between measles and covid, there are a lot of people walking around who are immuno-compromised now & don't even know it yet, beyond a vague idea that they don't remember being sick so often before a few years ago.
i really hope that the us swings away from fascism & eugenics and moves towards things like free healthcare asap, because it really doesn't have to be like this.
the huge cheers from all sides for the death of a healthcare ceo really shows that there are basic needs like healthcare & housing & UBI that have broad support, far beyond what culture war BS would have people believe, imo.
Treason!
Could you imagine a wacky world where our tax dollars go toward making a better community!? Yikes!!!
Sick for the second time in less than a month, and I got my flu and covid vaccines a couple months ago... these guys are ruining flu season for everyone, not just themselves. Admittedly, I could be better about wearing my mask regularly, but I try to whenever I'm in a really congested train or spot.
even occasionally masking is better than nothing, it's breaking those chains of transmission! 💪
unfortunately, the covid vaccine only really prevents the worst outcomes (hospitalisation & death) for about 4-6 months, it doesn't prevent transmission or long covid.
i've got my fingers crossed for a vaccine that does prevent transmission or long covid, but in the meantime, wearing a well-fitted mask really does work!
Yeah I think it's my second time with covid, or at least symptomatically. Part of me feels like I may already have long covid, but the other part hopes I'm just imagining things...
i'm sorry to hear that ❤️🩹
i hope you can get your hands on some paxlovid, and that you can rest as much as possible. if you think you're resting enough, rest some more for good measure!
