THREAD: The @WHO just declared a #Ebola PHEIC. A 40% CFR #hantavirus is scattered across 12 countries. Measles resurging. H5N1 circulating. COVID still ongoing yr 7. We asked Dr. Arijit Chakravarty what this convergence means. 🧵1/15
@1goodtern Flew Vienna to Toronto 2 weeks ago, seemed like 1/3 of the plane was sick. I have flown a few times over the past couple of years and there is always someone coughing here and there. But this was next level. I have never seen anything like it!
@CP24 So let me get this straight @fordnation , we are firing essential workers in education and our healthcare system is on the brink of collapse, but you thought it is important to spend an obscene amount of $ for this? Thank you for your leadership! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@fitterhappierAJ Some of us listened and took precautions and you are one of the main reasons we are still healthy despite our bruised social scores. I wouldn’t have it any other way! So thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

@rossettiStone1@flo_mask I have a high bridge and struggled with the fit at first, but worked way better when I lowered it to sit just bellow that. Also, sometimes I need to give it a minute for the silicone to “stick” to my face. And don’t tighten the straps too much. It can pull and open small gaps.
I am now going on 1.5 years of trusting my @flo_mask every time I leave the door. I have multiple in-home visits w/ clients - I go into their homes. Have been exposed to Covid + people on multiple occasions.
Good masks work! So I plan to rock this baby for a long time.
@PunkyBrewstuh I am sorry! If you’re able to take metformin it might be able to help with the inflammation & potentially help prevent long term effects. All other things are standard: zinc, vtmn D, cpc mouthwash, or black/green tea mouth rinse. Some swear by sun exposure. Good luck, friend!
@DEC0L0NIZE@flo_mask A big yes! My kiddo as well. We just came back from Europe and that was our trusted mask. Collected all the confused and disapproving looks because no one masks there but 🤷🏻♀️
If you have the sniffles or the “flu” but you never tested for Covid you might want to take a look at this! If you notice brain fog, fatigue, or anything weird at all you might be experiencing long covid.
A meta-analysis from Egypt of 125 studies involving over 4 million COVID survivors shows that months to years after infection, fatigue was the most common symptom at 43%. Around 27% of people experience cognitive impairment after COVID infection. 1/
@FeralHeather As a 🇧🇬 🇨🇦 this hits home! We are watching carefully what is currently happening south of us and are left without words! I only hope that there is a way to stop this madness and soon! Scary times we live in! Thank you for your beautifully written post!
@TheAtlantic@danengber No! Science has not failed us. Most of the covid cautious folks are more educated on Covid related topics that others are! Its everyone else who had decided to stop caring. It’s not fear driving our decisions to keep masking, it’s the knowledge backed by thousands of studies!
Big day for metformin impact vs Covid
