So hey here, I’m a person w/ an actual degree in African American studies who still works in the field.
This woman is wrong.
‘Woke’ is a decades old slang term for ‘to be awoke’ to situations amongst African Americans dating back to the 1930s but popularized in the 1960s.
3+ years into a pandemic, the general public is still generally confused about what to do when they test positive for COVID19.
So let me walk you through what I, an infectious disease epidemiologist public health nurse, am doing since I tested positive on a rapid antigen today.
Will the Canadian government or any others actually step up and warn its population about the real risks of Covid?
Or are we going to keep pretending it's over? That Long Covid doesn't exist? There's still no cure and each reinfection can disable or kill you.

This is a brilliant segment by the @Todayshow about the direct connection between catching Covid and the raised risk of a heart attack.
I had to keep pinching myself to check it was real and I wasn't dreaming.

« When we choose- whenever we choose- to get COVID under control, there’s an exciting new world awaiting us. One, not only without constant COVID reinfection, but where our kids can grow up free of colds, flus, RSV, and many other common bugs » https://t.co/tuq7cxcje9
I’ve been thinking a lot about changing attitudes about smoking in our society and parallels to COVID and surprisingly, I feel somewhat optimistic. Given the timeline from: 1/5
@MetroBunnyMtl That is a fair, and reaonable point... however headaches getting progressively worse by the day isn't something that can be brushed away either :( it is a shame how the CAQ (and other conservatives provinces for that matter) have totally bungled the healthcare system.
