On this pride month, I find myself asking the same question over and over again: why, in what is supposed to be an increasingly enlightened age, are we still having arguments about whether some people deserve the same dignity, respect, and rights as everyone else?
Covid Tales, a 🧵
My 89 year old dad with advanced Parkinson's and a host of health issues was infected with Covid in March. It was not diagnosed for 4 days, the ICU Drs in the meantime convinced him he was aspirating (you're dying, you know), and he went on palliative care.
One-way masking doesn’t stop you getting COVID. People who are high risk for serious outcomes from COVID need, and have a right to, air-disinfection technology. Upper-room germicidal UV is a necessary and reasonable disability accommodation.

Long Covid is not just symptoms of the initial infection that last longer than 12 weeks.
LONG COVID IS THE HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT COVID TRIGGERED THAT KICK IN DURING THE MONTHS AFTERWARDS.
Sorry for shouting, but y'all seem hard of hearing.
