linkedin.com/posts/spelasal… If you are an unmasked doctor: we can all see you don't read, don't care, and can't be trusted.
Something I learned since getting sick, especially once the pandemic started, is how people see chronic illness as some kind of moral failing. I see it in the confident way they think it will never happen to *them* because they’re healthy and make good lifestyle choices. 1/5
Ten things twitter folks know about Covid that people on the streets don't.
If you’re newly disabled - whether by Long Covid or any other chronic illness - you need to prepare yourself for gaslighting. Doctors, HCWs, friends, family…. You will be surprised how much it’ll happen. A 🧵on how to cope, why it happens & finding your tribe. /1
Nothing adds up about the latest Covid news. Apologies to those who think this may be overly conspiratorial, but here’s what we know: 1. Covid is not “milder,” though fewer people are dying in the acute stage due to vaccines. It still causes long term harm. /🧵
y'all realize the virus isn't going to comply with any cdc bullshit instructions, right?
Many folks are pushing to go “back to normal” because they’re upset that their lives were upended in early days of Covid pandemic. I get it. My life was upended when I became disabled. But here’s the thing - “normal” isn’t working. It’s a mirage. 🧵 on denial & false ‘normal’ /1
@Helenreflects Thanks for this fabulous 🧵. Altho I don’t trend hopeful, the youngs are giving me hope. Have been seeing more and more 🔥🔥🔥 on #CovidIsNotOver TikTok. Three recent examples… x.com/withchem/statu…

The work I do clinically can be very rewarding, but the never ending stories of medical neglect and gaslighting are sometimes too much to bear. Medicine is failing so many people. It’s as if the worse off you are the more likely you are to get treated poorly. It’s heartbreaking.
Hello class! This is a bottle of Bitrex solution. It is the bitterest tasting substance known to science. I have filled this nebulizer with it. *turns on nebulizer, stream of particles shoots out* 🧵
Good Twitter is an echo chamber. Filled with repeated outbursts of laughter, cuteness, human kindness, love and joy. It’s designed to be as 10 times as positive as X is negative. I think we’re getting there. x.com/i/communities/…
This is your daily pension announcement. The Pension War Room™️ enjoys richest irony ever! Apparently, @aimcoinvests had a money-market investment account with short term investments that were managed on behalf of the GOA (the client). #AbLeg
🇦🇺Phenomenal article! 🙏🙏🙏 Data shows that COVID has decreased life expectancy, will cost the global economy an estimated US$13.8 trillion by 2024, and is decimating the lives of millions of people who have developed long COVID. 1/5 abc.net.au/news/2024-01-2…

This is Jann Arden’s hospital experience in Alberta…👇👇👇👇video credit @jannarden 👇👇👇👇👇#alberta #healthcare #abpoli #DanielleSmith @Alberta_UCP #publichealthcare @ABDanielleSmith
Occasionally people criticise me for swearing on here. I know. It always reminds me of this quote from an american preacher: "I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition.…
Jann Arden walks into an emergency room...the end of the joke seems to be the provincial government's funding model @ABDanielleSmith #health #healthcare @jannarden
“You think you are better than me for masking” Yes, yes I do. Morally. Endeavouring to not do harm is morally superior to openly spreading organ damaging virus everywhere. The consequence to being an asshole is that people think less of you. You want your cake and to eat it too.

@drdagly It seems our lives have little value under the UCP.
@ringothe5th Anyone who works in healthcare and also self-identifies as a “militant anti-masker” is not someone whose observations I take seriously.
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…

New CDC update: “Emerging evidence suggests that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection.”
@SalamonSMD Obviously doctors (and everyone else) should wear fit tested respirators at all times but it’s not always a good idea to antagonise them because, as today shows, they retaliate
@kate___said Unfortunately, I can't work due to my daughter's condition; I'm with her 24/7. We avoid professional help due to the risk of infection. My husband wears a KN95 mask, but all his coworkers are mask-free, since they see no danger for themselves, right?
