COVID is not just a cold - even if it felt like just a cold. #LongCOVID is a serious issue that we don't hear enough about. See🧵

Just to be clear, the WHO thinks we’re heading for a mass disabling event.

@w0x0f @aaronhoyland @HeyItsCherrry The new new reading is phonics (again, finally), so maybe the new new math is actually old math? But school math is still uninspiring. My kids prefer when I teach them, because I love math. 🤷‍♀️

We cannot keep asking our dedicated nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers to do more and more.

Expecting - requiring - individuals to fill the gaps in system failures is damaging to their health and, in the end, ours.

We need action & a plan

These corporations that keep posting record profit after record profit absolutely love you shills blaming the gov't for their record pricing.

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

@RealGayArbys The drivers are masked, presumably because it’s not okay to infect the wealthy clients. Their wealth entitles them to safety. But masks are optional for the wealthy clients, because their wealth also entitles them to carelessly infect the plebs. Pretty much sums it up.

@snkiz @andrewe @dbcolburn @AlexchaeAlex @TheBikingLawyer I absolutely agree that there is no excuse for this kind of thing. Ever. But I also know that "the system" fails victims all the time. More evidence is always better. If there were no video at all and only eye-witness accounts, that "should" be enough. But video helps.

[Lorna @lorna_no]

@snkiz @andrewe @dbcolburn @AlexchaeAlex @TheBikingLawyer The driver's actions in the short clip are obviously horrifying (and criminal). The longer video makes it "more obvious." It leaves less room for car-defenders to imagine far-fetched scenarios in attempts to excuse the driver.

[Lorna @lorna_no]

@snkiz @andrewe @dbcolburn @AlexchaeAlex @TheBikingLawyer Andres is saying the longer video makes the (car) driver seem "more heinous." This means the additional footage doesn't "justify" the driver - it does the opposite. You're on the same side.

What if the only hope to be found requires us to face the reality of where this path is headed, as hard and overwhelming as that might be?

What if the “doomers” are actually working on your behalf against tremendous stigma and backlash?

[Steven Salzberg 💙💛 @StevenSalzberg1]

I get it: @ScienceMagazine doesn't want to advertise the fact that a paper with nearly 1,000 citations might be wrong, and that their review process was flawed too. So they "publish" the refutation, but only in this hard-to-find format. Shame on them 8/8

Historian friends and colleagues: I'm looking for a needle in a haystack. Any idea on where to find narratives of pregnancy during Jim Crow? Of particular interest are experiences of pregnancy during times of racial violence (e.g., lynching).

[Hannes Fleischer @FleischerHannes]

Why am i writing this? Government and media are portraying Covid as a thing of the past. This is not true!
Covid disables people every day, steals years from lives, destroys futures. We need to be aware of this and act accordingly!

There is a pervasive assumption that if you NEED access, non-disabled folx will extend it. That if you ask them to change something, and it's a reasonable request, they'll simply enact the change. Masking for COVID is the perfect example of this presumption in reality. 1/4

[David Miller T.O. @iamdavidmiller]

We have had a Conservative dominated Council and Conservative Mayors for 12 years. They inherited a city government with an operating surplus and have left it essentially bankrupt with a $1.2 BILLION hole because they failed to raise the revenues need to invest in this city.

[Lorna @lorna_no]

@FurnessColin I don't really understand why the whole bottom row isn't masking. Is it because it is assumed they filter the science that they claim to trust *through* their trust (or lack thereof) in government? Maybe there's something about views of "authority" (and its locus)...

Think COVID is no biggie? Think again. Even "mild" cases May Include Lifelong Disability.

A concerning🧵with recent research on long COVID. This is so important. Why aren't we hearing public health messaging and data tracking for long COVID? @fordnation @celliottability @SteiniBrown @epdevilla How can you insist that schools are safe? @Sflecce #ontpoli #onted

I rely pretty heavily on my brain, and it wants to be protected from COVID.
