@aravosis She was a 20 something intern and he was a grown ass married adult man and her boss. She got skewered but he’s the one with power there. It is 100% on him to keep it in his pants, especially with that kind of power imbalance.

Everyone at the airport is coughing and hacking. I give the masking salute to my few, proud fellow maskers. This is the only way to fly folks. Highest filtration mask you have. Portable filter if you can. Be smart. It’s not just covid out there - flu, rsv and more. Don’t want any

I mask because I don’t like getting sick (and neither does my family) and its an easy thing to do to protect myself and others. It couldn’t be easier. #maskup
Are you one of the last people to mask.at your workplace? Or family? Or friend group? . If so let’s see your mask pic or post on this thread so that others know you’re out there! . #TheMaskOfUs ⬅️ you get it? . #MaskUp #Covid19

@sammy4723 Being young and healthy is not a get out of jail free card when I comes to covid - I wish more people understood that.

@LindsayMcA I’m sorry but you can’t CBT your way out of midocondrial based energy loss. It’s not in their heads. It’s literally an inability to access energy properly.

@jonfavs Because exertion during covid, mild or severe, increases the odds of developing long covid. By modeling this behavior, leadership is saying we all should be working while we are sick, which is dangerous messaging, for covid or any illness. He should be modeling rest, not work.

@MeetJess There have been an alarming number of unexpected pilot deaths as of late. I’m worried they are the canary in the coal mine.

@1goodtern Still practicing hardcore covid denial here in the USA 🫠🫠🫠 everyone has a “really bad cold” or “horrible allergies” or a “terrible stomach bug” - the adjectives have gotten more intense though.

@farid__jalali Wide spread repeated immune suppression via covid. This is going to be a wild bingo card of outcomes I fear.

@1goodtern That we forgot even some of the things we already knew in 2019, like hand washing, covering your mouth when you’re coughing, basic human courtesy. It’s like trying to pretend it’s 2019 again, but a worse version of it.

@denise_dewald As a former EMT - I always assume biohazard risk and proceed accordingly. I don’t assume Ebola but I also don’t assume just a GI bleed. Definitely took unknown blood born pathogen precautions. Just like I wear a mask now and don’t assume any indoor air is safe.

@joshfontanilla @Jason_Garcia Because working 40+ hours per week at a minimum wage job can support anyone anywhere 😒 and not having a high school degree almost guarantees that is all they will ever be able to get.

@1goodtern Which makes studies like this all the more alarming - especially the part where 75% of the infected babies lost ground between 6 months and 12 months….

@1goodtern I tutor kids online and literally HALF of my students each week for the last three weeks have cancelled because they’re sick. Most aren’t testing, but when I see them again and they talk about how they felt, I’m convinced it is covid.

@EricTopol India has a large vegetarian population, yet still had a large number of Roscoe’s deaths despite their relatively young population. Feels a bit overstated to me too.

@DGlaucomflecken A good reminder even for those of us who aren’t in medicine. One setback doesn’t erase all of your awesomeness. Just gotta pick yourself up and keep going. Easier said than done, but always worth the reminder. 🥰.

@bphillipsonMP The only way to do so is to clean the air they breathe in schools, so they can stay well enough to be there more. Bonus - less co2 in the air leads to higher concentration. Protects against not just covid but all respiratory illnesses. Why are you not pushing for that?.

@kenklippenstein It looks like a TIA or absence seizure to me. Neither one of those is a good thing. He also seems to be slurring slightly before he stops, which is also not a good sign.

@1goodtern But nothing to see here all is fine. Never mind that even if it’s not covid (and it may be) covid harms the immune system, making everything else SO MUCH WORSE.

@kylegriffin1 I want to know why domestic travelers don’t have this rule too. We should all be safe when we travel and that is the way to do it with masking, especially if they aren’t willing to require vaccines.

@RachelBitecofer But that too didn’t happen in a vacuum. What Hamas did is horrendous. What the Israelis do to the Palestinians is also horrendous. There needs to be a humane answer, because this isn’t it.

@MeetJess We shouldn’t punish pilots for seeking help. It seems like this wasn’t medically justified for him but I do fear we will see more of this going forward (and more severe cases).

@sheeptweetZ None. But that’s the beautiful thing about science - you learn from new data and adapt. I rarely get sick now - I used to get 2-3 respiratory illnesses a year. I’ve had 1 since 2020 - from pollution in India.

@EricTopol @NEJM Exactly - it’s not just covid but NO ONE benefits from a respiratory infection when they’re already medically vulnerable - as most patients in medical settings like hospitals are. Truly how is this not common sense?.

@drclairetaylor @1goodtern @TRyanGregory I’m comparing it to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Acute phase is flu like, long term sequelae show up months to years later, causes immune system deregulation, took a decade of intense uphill activism to get any treatments, required behavior change to mitigate, especially before prep.

@JPWeiland I live here and cannot tell you the number of friends who “have a really bad cold” but keep testing negative on RATs. Most won’t then go get a PCR but the handful that have are all covid positive.

@RolandBakerIII I find more alarming that 4x as many infected were flagged as developmentally delayed and 75% lost ground developmentally between the 6 month and the 1 year follow up….

@ACoupleOkooks I am one of the women who seems to be dealing with this. Age normal estradiol levels in September 2019, menopausal levels in 2021 after a covid infection in December 2021. It’s heartbreaking and horrifying.

@1goodtern I’ve also been thinking - you know who survived the alien/monster/horror movie? The one that doesn’t pretend it’s just a hoax/not real/a prank, but the one that acknowledges this is happening and DOESN’T go in the basement/outside alone/on the rooftop to greet the aliens.
