One of the things a patient with complex chronic disease dreads to hear from any doc is, “Add this new thing to your routine. It will only take 5 minutes each day.” The “only” is doing *such* heavy lifting. When you add in all the other bits and pieces, tracking medications, handling the 1/3

You misspelled "wine box".

Imagine thinking so little of yourself that you just let this half sentient rotten potato talk to you like this. I don't care if he's president, have some self respect.

Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"

And make a list of all the climate scientists claiming we don’t need to immediately cut fossil fuel emissions to zero. Not by 2045, not by 2040, not by 2035. That’s all moronically late - half of us will have died by then. 2029 at the latest.

Why do I mask? Yes, it's because I have an immune system issue and need to avoid Covid. But the real reason is 6 years of empirical data. I don't get sick anymore! I used to be sick multiple times a year. Missed several once-in-a-lifetime events I still regret. Mask means not sick? Gimme mask.

I work at the airport. I'm one of a dozen people i see mask regularly, out of hundreds. Those hundreds? They're complaining constantly about being sick. About making their family and friends sick. And they just accept that as a thing that'll happen. Like there's nothing to be done.

Clean indoor air is helpful against disease all the time, not just episodicly "in a pandemic". We treat drinking water *all the time*, not just during cholera outbreaks. Until we get over this medical/reactive mindset, airborne pandemics will continue. Put engineers in charge of public health!

2. Clean indoor air: helpful in a pandemic and good for health and learning at all times (and not just in schools but other buildings too) 3. Effective public health measures: testing, contact tracing, support for isolation, communication, etc 10/12

Whether we officially categorize it as ‘pandemic’ or ‘hyperendemic’, the reality is that “during COVID” is now.

Covid causes brain damage, cardiovascular damage and immune system damage, as well as causing cancer. Have fun getting reinfected and being disabled by it with this stupid capitalist delusion that it is over. Disability and a shorter lifespan is such a great punch line. #yallmasking

“Hey, rember Covid?” Yes dumbass. Because Covid is right fucking now. Covid is not over just because everyone wants to pretend it is. Right now about 30% of all covid infections happen IN the hospital because things don’t just disappear because you want them to. youtu.be/14j9b34VCJI

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

They never measured the air. The filters were run at settings chosen for noise and comfort in communal rooms (low flow). They didn't even calculate room volumes — and no tracer, particle, or bioaerosol data confirms the intervention lowered airborne pathogen concentrations anywhere. 1/

Wow. European countries are boycotting FIFA competitions including the World Cup due to corruption.

​I can't even wrap my head around it. I mean, I get the logic, but I just... can't. The reasoning behind these war crimes hasn't changed in years, they think if they terrify us enough, we'll break. ​It never occurs to them that Ukrainians wouldn't want to surrender to people who rain missiles down

The point isn't to produce essays, it's to teach students how to think for fuck's sake. The minute you automate that, it's over. You might as well close the course. Which they're also doing. This is an attack on learning, and everyone is just shrugging.

I got shingles about two months after one of my COVID infections. Some refer to these viral reactivations as part of Long COVID. My case was mild and limited to the characteristic rash on my shin. Many others are not so lucky. But, sure, let’s keep pretending COVID doesn’t continue to affect us.

The article NEVER mentions prior COVID infection as a risk factor for shingles, which research has shown that it is.
