New study findings suggest that #Israel has been intentionally decimating healthcare, schools & other civilian targets in #Gaza.
This level of destruction was clear by November & has only gotten worse...

Join us at a protest at the State House W. Mar 20 @ 1pm
Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay. Protests in the US, UK, Australia, Spain & around the world.
Long COVID is a public health crisis that is killing people, preventing people from working, & excluding people from society.
Governments need to stop their denial & start acting!
4 years ago today, the WHO declared COVID a pandemic.
Today we will rightfully remember tens of millions who have died. We must never forget.
But we must also remember COVID is still killing, disabling, and excluding too many.
We are still in a pandemic. We still need to act.
Once again, @CDCgov is making terrible recommendations regarding the spread of Covid-19 & other respiratory viruses!
People with Covid infections often remain infectious well beyond 5 days, but CDC thinks 24 hours of isolation is plenty. Here's why nurses are outraged. 🧵 (1/5)
Everyone posting about @CDCgov proposed change to isolation TAKE YOUR CRITIQUE TO THE PUBLIC SPHERE.
➡️Write letters to the editor of your local papers
➡️Call and write your elected representatives
➡️Talk about this within your unions.

#BringBackMasks
CA's 1-day COVID-19 policies underscore the need for free PCR testing, improved indoor air quality standards in line with ASHRAE 241, keeping masks in healthcare facilities, and further R&D on long Covid treatment, next gen vaccines, and antiviral medication.
Like many others, we were shocked to hear about the new 1- day COVID Isolation policies in California and Oregon. We appreciate @MADPH for NOT abiding to CA's new policy.

“Testing and masking is needed because it’s our ethical responsibility to protect our patients,” - Infectious Disease physician @theodorepak
"This is a civil rights and equity issue," - Disability Advocate @killickwrites
The @MassDPH must #BringBackMasks in Healthcare
Just as there is never going to be a good time to stop wearing gloves in hospitals, I can’t understand why we oughtn’t continue using a basic simple intervention that results in the patients being safer,” said Colin Killick, of Disability Policy Consor.
