According to the WHO clade 1 Mpox is now a GLOBAL health emergency, and the incubation period can be up to 21 days

According to the UK govt list of HCIDs clade 1 Mpox is airborne

In months there’ll be a lot of people with Mpox saying “but we didn’t know”

Yeah we did - mask NOW

The acute COVID infection affects the old much more than the young, but the burden of Long COVID will be carried by the young.

They have time to become infected again and again, and will suffer the chronic illness and the diminished lifespan.

“…more than 60% of people who contracted COVID-19 have neurological symptoms that impact their cognitive function and quality of life, even two and three years after COVID-19.”

I’m almost 5 years in and still declining. You don’t want Long Covid. https://t.co/CI7bo38um0

HIV takes 2-8 years to develop into AIDS.

HPV virus takes even longer to cause cervical cancer.

Studies already prove Covid causes organ damage and immune dysfunction now.

#LongCovid patients have been sounding the alarm since 2020!
(Pre vaccines.)

Why are governments silent?

Pleasingly, the number of Cholera cases has continued to fall since introducing water filtration.

We regularly review our settings with respect to Cholera. As a result, we have decided to remove all water filtration in non clinical areas. 1/

Maybe they ate unhealthily.
Or didn’t exercise enough.

Have they tried yoga? 🧘

On the left, a NYT article from June 2020. On the right, a journal article from June 2024. We know, we’ve known, we knew.

We still infected all the kids and continue to reinfect all the kids to this day.

“Every day of 2024 remaining is likely to have more transmission than today,” Dr. Michael Hoerger of Tulane University School of Medicine, “People should really be taking the rest of the year very seriously.”

“The wave of infections is actually higher than we saw last summer”

“Long-term effects of COVID-19 on endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and blood pressure in college students months after infection.”

We are heading for a cardiovascular disaster. And governments doing NOTHING to stop it.

So the UK, which is absolutely full of COVID right now (but it must not be mentioned 🤐) is warning about the risks of COVID if (and only if) they’re going to travel abroad.

The only sane response to all of this is laughter.

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

It’s just very strange to act as though you can’t be harmed by a virus that’s killed tens of millions of ppl in <5 years, can cause organ and brain and immune system damage, disables at a high rate and isn’t fully understood, and that you’re now expected to get twice a year

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

Hard to believe we're living in a timeline where a pandemic caused by a virus entirely new to humanity emerged and, 4 years on, societal ill health is soaring above where it was before the population contracted this virus and everyone blames it on everything other than the virus

[Victorian Department of Health @VicGovDH]

COVID is airborne & spreads when a person exhales very small droplets or aerosols containing the virus which can float in the air for a long time. Good ventilation & meeting up outdoors reduces the risk of spreading COVID. More info: https://t.co/HWSkL8NQ9j

This is the sort of Public Health messaging that we should be getting here in the U.K., especially as we are in yet another big Covid wave right now.

How about it @wesstreeting ?

[Dame Sa 🐝 3.5% @LongCovidHell]

Covid has left so many with ongoing heath issues, including organ damage.

Many young people look at death rates and think “I’ll be ok” but there’s a huge grey area between “dead” and “recovered”.

If you have ongoing symptoms, get checked out.

The Summer Wave of Covid remains a serious public health risk this week, with infection levels remaining VERY HIGH. Using the latest available data, we estimate that around 1 in 104 people in England are infected with Covid as of 7 July.

“Hello Lyme Disease patients, please come to our lab where there are ticks everywhere” this is what you sound like when you do research on long COVID but your lab staff won’t wear masks
