They are pretending COVID doesn’t exist so they don’t have to provide basic worker rights like sick days, remote work, or worker protections. COVID is a labor justice issue.

I have a friend who some time ago was trying to refill a ADHD medication prescription after moving to a new city with a new doctor and the doctor said if she ever came back seeking drugs he’d have her kids taken by the state. Never met her in his life. Just saw that she had

I shit ye not. Just happened. Just been into ED to see some patients and Infection Control are visiting and checking the water supply as another location had listeria. Anyway one of the infection control people then abruptly asks me about the 5 stages of hand washing. 1. We are in the Emergency Department 2. The ED HEPA filters are off 3. I am the only one wearing a N95 Fit Tested MASK 4. Not a single other member of staff or patient is wearing a mask, this includes INFECTION CONTROL. Yet here I am challenged about the 5 stages of HAND WASHING. Welcome to the future. Hand washing only! #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver #COVID19

“Covid is over.” “Covid is a nothing-burger.” Let’s run a simulation to see how long it’ll take before the majority of the population has persistent infection/chronic disease [LongCovid] with the following assumptions: Initial Infection: •67% of the US population has had Covid once since 2020. •10% of those will have persistent Covid. •This means 6.7% of the US population has persistent Covid from the initial infection. Reinfections: •50% of the US population has had Covid two or more times since 2020. •The risk of persistent Covid compounds with each infection. So, for the first reinfection, the risk is 10% + 5% = 15%. For the second reinfection, it's 15% + 5% = 20%, and so on. •From the first reinfection, 50% * 15% = 7.5% of the US population will have persistent Covid. •From the second reinfection, 50% * 20% = 10% of the US population will have persistent Covid. Total as of 8/28/23: •From initial infections and reinfections, 6.7% + 7.5% + 10% = 24.2% of the US population will have persistent Covid. Now, let's project into the future shall we? •The spread continues at a rate 10% faster each year, with an average of 2 infections per year. •The risk of persistent Covid compounds by 5% with each reinfection. End of Year 1 (8/28/24): •67% * 1.10 = 73.7% of the US population gets infected this year. •Of the remaining 75.8% (100% - 24.2%), 73.7% or 55.9% get infected. •From these infections, 10% + 5% = 15% or 8.385% get persistent Covid from the first infection and 15% + 5% = 20% or 11.18% from the second infection. •Total with persistent Covid = 24.2% + 8.385% + 11.18% = 43.765% End of Year 2 (8/28/25): •73.7% * 1.10 = 81.07% of the US population gets infected this year. •Of the remaining 56.235% (100% - 43.765%), 81.07% or 45.6% get infected. •From these infections, 20% + 5% = 25% or 11.4% get persistent Covid from the first infection and 25% + 5% = 30% or 13.68% from the second infection. •Total with persistent Covid = 43.765% + 11.4% + 13.68% = 68.845% By the end of the second year (8/28/25), 68.845% of the US population will have persistent Covid, which exceeds the 51% target. …So, it will take less than 2 years from today 8/28/23 for 51% of the population to have persistent Covid given these assumptions. I think these are entirely reasonable assumptions unless there are some changes around here… 1. Shifts in public perceptions of risk (after infection or reinfection that causes fear, attitude & behavior change) 2. Investment in & fast deployment of clean air technology in hot spots like schools, hospitals and public restrooms that could reduce spread. 3. Viral mutations (slower or faster transmissibility or changes in pathogenicity) The only thing that seems possible at this moment in time, here in the US, is (3). And that’d be pure luck. It could go either way or just stay the same.

Carving swastikas into your gun before you hunt Black people isn’t mental illness. It’s white supremacy. We need to be damn clear about that, because the solutions to those two problems are very different. It’s not brain chemistry, it’s a worldview that doesn’t see us as human.

We have a mental health crisis. We have a lot of sick people in this country. It’s really sad that people like @jemelehill and @JoyAnnReid constantly call everything racist. They never let a crisis go to waste. I wonder if they commented on this story… msn.com/en-us/news/cri…

The appointment of more cops, homeland security and prosecutors with political connections to this foundation is deeply concerning. Healing the devastating impacts of the opioid crisis requires expertise and knowledge of those who work directly with people who are affected.

I truly don't understand the resistance and hatred for masks. We wear clothes, hats and gloves in the winter, growing up in VA, all my hunting buddies wore full face masks without a complaint, but when it comes to wearing one for HEALTH, that's where you draw the line?

Recall “the habitual be” and how Black people are mocked for a sophisticated linguistic structure that includes a conjugation of the verb “to be” that goes beyond the limits of English and has tangible, identifiable meaning. They use it instead to humiliate our children. 1/N

SB 1009 would make it so the head of Corrections would decide what medical procedures are medically necessary for people incarcerated in WV Doctors -- not political appointees -- should decide what treatments are medically necessary. We urge the House to vote down this bill.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: We are only at 1.3°C of global heating and the Earth is breaking down like crazy. 1.5°C was NEVER a safe level. But, thanks to fossil fuel industry lies and bribes, we are on track to blow past that and get to 3°C or more which will be hell on Earth
