“Why waste your time on Covid stuff, no one cares anymore”
Because I’ve lost too many people that I loved, not to try to make the world safer for the ones I still have.

The biggest challenge around Covid and Long Covid communication is:
Why doesn't everyone get the same effects.

There is a small group of people scattered around the world who in spite of vicious social pressure refused to participate in the causing of massive harm to those around them while everyone else folded almost immediately. And we’ve held out for years. We own the future, join us

Ok.
I've read "The Painful Truth About Long Covid" six times through, and I'm ready.
Here are ten clues in the article that point to the writer's bad faith.

Good, because my goal is to make the air in every indoor space in the world completely safe to breathe without any risk of infection from any airborne pathogen, no masks necessary.

The goal you should pursue should feel completely unrealistic.

You normalized a virus that has by the very minimum maimed 1 in every 6 people, that’s already killed tens of millions and is the cause of the most common chronic condition in kids. You did that, for the promise of a normalcy that never could have been.
The fuck is wrong with you

My first N95!
You might be surprised to find that, until a few weeks ago, I'd never worn an N95.
I live in the UK, so you can't buy N95 masks here.
Do you think it matters what these masks are called?

I wanted to make a joke about sodium, but l thought Na, people won't get it.

The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.
I can't properly describe to anyone under the age of 30 just how cool the Internet was before Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple turned it all into a walled garden of garbage and commerce.

Trump has only one move. Give Iran a peace deal that leaves Iran taxing 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption and roughly 25% of all global seaborne oil trade. It also leaves Israel in a weaker position than it was before the war started. Dumbest war ever.

If covid infections make you *more vulnerable* to almost every other pathogenic infection by multiple mechanisms, then you'd expect increases in almost every other pathogenic infection.
And that's what we see.

Don’t just wear a mask again because Hantavirus is in the news, it might not be for long, and you need to protect yourself after the media moves on from it.
Wear a mask because Covid destroys the immune system, attacks the heart, damages the brain, and compounds the damage to your body with each infection.
Wear a mask because you want to be healthy and live longer, and because the last few years you and most of the people you know have been the sickest you’ve ever been in your life.
Wear a mask again because there was no reason to stop in the first place.

I think everyone is missing the biggest change that has happened this century.
When a fire breaks out in the woods, you don't assume that fire has changed and mutated into a new more fiery form.
You assume the woods are dry.

Okay, hear me out. We isolate the part of these viruses that makes people sick, from that part that makes them go on Phileas Fogg world tours within days of exposure. Sell that to the travel industry in a pill to fund the cost of developing a vaccine.

NEW: I discovered that a second American woman jet-setted around the globe after leaving the MV Hondius in late April, traveling through at least four countries before attending an international conference in Vietnam.
It's unclear if health authorities in the US are aware of the NYC resident's time on the ship or travels.
