I appreciate so many of you reaching out. 🙏🏼 It’s been a tough few months for me and my family, but we’re all ok. I’m dealing with some chronic health issues, but thankfully, remarkably, still Novid. I’m on a hiatus from work & advocacy. Not ready to deal with online chaos, but I won’t disappear.❤️😷

My high risk loved one got first Covid after required healthcare procedure where entire facility was unmasked. Also, surrounded by many with “bad colds” in unavoidable indoor settings. Days and days and days of very high fever and brutal symptoms so far. Isolating alone. Good vibes appreciated.

I’ll be back here and on flipboard (and to endlessly duplicating my Xitter content onto my not-yet-live website)by next week. Been dealing with some stuff. ✌️😷

This is great!

Sorry to keep hammering on this, but my last repost didn't actually link to my Pandemic flipboard. Share with folks who tune out or get overwhelmed by social media Covid medical study posts!

Love to see more Covid aware folks adding YouTube as a platform. Give BreatheSafeAir a follow! youtube.com/shorts/UAxYX...

Am I dreaming or is the CDC already saying it: "Sepsis can also be a result of other infections, including viral infections, such as COVID-19..." www.cdc.gov/sepsis/what-....

Reposting this. I'm finding that this format is reaching some people much more than all my organized threads on Covid organ damage. Seeing all the mainstream outlets makes SOME take more notice. Share, duplicate, steal this idea, etc. ✊😷

Bluesky, SARS-2 Covid cautious friends, did you know that HUMMING is a valid mitigation? Our paranasal sinuses produce Nitric Oxide naturally, and that's the same stuff as Enovid. NO is lethal to viruses, etc. Humming increases it by 15x. 128 Hz is optimal. That's a low C on a piano. 😷🧪
