Imagine a country with a social safety net that includes universal healthcare with no medical bankruptcy, significantly longer paid parental leave, and affordable higher education. Public safety, with stricter regulations resulting in lower violent crime rates & higher life expectancy.

We can be #CovidFighters Jean! Those who fight against spreading disease who stay healthy and alive!! I hope one day the whole world joins us in layering mitigations to fight off airborne diseases!

It’s annoying that people are pretending that Covid is over. I don’t eat out, go to any events and I mask everywhere even when I have to go to someone’s house. I’m in the high risk category and if I get it I’ll probably die.

But bc society doesn’t try to curb the spread of airborne diseases like Covid & bc people don’t care who gets sick, who lives or dies - that means people who are at risk (and it’s a larger number than you think it is) have to stay home or risk their lives every time they interact with society.

We have 7 yrs of data that layered mitigations WORK to help slow the spread of COVID. So what are they? - get vaccinated at least yearly - wear a high quality mask (kf94, kn95, n95 or better) - follow clean air initiatives & ventilate spaces It does not mean you have to stay home. Learn more

It's important to know that false negatives on home COVID-19 tests are common, so if you're not feeling well and get a negative result, you should always test again! But although false negatives happen, it's still important to get tested if possible so you can get the treatment you need!

Before 2020, academic sources and epidemiological estimates reported #MECFS having a prevalence of 0.2–1% of the population, with a marked increase afterwards. In 2022 alone, more than 30,000 #ME/CFS diagnoses were recorded in Baden-Württemberg (which represents about 13% of Germany’s population).

I rarely share anecdotes, making an exception here. I've spoken to too many people recently who have developed chronic health problems that are temporally correlated with a recent Covid infection but who weren't aware that Covid was likely the cause. No idea they had Long Covid.

My duty is to guide my students re: the truth about COVID and empower them with knowledge and tools to always protect themselves from COVID infection while they learn in school & transport to/from. I applaud anyone who makes the choice to try to clean the air they breathe🙏 #NeverGiveUp #CleanTheAir

My students aren't afraid of COVID. They respect that COVID can hurt them and try to protect themselves from infection. They trust that I am protecting them as best I can too using in-class #CRboxes & providing @donatemask.bsky.social free N95s for them. Some mask most of the day, some don't. ...

All of my students learn COVID infections ARE a big deal because they see me as an example. A healthy, middle-aged man with no co-morbidities who had a COVID-induced heart attack. I model proper N95 use every day at school. I encourage them to monitor the indoor air quality with our tools too.

The major problem with Long COVID is that most people don’t know that what they are experiencing is Long COVID. This is an enlightening comment thread.
