“You’ve been sick for years… just die already”. Someone actually said that to me & I wrote about it on substack. I feel the Covid pandemic has increased hatred & anger towards disabled people. We remind them of something they want to forget: broadwaybabytoronto.substack.com/p/youve-been...

Tolerate? Millions of disabled ppl are STILL living under intense Covid restrictions in order to stay alive. When u make comments like this u fail to acknowledge that ur “back to normal” is at the direct expense of millions of vulnerable ppl’s lives. Stop acting like disabled ppl don’t exist.

A tweet worth looking at on the other place. The new indoor air quality regs are meeting resistance and there appears to be a push to weaken the requirements. Other countries will be sure to face similar issues if new IAQ standards are introduced so worth being watchful. x.com/mdc_martinus...

There aren't many great reasons to be on Twitter these days, except for a major event like this one featuring these two leading Covid doctors (not yet on Sky it appears). Mark your calendars for Nov 2nd 9pm UK time. Thanks @peteuk7.bsky.social twitter.com/PeteUK7/stat... #CovidisAirborne #Covid

GBD say focused protection was their plan. It was nothing of the sort but if we really want to do focused protection we should focus right now on: - Using correct PPE in healthcare - Clean air in hospitals / all care settings - Clean air in schools - Clean air on public transport

Long Covid has made Sky News homepage. It isn't "an unusual case" though. It's happening to HUGE numbers of people as well as a myriad of other serious consequences. You may be 1 infection away from a similar problem. It's important to protect yourself.

If anyone in UK is wondering if Gov't would prefer you didn't know about Covid prevalence, it's worth noting that the only case data we have is from Zoe app - there are no Gov funded sources. No boosters, no data, no effort, no warnings - are you sure they care if you get sick?

Covid is an ever-present. We can talk about waves but even when levels are considered low by some, it's still in pretty significant circulation. Prevalence influences the probability of encountering an infectious person but it's never been low enough to be considered safe imo. 1/2

If people understood these 4 simple truths; that #LongCovid: - - Can completely destroy your health - Can limit your ability to work AND There are: - No known diagnostic tests - No known treatments Then maybe folk would be more inclined to protect themselves. Dice roll ~1 in 10. 1/

In a 6 week period (2022) of sustained respiratory viral activity in Ottawa, Canada kids being absent was reduced enough to gain almost 2,000 school days. This was with mostly low quality masks, imagine how much better if everyone had proper N95 or better ( tinyurl.com/44d9rpjr ). 🧪
