Masks work.
I avoided #COVID for 3.5 yrs by wearing K&N95 masks indoors anywhere not my home.
Bet. 6/21 & 23 I took them off 3 times to make publicity appearances.
On 6/25 I got ill & tested +
I tested + for 19 straight days.
Still trying to recover.
Summer plans: ☹️

Thank you for this thread Ari. It was disappointing to say the least. The people clearly love me enough to know all the lyrics and stand in the rain, but not enough to wear a mask to protect me and others. It was an amazing show with great energy, but also I felt scared and sad.

man if you're an American and you can't be happy when your fellow American gets outta prison, and on top of that you profess to be a Jesus lover when Jesus specifically came to set the captive free, full stop, well, bless your heart, anyway, and good luck at the judgement call

@lindleyashline Can we get away from needing a straight sized person to validate our lived experience? They aren’t impartial, just privileged.

And McMasterU Children’s Hospital is at capacity.

[David Fisman @DFisman]

From a colleague in Hamilton, memo sent out at @McMasterU. I was requested to amplify as they cannot.

"As you are all aware, McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH) continues to face unprecedented pressures across all its programs. Inpatient occupancy is nearing 135 per cent...

This thread is a vital read for Toronto Folks

It's a sad state of affairs when healthcare workers are leaking memos to me to get them on twitter, because (a) they can't speak out for fear of losing their jobs and (b) the number of journalists (while non-zero) who will follow up on this is quite low.

Here's a @UHN memo:

[Jess @MeetJess]

There is a lot of virus circulating right now. Without proper testing, without transparent data, it’s hard to understand how dangerous it is. Not only should we be avoiding infection once, we should be avoiding reinfections as best as we can.
A quick 🧵

[fringe(ish) @fringeish]

@blackqueeriroh Sitting with this hard right now. Dealing with some chronic issues and sorting helpful data that might ease symptoms from straight up quackery is one thing, but looking for good unbiased data backed science is really difficult. Thank you for sharing this.

@YanzhongHuang "In 10 years the West will be brought to its knees b/c long-Covid..."

Is an extraordinarily dishonest translation of
"如果疫情再过十年，都不用我们打，全世界都趴下了"

I've added more accurate subtitles to the video.

#LongCovid is a microvascular disease.

“The first thing to go are your smallest blood vessels… This will not show up on x-ray or CRP test.. your labs will look completely normal”

Sending love to anyone who feels alienated for being the only one in a mask around them. You are doing the right thing. You can't know all the transmission chains you are breaking, but know your choices add up 💗

NO ONE in this country should be living in poverty. None.

I am not a fanboi. I am a participant-observer in a long-term ethnographic study of various subcultures.

Biden's announcement today is kinda smoke and mirrors.

Most federal prosecutions for marijuana are for sale or trafficking, not possession -- even when the amount of weed involved is very small.

The number of people covered by this "mass pardon" is approx. 6,000.

And thank you to @eugeneleeyang for being visually honest, and showing the world what disappointment, disgust, and anger truly looks like.

[fringe(ish) @fringeish]

450 deaths a day. And that doesn’t account for those being disabled by long covid.

[fringe(ish) @fringeish]

I’m tired of seeing my friends consider MAiD because their lives have become unbearably isolated as the world has decided disabled folks aren’t important. This is eugenics at play. And if that seems an old outdated word then you haven’t been paying attention.
