at urgent care and the sheer number of people with covid in here is absurd. if you haven't gotten the most recent vaccination, NOW is the time to get it. if you arent wearing a mask, NOW is the time to start. protect yourself and others as much as you can! you will regret it if you don't.

People who caught it put in the tags what year it was and how bad it was and if you had any side effects

tumblr just nuked @milf-adjacent's blog with zero warning, no explanation from staff or e-mail whatsoever. her blog has been a vital resource for documenting COVID-19, and she did nothing ban worthy. she seems to be another target of the transmisogyny being carried out by staff.

If you're waiting for public officials to tell you that covid is in fact still here and that you should in fact still be masking & regularly getting tested, it would already be too late by then. I need more people to let it sink in that the US government's first and (probably only) priority is the economy, as opposed to being honest about covid.
Rich people and government officials like the PotUS are still making it mandatory to mask when interacting with them.
Rich people and government officials like the PotUS get PCR tested and make it mandatory for everyone to do the same before interacting with them.
Rich people and government officials like the PotUS are making it mandatory to make sure everywhere they go has filtered, clean air.
They are protecting themselves and still taking precautions during this on-going pandemic while lying to our faces that the pandemic is over. They may be maskless on camera, but they're sure as fuck rushing to get tested after the fact.
If you're waiting for these people to be honest with you about covid & to tell you how to protect yourself, it would already be too late by then.

I will never stop masking in public spaces, or taking precautions wherever I go. It also baffles me how little we still know about how Covid will impact the body because it's only almost 5 years old (I recently read a post about what we know about long covid and the information is just jarring). Stay safe and keep masking folks!

I understand how some people feel invincible against covid. They don't pay attention or simply don't believe in the probability of covid disabling them or killing them. It's absurd and ignorant but I can understand it to an extent. What I don't understand is the selfishness of acting like you can take your invincible attitude and apply it to others in your community.
Taking precautions against covid isn't just self-care. It's community-care. Very basic community care. Even if you don't know of a disabled person in your community, you can still easily disable someone by carrying covid or just straight up kill someone. You can set them back in life with hospital costs n shit. And even disregarding covid, you should be taking precautions not to spread viruses like that in general.
So while I don't care about how worried people are about personally catching covid, I cannot understand not taking precautions and keeping up with masking (as long as you're able).
It's the selfishness that loses me. The idea of not caring about other people to the extent of being cruel, of being dangerous is horrifying to me.

