Very cool! Black tea, raspberry zinger, eucalyptus mint, mint medley & green tea shown to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in saliva. Will it interfere with progression from the nose? To the lungs? 🤷🏽♀️ Until there's more study, I think we can file this under might help/won't hurt. Enjoy! 🫖

wake up gays we're in TEEN VOGUE!!!! teenvogue.com/story/clean-ai…
What does all this mean? The Dept of Ed is acknowledging that indoor air quality plays a role in the absenteeism crisis. They are asking schools to use their ARP funds to improve indoor air quality. If your school has not done this yet, what is your excuse?
I'm begging journalists to please learn the definition of a pandemic. This is embarrassing. It's been four years! Governments can't declare the end of the pandemic. The US declared that the public health emergency ended, not the pandemic.
All health insurance plans should be required to cover OTC COVID-19 tests. It is ridiculous OTC COVID tests are no longer covered and people have to pay $20-30 to get tests. We have the tools **if you can afford to pay for them** is not an effective policy in midst of pandemic.
#COVID-19 "Vaccines" should not be an annual fall Seasonal Virus vaccine We know that COVID-19 is not a "Seasonal Virus" We need a Booster every 6 months to keep up with new Variants and waning human Immunity, especially for our most vulnerable population.
I have read that the so-called “absenteeism crisis” afflicting our schools can be attributed to how “something fundamental has shifted in American culture” which is certainly one way of recognizing that we are still in a pandemic.
World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza. Read our full statement on the loss of our team members here: wck.org/news/gaza-team…
I actually would appreciate it if more people who do high risk activities (even unmasked) wore high quality masks in grocery stores because it's an essential setting we all need to access and even if they were exposed, if we're BOTH masked, it reduces potential transmission a lot
Your friendly periodic reminder that before you post that we should focus covid vaccination/ testing/ treatment/ mitigation messaging only on those at “higher risk…” please remember that there’s a pretty good chance you or someone you love actually is high risk…

“They want us to forget that, during the lockdowns, global carbon emissions dropped 6%, that bird song returned, that it was so obvious that the world was doing better "nature is healing" became a meme.”
@drseanmullen I will always contend that COVID is a Class War those with the least Always pay the most being too sick to work becomes a death sentence
Can we stop normalizing covid and start normalizing clean air?
Revisiting the long-term health effects of Covid vs flu 3 key points 1. Covid is worse than flu 2. Covid is more multisystemic; flu is more respiratory 3. Both covid and flu cause more health loss in the long-term than what is evident around the time of acute infection…
@Facts_Matter_US @drseanmullen @KenElder10 @SenMarkey @BernieSanders This below is what the CDC advised foreign schools, while it was telling ours to take their masks off, note the date. Masks, increased ventilation.
Clean indoor air through improved filtration and ventilation is the only viable way forward. Flu, covid, RSV, wildfire smoke – we must take a systemic approach to cleaning our indoor air through upgraded ventilation and filtration.
If you’re the healthy one in a mixed-health relationship (so far), remember that all their precautions are protecting you, all your risks are endangering them. And while everyone is guilty of petty, selfish thoughts - how much space those take up in the conversation is a choice.

These universities refuse to go hybrid for covid, they make it nearly impossible to get a hybrid accommodation for a disability... but as soon as they're trying to shut down protests for a free palestine they're on zoom so damn fast

Had work done in my home Every single worker wore an n95 respirator, windows open, Corsi running. The team spent more than a week here and I never had an issue with ANY precaution. Work got done, no one got sick. Yet, my doctor can’t mask.
This is one of the many reasons that otherwise well-informed people (including healthcare providers) dropped their guards. And it remains one of the primary reasons people think Covid is behind us. Because they can’t see it. They don’t see half the people carrying virus who show…
My GP is always even tempered, but she became angry when she said that there is no such thing as asymptomatic transmission of #SARSCoV2
Still can’t get over CDC argued that Long COVID was decreasing so we no longer need the 5 day COVID isolation guidance when in fact data showed Long COVID was increasing! “‘Alarming’ rise in Americans with Long Covid symptoms” #LongCOVID theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…
Apparently, when the zookeeper said “meerkats can catch viruses like COVID and the flu” the visitors happily put on masks to help protect them, so now you know that if you want your friends and family and coworkers to wear a mask to protect you all you need to do is be a meerkat.
A CDC study found Surgical masks in indoor public settings cut the chance of contracting the coronavirus by 66%. Higher-quality N95 or KN95 masks reduced the risk of infection by 83%. A mask protects not only against the coronavirus but other respiratory viruses as well
Incidents that do not fit the ‘classic’/’real’ rape scenario – most rapes - tend to be dismissed or denied. Harder for women to name their experiences as rape when these occur in private spaces, by normal men who they know and have a relationship with, & without extreme force 5/6
Men often imagine some crazed guy, in a park, violently raping a passing woman. Men often don’t think of what’s far more common: A man pressuring his date into sex. A man expecting that his wife will have sex whenever he wants to. A man taking advantage of a drunk woman. Etc. 2/6
One key reason many men don’t recognise our roles in preventing and reducing rape is that we don't realise that most rapes are by men known to the victim, in a familiar location, without serious physical injury, and that rapes are common. Many men have a mistaken idea of rape 1/6
Just to add: I am not not surprised that a show so well-known for making people want to squirm discomfort from satirical examination of the ridiculous things we experience in life would do an episode like this. Covid is the elephant in the room so a perfect subject for Curb
The last scene where we as an audience are expected to cringe at the thought of spreading Covid to an entire yoga retreat, but emphasizing: - the pregnant person - the elder says to me that people still know this isn’t right, but unlike Curb, leave the awkwardness unsaid 4/4
