The most punk rock thing you can do is wear a well-fitting high-filtration mask.

High school kids and their moms everywhere are posting into the void on Reddit and Facebook about Long Covid symptoms and somehow we are still pretending this is normal. And not a single mention ever of Covid or Long Covid.

Meanwhile on Reddit (17 y/o):

“I’VE BEEN SICK FOR 6 MONTHS… WHAT THE HELL”
“STILL HAVE A FUCKING COUGH”
“Now I have a cyst in my spleen! GOOD LORD!”
“doctors keep saying im fine… when I am pretty sure im not”
“MY MOTHER IS ALSO STILL MAKING ME GO TO SCHOOL... DAWG I CANT EVEN GET OUT OF BED HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO STUDY?”

Meanwhile on Facebook:

“Does anyone have any idea why a 15 year old… feels like he has to keep taking a deep breath?”
“We thought it was allergies but this time it started in December.”
“Doctor said everything was normal.”

The kids are not okay.

We just decided that “fine” means “still breathing.” 🫠🫠

@TheAtlantic @danengber atlantic can you show me the body of evidence that suggests catching severe acute respiratory syndrome repeatedly is fine? cuz i havent seen it

@TheAtlantic Top financial analysts project that Covid will kill as many Americans as lung cancer in 2025.

Why not an article on that?

@TheAtlantic @danengber What a stigmatizing and shitty article parading as a “neutral take.”

The minimization and focus on Covid conscious people’s “anxiety” when we are more up to date on the science than the vast majority of people is really vile.

"i cant handle the slightest amount of social pressure for the greater good of my community" is not a line of thinking that is compatible with any progressive social movement really

if you dont wear a mask youre not ready for a revolution and you should stop lying to yourself that you are.

[L., MA @leslieleeiii]

If you aren't masking you've already started.

[Allium @snacklesbian]

first off yall are fake ass communists based on the way you (de)value humans. but second, you are so committed to hating disabled people that you don't even realize or care that you're *creating* more of us from within your ranks, including some of your most dedicated people

[Allium @snacklesbian]

i was basically doing movement work full time before i got sick. yall lost someone who had decided to dedicate her life to this shit. you want able-bodied people so bad you gotta keep em that way.

[Arron Johnson @MeirnonArt]

@becomingidea @UghitsAnjali If you actually believe that masking is a core part of community care, like it is, then you ought to demonstrate that belief in your outward appearances.

You took the picture to demonstrate politics. If your politics does not include community care, why should I care about you?

[just fucking wear it @dee_bluehead]

@becomingidea @UghitsAnjali And from an opsec standpoint as well, what are you all doing to protect ppls identities? You realize we’re a week into a 2nd trump admin yet you *insist* on photographing & posting ppl showing their full faces like this, even if it means exposure to a deadly virus? Like what?

[Hanner @GangstHannah]

@becomingidea @UghitsAnjali Y'all have no fucking idea how Covid spreads and then you're acting like you're revolutionaries

Be fucking for real

You want to be seen more than you want to be safe and protect each other.

[Allium @snacklesbian]

i mean i can't read that qrt any other way than "yeah we're giving you long covid, and we're not gonna stop, shut the fuck up about it"

which is probably why they're all telling themselves that we're all exaggerating about how bad it is

[Allium @snacklesbian]

yall can't even see a single mention of long covid without flipping out i swear to god. yall wouldn't last a day in our bodies. hope you find out

[Allium @snacklesbian]

yall are out here giving people long covid and then judging them for having long covid

~80 studies on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 were published just today. They span topics like the occupational risk to healthcare workers, chronic lung damage, raised inflammatory markers in children and adults, amyloidosis, ongoing mortality waves… https://t.co/TyeO8CoKZy

Thinking about the necropolitics (the politics of “who may live and who must die”) of two stories dropping this week: a health insurance CEO being shot, and a disability-justice led pushback against the expansion of medically-assisted suicide laws.
