There are 15 COVlD hot spots across the US, according to our county-level map of CDC wastewater data. See Alt text for details. PMC Weekly COVlD Report: pmc19.com New Interactive Map: pmc19.com/interactive.php

Food should be safe enough that children, elderly, sick, and people with chronic conditions can eat.
When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.
Covid is still the third leading cause of death in canada, after heart disease and cancer. #CovidIsntOver #CleanTheAir #MedSky #IDSky #MaskUp
It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.
I’ve been writing a counter narrative of shutdowns that has me revisiting media from that time. And let me tell you, the only other option was everybody die. So yeah.
it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy
Honestly one of the things that makes me most angry is our failure to protect children Many kids will have had several COVID infections before they can even speak Many will have long COVID before they even enter school We are disabling entire generations And it will come back to haunt us
Looks like we've hit the "with cyclospora not from cyclospora" phase
Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

Women and girls make up to 80% of cases of autoimmune diseases. Covid and long covid are gender issues. #LongCovid #CovidIsntOver #MedSky

Excellent thread. #CovidIsntOver
every couple months we get one of those "my crackpot theory is that covid changed everything" threads from non-sick people and then a couple posts down they make it clear that by "covid" they really just mean "the brief period where we were sorta still trying to mitigate covid".
People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawai'i are experiencing ongoing COVlD outbreaks. Use layered protection, encourage local media to cover COVlD to protect communities, and urge public health programs to promote boosters and offer free N95s and tests.
One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.
Very confused by this image. Is that supposed to be the lower leg bones on the outside of the limb? And the bones shrink along with muscles? Makes zero sense.
