I agree. Almost 1 million dead, but we’re being urged to “live life” and “calculate our individual risk” with no viable, current information. I don’t want to get back to normal. What I want is that people care and each life is valued.

Sometime around Memorial Day the US will pass 1 million dead from this pandemic. A book listing the names of those we’ve lost would need 6000 pages. We’re still losing 500 people per day. I don’t have an urgency to get back to normal. I have an urgency for the dying to stop.

There’s a lot of gray area between “it’s just a cold”and “shut down the school year.” And a lot more we could be doing to protect the most at risk. Our collective failure to acknowledge this middle ground continues to cause preventable harm and cost lives. ☹️

People have short attention spans these days, and Twitter and the media force us to focus on one thing at a time-
but advocating for one Covid preventive measure doesn’t mean you’re against all the others. Lose weight AND exercise AND vitamin D AND vax AND mask AND ventilate.👍🏽

The @CDCgov indoor air standard for CO2 levels is <800 ppm. Here is me holding evidence that every one should #MaskUp because you can be stuck with unfiltered air inside a stranded flight waiting for an old plane to get repaired for no idea how long!😱🤬

As COVID begins to exponentially rise locally again, I feel it’s important to highlight just 4 things 🧵

I'm still masking because I've been very sick before and I never want to be that sick again
I'm still masking because I don't want to be the cause of someone else getting as sick as I was even if it isn't the same kind of sickness

Them: "You're still wearing a mask?" 🤔
Me: "Yes. I still have no interest in catching COVID." 😊

Until now, in 16 years of writing Ask a Manager, I've never had a flood of people from one specific field write to me to ask about how to leave their field. But it's happening now with teaching -- every day I have another letter from a teacher who's trying to get out

The litany of failed #LongCovid treatments is so upsetting, and coming from the #Lyme world, deeply familiar.
After 3 years of gov forcing this mass-disabling nightmare upon us, WHERE ARE THE ANTIVIRALS?
Where can LC pts get help??

After fasting, cold showers, using apps, slowly increasing activity, antihistamines, cutting coffee sugar and tasty food out, daily meditation, green tea, coq10, Vitamin d, L carnitine, niacin, breathing exercises and therapy I can say I'm still completely disabled.

While shopping at the grocery store, I say to the woman next to me wearing a KN95:
"Great mask... you're one of the smart ones. Thank you for wearing one."
She says, "I have cancer. Thank you for wearing a mask."

If your answer to "how can immunocompromised people can safely participate in society again," is that they should stay home indefinitely, then your public health policy is a failure.

If you’re a progressive and you’re no longer masking actually you’re not.

With Evusheld not currently authorized, CDC recommends people with weakened immune systems and household members take multiple prevention measures to protect themselves against COVID-19. More: bit.ly/3bGvO6p
ALT Graphic explaining the prevention measures that people who have a weakened immune system or live with someone who does can take. The title states, “If you have a weakened immune system or live with someone who does, create a COVID-19 action plan.” The graphic includes six boxes that describes prevention measures, “Get an updated COVID-19 vaccine. Improve ventilation and spend time outdoors. Learn about testing locations and treatment options before getting exposed or sick. Get tested if you’ve been exposed or have symptoms. Wash your hands often. Wear a well-fitting mask and maintain distance in crowded spaces.”
