This is your reminder that us masked folks are setting a good example. At the salon today we were about to leaving and am at least 80 yr old woman randomly said “oh you’re smart for wearing a mask. I should have one on too.” I confirmed that yes she should. She said she just got
her updated vaccine, but said again she should still be masking and I agreed. She said “you can still get it” and I said “yes, and you can still get long Covid and the strokes and heart attacks afterwards.” I asked if she needed one, but she pulled a KN95 out and put it on!
Should I mask in my own home once my daughter starts high school in a few days? I’m so scared of getting my third infection. I just don’t know how long I can do that.
Another masker joined our crew today! She’s a grip. When the lead grip introduced her we got talking about masking and the lead said she still masks indoors sometimes (but isn’t on set) and was very interested to hear what I know about Covid and the vaccines. And suddenly…
After Violet Affleck (among others) shared strong words against banning masks & for protecting our communities with
@LACountyBOS
on Tuesday,
@lapublichealth
was met with a packed room & phone lines echoing: SARS2 is a dangerous virus that requires mitigation in all public spaces.
The electric woman says it’s for the bad smell of the set but admitted it’s advantages to prevent Covid too since she knows we’re in a surge. I’ve been educating lots of people today who actually understand and agree!
Ugh. Daughter is in tears over the new Airgami I got her. Says she looks ugly in it, and that she can feel air escaping through the top. This pandemic is too f’ing expensive.
@syderature
I thought about that when I started watching her videos. My daughter has braces and you can’t go that long without brackets breaking and wires poking out.

did an amazing job today at the LA County Board of Supervisors meeting. Finally after 7 months he scored a meeting with Janice Hahn’s health deputy! 😷💪🎉
The science teacher has 2 air filters in the room. The principal wants me to come in and teach them how to put CR boxes together and wants the science teacher to incorporate it into her lessons!
LA Action: Week 13 of protests to keep
#MasksInHealthcare
is this Saturday, July 22nd, 3PM at Kaiser LA off Sunset / Vermont! Healthcare settings are the baseline of care and ground zero for protections everywhere else. It’s up to us!
@theacecoalition
required to mask, all doors were left open and each room had two air filters.
This wasn’t an easy decision, but her health is the most important thing. She caught Covid days after school started in August and I do not want that to happen again.
All the best,
Heather
This was my email:
Hi,
I kept —— home today, and she’ll also be out at least tomorrow, because schools are not safe right now. SARS-2 numbers are at the second highest they’ve ever been. 2,000 people died in the U.S. last week from Covid. I wish all kids and employees were
And it went better than I could have expected! I handed out 8 packets and each person was very receptive. Most told me they keep the air filter on in the room, and doors open, and some even thanked me for taking the time to do this.
@drseanmullen
This is why I’m not exercising at all again and sleeping as much as possible until I know for sure I don’t have Long Covid. Was infected end of Feb and Long Covid doesn’t start for months afterwards.
Never met these two people before and I asked them several times to stop following and harassing me. The one in yellow claimed they are a journalist for KPFK, both spoke during the LA County Public Health Commission public comment.
@DonEford
Today my daughter’s friend’s mom was talking about how sick her other kid has been over and over. She said she’s trying to boost his immune system. I told her I know exactly what’s causing that. He’s had Covid at least 3 times.
My daughter and I, and a friend, are getting Novavax tomorrow in the valley in LA. So there might be a vial with 2 doses left if anyone is ready and wants to save them from being thrown out!
Okay
@lapublichealth
you’re getting better…now use a real respirator that actually works with airborne pathogens instead of a baggy blue that only helps with droplets.
Enjoy the holidays with family and friends! Don’t let respiratory illnesses, like flu, COVID-19 and RSV, disrupt your plans. Being proactive can significantly reduce your chances of getting sick. Learn more at

@aftab_usa
I also think it varies person to person. My daughter and I had different symptoms but the same variant. I never had a sore throat, but she did. She didn’t have muscle spasms but I did.
@tbas7000
We are in a 1 bdr apt. She sleeps in the bdr where I have a mini CR box. I sleep in the living room where there’s a reg sized CR box with one filter, not 4. I just bought the supplies to make another mini box for the bathroom.
Yay we’re all Novavaxed! If you’re thinking about it and are in the San Fernando Valley there is an open vial with 3 more doses available until 6 pm. CVS in Target 5711 Sepulveda Blvd.
Is there anywhere in the US where Covid-cautious parents are pod-schooling their high schoolers? I am desperate for an answer other than becoming infected over and over. Willing to move anywhere at this point. I cannot homeschool on my own bc she has a learning disability.

