“Happy to report that one week after traveling on an 11 hr flight to visit my elderly grandparents during a bad flu season, our masks kept us safe and helped us avoid spreading any airborne viruses to them, and we are able to enjoy Christmas together!”—Sinead O’Brien, @cleanairie.bsky.social

Many people try to put the virus out of sight and out of mind, but a study found “COVID can cause alzheimer’s like plaques in Eyes and Brain,” which unfortunately means many people can try to put the virus out of sight and out of mind but sight and mind are where it stays.

Every now and then, a person with no agenda, no ulterior motive and no self-interest will take pleasure in helping you to succeed, grow and live your purpose. This person will operate in love, will seek no praise and will want nothing in return. This person is a gift. ~ Craig Harper ♥️♥️♥️

Nothing will get better unless and until we reject the system that prioritizes and protects the ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone and everything else. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thanks for sending me warm wishes! So happy that I tested negative twice 48 hours apart. I still mask up when I go out, just in case. I don’t want anyone to get sick because of me!🤞🏼😷 👉https://www.instagram.com/p/DM26jxgsVPu/

Our Clean Air Event was a huge success! Recording at youtu.be/eVfbeJ8J8Ww. The takeaway? Breathing clean air is a necessity, and we can use simple tools to provide layered protection from airborne hazards, ranging from COVlD to wildfire smoke. #MaskTogetherColorado #MaskTogetherAmerica 😷 ❤️

TW 📢 Last week, AFSP advocates met with Congress to support #mentalhealth and suicide prevention. Now it’s YOUR turn! 💙 Urge #Congress to pass the Saving Our Veterans Lives Act and the Dr. Lorna Breen Act today. Take action now! afsp.quorum.us/campaign/132...

People often ask me if I’m ever going to stop wearing my mask. They ask in such an exasperated tone, as though my mask is infringing upon their lives in some way. I like not being sick. If I had known how effective respirators were before COVID, I would have worn them before!

Remind me to make a mug that says "Weird Covid obsessed hermit" ✌🏼 I'd rather be accused of this than of mocking people who take health precautions

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

A king wears a crown for it signifies having rule over others, so you who oppose kings should understand that the opposite of wearing a crown is not no crown at all, no, the opposite of wearing a crown is wearing a mask for it signifies having care for others.

If your friends and relatives ask what we must do now that the marches are over, tell them what we must do is take care of one another, and if your friends and relatives ask must we do this until the next march? during the next march? after the next march? simply reply: yes.

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 6/11/25 Hospital admissions for all viruses remain low but climb for COVID. COVID Wastewater trends tick up slightly but remain low. Covid positivity is up slightly. No major changes to report, but COVID appears to be simmering.

To sum it all up? RSV & Flu are low. We are in a holding pattern for measles. COVID remains low, but shows some signs that it might begin heating up.

“One quote really hits it: I am avoiding COVID like the Plague. Since I was a child, learning about the Plague scared me. I don't want to be the one to spread it and contribute to mutations!"

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 5/21/25 Hospital admissions for all Respiratory Viruses remain very low. Covid admissions are now leading the pack, but remain VERY low Wastewater trends remain primarily "steady decrease" for COVID, the median is very low.

If you live on the West Coast you must be prepared for wildfires. If you live in the Great Plains you must be prepared for tornadoes. If you live on the East Coast you must be prepared for hurricanes. If you live in this moment you must be prepared for the pandemic.

The last few years have been the very best years of my life, with regard to musical creativity. If any musicians are looking to develop themselves creatively, I thoroughly recommend "acknowledging the pandemic". #GetLoud

Vaccination against COVID-19 should be widely available and accessible in a timely manner for all in all countries to prevent global outbreaks. Not only will we put Americans at risk but we will endanger the world by eliminating infection control. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The possibility that Covid vaccines would become unavailable for kids alarmed pediatricians. “I see children admitted to the hospital with Covid and they’re not all high-risk children. If we have effective vaccines that prevent illness, use them." www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions. Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.

Shave a bit for a better fit! 🪒😷👍 Even a short beard can make an N95 or KN95 significantly less protective. Shaving in the areas where the mask touches your face is an easy fix! 1/3

I wear my mask to protect my organs, how about you?

The professor tells me in past semesters her mask wearing inspired a few students to mask too, but this semester she has masked alone, but when I ask if she has wanted to stop, she says: “no it’s good for students to see someone doing the right thing when everyone else given up.”