I feel moved to do this so I’m gonna
I can only speak for the US, but if you think covid isn’t a big deal anymore you are being lied to. on multiple levels.
First and most important, covid is airborne. It was always airborne. This is a well-established fact in the medical community and has been for awhile. What this means is that, in indoor spaces and crowded outdoor spaces, it is chilling in the air and you are inhaling it with every breath you take. The more virus you inhale, the sicker you will be. The gov knows it, the cdc knows it, everyone knows it. Nobody wants to say this to avoid accountability that they fucked up the initial response with a focus on droplets, and they don’t want “panic”. Plus it will obviously cost them more.
herd immunity was never, and is not going to be, a thing with this virus
You can and will get reinfected. And with every infection, you’re at higher risk of severe disease and organ damage, including your brain.
Two very large studies on Long Covid have recently come out, and in summary, it is very real and you don’t want this shit. It’s estimated that 1 in 5 infected people will get it and there is no cure yet. Even if we find one, organ and brain damage is not reversible.
covid is causing an increase in brain disorders
this is an LA emergency room today as of August 27 2022 It’s like this all over as you can see in the comments.
children are at significantly higher risk for covid complications
masking doesn’t hurt kids’ speech development
earloop masks don’t do shit to protect you at this point and this is well established in the medical community. It’s N95 or higher or you have very little protection. Any mask is better than no mask. If you have absolutely no choice but to use ear looped masks, a mask brace helps significantly
you can get a p100, a mask with even higher filtration than n95, on amazon for $30. This is the one I bought. Here are more p100 and elastomeric masks you can buy safely
here is an indepth video on how to perform a DIY fit test at home using instructions from the US Army. You should be doing this with every mask you have (if you’re curious as to why federal mask mandates were never enforced or even discussed, it’s because federal law mandates that companies have to fit test every employee if masks are required for airborne protection and they can’t/don’t want to figure out how to work around this for the general public. You need to fit test for a mask to work accurately.)
one of the key components to actually returning life to normal for everyone, including the disabled, is air filtration. The Corsi-Rosenthal Box is a cheap, open source air filter that’s on par with more expensive filtration systems. At it’s best, it reduces 80% of the covid inhalation dose, which is the equivalent of a group of people all wearing decent quality, fitting masks. This not only helps against covid, but also reduces exposure to other respiratory illnesses and even allergies! People all over the country are making these and donating them to schools, businesses, people in need, etc. Here’s a video on how to make one yourself and I highly recommend you do if you can. If you don’t like masks for whatever reason, this is how we get rid of them
here is an awesome thread about traveling during covid
If you’d like reviews on various types of masks and if they pass fit tests, this is the guy you wanna follow
if you’re looking for graphs and charts and statistics, you wanna follow this account
if you wanna know more about air filtration, literally everyone in the medical community worth their salt is constantly screaming about it on twitter, but I recommend following this guy
and if you want accurate information about covid, then you should follow one of the first whistleblowers for the disease. He’s been right about everything so far, and he’s also posting accurately about monkeypox
NOW HOW ABOUT A FEW GOOD THINGS??????
a very promising prophylactic for covid, called Evusheld, exists and has been authorized for emergency use in the US. If you are immunocompromised, over the age of 12, and 88+ pounds, please harass your GPD and pharmacy to give it to you!!!! It is actively being suppressed and the us gov isn’t buying supply, so most medical professionals don’t know it exists and will fight you about it. Even if you aren’t in the US, it’s available in over 100 countries!!!!!
Novavax is a new and very promising vaccine that would be effective for emerging variants, and it’s working better than the current vaccines to prevent infection. But, again, the US is refusing to buy supply and the FDA is dragging their feet because the current administration is pfizer’s bitch :)
also, in general, I know it sounds scary that covid is airborne, but we have a lot of airborne diseases, and we know how to fight them. They aren’t magic. We can and do manage them all the time. It’s just that for some reason (capitalism), we’ve decided not to this time.
but the information is still available. We don’t have to lie down and let this thing destroy our communities and isolate our disabled and vulnerable neighbors. We have the ability, at any time, to end this shit for real and make our local communities safer, with or without the gov’s help.
we just have to do it.

COVID IS NOT JUST A FUCKING COLD. IT'S NOT A COLD.
getting COVID multiple times does NOT decrease your risk of serious complications.
COVID is SERIOUS ILLNESS that can KILL you, even IF you're perfectly healthy beforehand.
you CANNOT rule out whether serious complications will happen to your our others.
if you're sick MASK UP, and STAY HOME whenever possible.

I can't stress this enough. WE'RE STILL IN A PANDEMIC.
I DON'T CARE THAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS. I DON'T CARE WHAT THE US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SAYS. WE'RE STILL IN A PANDEMIC.
People that were high risk are still high risk, including immunocompromised people, people with high blood pressure, and people with clotting disorders.
Like my boss, his wife, and friends of the family all got sick. I still can't get my allergy medication at the grocery. I had to order that shit from Amazon. That major sucked.
I still wear a mask. Because even though I'm on my... second booster? Getting COVID even though I had my first booster was the sickest I've ever been.
People are still getting long COVID which makes them high risk for this fungal infection outbreak as of recent.
Wear your damn mask. (Also I work remote. Because people are fucking gross. All of you people going to work without your mask are fucking nasty)
"But Fae. I can't breath." Bitch. When I get my hair done I'm easily there for... 4 hours? I can barely breath without a mask (I'm working with an ENT and allergist on that). I still wear a mask the entire damn time. Because I'm not fucking nasty spreading my goddamn germs everywhere like all of you. You're goddamn disgusting and you should all be fucking shamed for it. Keep your FUCKING cooties to your FUCKING self.
I don't care if people give me that goddamn look that people give every time I express a systemic issue. You're goddamn gross and I'm fucking judging you.
