Got my hair cut this morning and almost considered not wearing a mask to do so, but my common sense kicked in and I did.
During the cut I realized my barber was sniffing a lot and had to stop to blow his nose. I probably dodged a bullet there of some kind.

No tenemos que consentirlo.
Podemos elegir el cuidado colectivo.
Podemos elegir el amor como un acto de resistencia contra el peso aplastante del capitalismo.
Nunca es demasiado tarde para volver a usar mascarilla.

This is why respirators need to be mandatory in hospitals.
Babies, people with certain disabilities & some health conditions need others to mask to protect them.
This hospital shouldn’t be “scrambling”. Make masks mandatory & protect patients and staff.
Clean & ventilate the air too!

It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day, and my latest article looks at the reasons why people believe they don’t know anyone with Long Covid.
We desperately need increased visibility into this debilitating chronic illness so that we can raise awareness and fund treatments, mitigations and cures.
Anyone can get Long Covid. It’s not limited to ‘only the vulnerable’ or those who had a severe initial infection.
This disease does not discriminate. Even people with asymptomatic initial infections have found themselves disabled by Long Covid.
It’s time we start processing the trauma of the pandemic and stop living in denial.
We are in the middle of a mass disabling event, and the longer it takes us to admit that, the more people will be harmed.
Let’s spread the word that the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting Covid in the first place.
Wear a mask. Stay home when sick. Clean and ventilate the air.
When we all agree to care about the air we share, we can begin to bring about real change.

Second time #CDC has reported estimates for more than two regions at a time since October.
To be clear, national data used for chart above are modeled on regional data collection.
LP.8.1 now estimated at majority in Great Lakes, nearing majority in NY/NJ and Mid-Atlantic.
XEC (incl. XEC.4) still around a quarter share in all three regions.

El new york times ha usado un vídeo de mierda para hablar del daño del covid al corazón como si ellos no fueran parte de la propaganda minimizadora y antimascarilla de la prensa. Aquí la información de forma correcta y sin capacitismo.

¿Por qué seguimos hablando de COVID en 2025?
I wrote a guest article for Healthy Debate that looks at why we need mandatory masks in healthcare, why surgical masks aren’t enough, and how the mounting threats to public health are putting lives at risk.
If you’re a healthcare worker, mask up.
Show us you take your oath to “do no harm” seriously

Things I learned about #measles, a thread:
I've never had or seen measles, I was born in the US after the measles vaccine but before antivaxxers went big, so I did some reading. In order of excitingness:
1) Measles is airborne, making this a great time to #WearAMask. IKR? looks like it would be a skin contact thing, but it's primarily airborne so it can linger in the air for hours after an infectious person exhales in a room. Familiar, no?
(1/4)
Perhaps it's over for you, but
#CovidIsNotOver for me
Today was a good day
Pain level only a three
After five years now
Yes, I know, it's a bore
But please #WearAMask
#LongCovid hurts more
