given that our leaders try to stop the things that harm the public.
Covid is one of the leading causes of new chronic illness, so why is nothing being done?
How many here can raise a hand and say they know someone who has Long Covid but the person you know never makes the connection to covid?
I'll go first I am willing to bet I know more people then I have fingers on both of my hands.
@chantz_y I don’t experience that at home but my coworkers go out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome because I’m covid aware. All my solidarity 😷✊
Invest in good quality respirators.
Get air purifiers for your home.
Support clean air groups in your neighborhood.
Hand out masks to the unhoused and those who can’t escape the elements.
No one is coming to save us.
We must show up and save each other.
We’re still fighting to help anyone who will listen.
We’ve been left by the wayside, but we haven’t given up.
Everyone is at risk from wildfire smoke.
Everyone.
You can’t choose to not breathe.
We share the air and we need to start caring about the quality of that air.
We are still trying to arm people with the tools they need to keep themselves and their families healthy.
We’re handing out N95s.
We’re supporting mask blocs.
We’re teaching people how to build corsi Rosenthal boxes.
We’re educating about the health risks of wildfires.
We had 6 years to adopt clean air standards
We had 6 years to normalize masking
Society chose denial instead
Now as wildfires rage & the air turns to poison … people are left unprotected
Covid cautious folks are still trying to protect those who’ve ignored them for years.
It blows my mind to see the masses in denial and then bullying the ones that are doing community care by masking. This is the worst timeline to be living in.