begins in less than 24 hours! With cases surging, more than ever it's important for us to demand better policies to protect our communities. We've had enough inaction from our public officials, it's up to us. Who's in?
@arianek
Yep every time I ask maintenance to wear one while in my apt they never give me a hard time. I always provide them and often times they bring their own.
@emarshall70
@BrianEntin
No they didn’t! That supervising cop MADE UP in his own damn mind that she was the primary aggressor. They never ran Brian or Gabby’s driver’s licenses, they didn’t talk to the other witness who said Brian was hitting Gabby. They did multiple things wrong!!
@scott_squires
She does mask at school, and unfortunately we’re in a small 1 bdr apt so no space at all. I am going to do the pressure thing with the big CR box aimed at the open screen door.
@LAUSDSup
You should be ashamed. Knock on my door and I won’t answer. If you care about kids being in school, require masking and air filtration in every room.
@dianaberrent

@CDCgov
Not good enough! In other countries people are getting
#Novavax
without restrictions like that and no one is having issues from it. Give it to anyone who wants it!
@ChrisFreilich
We have one on this shoot (not masked though) but you should join our Covid cautious discord server. We started making videos and we need CC crew because we want to start shooting in person.
@WriterArtistEH
She masks at school, but not as much as I’d like outdoors. She has to eat outside with others. She won’t upgrade her KN95 unfortunately- she’s really difficult. Will do more testing.
Just sitting at an outside table, minding my own business when one stood next to me and the other took our picture. I covered my face and said “don’t take my picture. I don’t know you.” After I got my food, they took my picture again while I was eating.
I reached my gofundme goal and even surpassed it thanks to someone who donated $2000.00 today. I’m literally crying. I can pay all the bills and buy my kid new clothes. Thank you to everyone who donated, but especially Megan, whoever you are!
@MissHot
@choo_ek
My daughter and I didn’t. We went to DLand several times in the last year and never had Covid that we know of. We wore KN95’s even outside, and used a personal HEPA filter when inside places like
#hauntedmansion
and the
#spacemountain
line. Only ate when necessary and outdoors.
If only there was an answer. Oh wait Novavax for kids is the same dose as for adults, and all of it is sitting in warehouses not yet approved for under 12’s even though it’s proven safe.

We have more housing than homeless people. Landlords would rather sit on an empty apartment and wait for someone to come along who will pay an outrageous amount for the rent.
Please call in today to tell the LA County Board of Supervisors to bring back masks in healthcare! Surgical masks for the unvaccinated aren’t good enough! Long Beach & Pasadena are part of LA but have their own healthcare systems and they both have universal masking! Why not LA??
COVID-19 can infect you without making you feel sick.
Low rates of infection awareness may be the key to rapid transmission within communities.
Only half of the study participants even knew they were sick.
My daughter has Covid again. This will be her (at least) 2nd time but she may have had it 3 times now. If I get it from her it will be my 3rd also.
Day 1- massive headache, throat feeling a little funny, fatigue, negative test.
Day 2- just fatigue.
‼️🚨📣 ATTENTION!!! 📣🚨‼️
We need u to call in 2 the Los Angeles Public Health meeting today!
Even if u aren’t from LA please join us in demanding they rescind their policy of the ridiculous 1-day isolation & lack of masks in healthcare settings! Starts soon at 10:30 am!
Called 13 orthodontists yesterday for my daughter and the one I chose was the only one where all staff masks. They wear level 3 surgical masks and the Dr wears an N95. They have a separate room with a door they agreed she could be seen in.
My congressperson
@BradSherman
also voted to rescind the Covid funds, take Snap benefits from poor people, fund a massive pipeline, and screw over people with student loans.
My congressperson
@robertgarcia
voted to rescind $30 billion in unspent COVID funds during the ongoing pandemic that should be used to protect our families and communities. How did your congressperson vote?

She is going into high school so I haven’t yet. I did at her middle school. I was told the other day there are air purifiers in every room and the teachers are supposed to keep them on.
@navydentist1
@BNOFeed
It’s much higher than 16,239. That number isn’t counting all the hospitalizations, that happen from Long Covid: heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms, kidney failure, liver failure, diabetes, opportunistic infections, to name just a few.
A short news blurb on radio station 104.3 here in LA just said “officials are urging people to take common sense precautions to avoid getting COVID-19 and avoid a summer surge”
Fantastic! But would have been easy and so helpful to add “like wear a mask”
We need to show up in strong numbers this Tuesday, August 15th, at the LA County Board of Supervisors this Tuesday! RSVP at the link below to speak at public comment (in person or virtually) and protest! Our presence and voices is what will make the difference!
