Honestly trying to make sense of this:
Covid was just a cold & we overreacted & the public shouldn’t trust public health warnings or advice…
But Covid (the thing they warned us about) causes a “debilitating”chronic syndrome that is impacting my son, and I’m angry we’ve under-reacted to it…

If you are in crowded places with poor ventilation, #WearAMask.
Because it helps keep you and your community safe from #COVID19, flu and other respiratory illnesses.
And remember these other measures to help protect yourself and others from COVID-19, flu, measles and other respiratory illnesses:
-Practice hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette (cover your mouth and nose with a bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze)
-Keep a distance when possible
-Keep rooms well-ventilated
-Stay home if you feel unwell
-Get vaccinated and stay up to date with booster doses
Many mistakes were made with messaging, but the “Let er rip” (and keep on letting her rip) mindset is going to cost us dearly (and literally 💰)
And the idea that we should deliberately infect children as quickly as possible is proving to be devastatingly ill conceived.
I can't square the cognitive dissonance of those who insist we wildly overreacted to COVID... yet also obsess over “lab leak” + “gain-of-function.” If a lab accidentally released a virus no worse than a bad cold, then don’t we have much bigger fish to fry? 🤷🏽♂️
Working in a pandemic world is just listening to colleagues say “there must be something going around” on a weekly basis for years and trying to decide if you wanna remind them it’s covid or silently scream into the void again.
.@AOC is right.
CVS may own your pharmacy,
CVS may own your doctor,
CVS may own your insurance company,
CVS may own the middleman between your insurance company and your pharmacy, and they charge you at every turn.
We need to break up big medicine and lower health care costs.
being the only person masking on a flight in the middle of the worst flu season we’ve had in years is so confusing I genuinely don’t understand, being sick is SO MUCH WORSE than masking for a few hours it’s not even close, what the fuck is going on anymore
The economy is rigged against hardworking Americans. We have to fix it.
Democrats need to be clear on the kinds of investments that we want to make, how we’ll build them, and really fight for them.
That’s what the American people want and deserve.
@JillFilipovic Parents/guardians also need to do a better job at determining what their students have and how best they can avoid getting others infected. Too many times we hear "well my parents said I had to come in today because..."
Jane Fonda is right. Allowing one firm to dominate Hollywood will not only harm workers and increase prices, it’s also a threat to free speech.
This fight is far from over.
Instacart is worth $10B, but they’d rather bankroll a lawsuit than pay workers a living wage. My bill, Local Law 107, requires $21.44/hr, which is apparently unbearable for @Instacart’s owners, who seem committed to poverty wages.
