22 months in, and I still can find more accurate info about Covid on Twitter than if I had to instead rely on articles in NYTimes by Monica Gandhi, New Yorker by Dhruv Khullar, etc, and official signs from my govt (all emphasize hand-washing) 1/

We need governments to:
- fund ventilation upgrades for offices & schools
- give everyone N95s

- educate public Airborne spread
- educate public LongCovid & PEM

If you ask someone to do something that benefits you (and not them, even though they’re the ones giving their time and expertise) if they say no, regardless of the reasons, please respect that and don’t push them.

Also normalize paying people for their time?

Corporate-funded efforts to downplay covid are using strategies straight out of the climate denial playbook, funding contrarian scientists, misleading petitions, social media bots,...

I'll never forget the feeling I had when I found out the fake white male LinkedIn profile I made with the exact same work history & education got job offers that never hit my inbox.
