IF. YOU. ARE. SICK. AND. GO. INTO. PUBLIC (Especially without a mask). YOU. ARE. NON-CONSENSUALLY. EXPOSING. OTHERS. TO. PATHOGENS. WITH. IMUNNE. SYSTEMS. YOU. KNOW. NOTHING. ABOUT.
It IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO STAY HOME AND PROTECT OTHERS.
Sister called to tell me our grandpa was admitted to the hospital bc he was having trouble using his legs & also tested positive for Covid. Told me they waited to call me bc they didn't want to get yelled at about Covid...
Because everyone that visits him doesn't mask

YES I was just going to say "bring that baby & feed them with those titties!"
If they say it's inappropriate, just tell them your doing it bc of the formula shortage. Plus, isn't that what the right always says? "Just breast feed" 😏
Update on my mom- by the time she had her appendectomy, she had waited over 12 HOURS and her appendix was NECROTIC. Literally dying inside her.
I know ERs do the best they can, but are they though? If they aren't requiring N95s for every single person, staff included? /1
If I die suddenly, I want people to know that I truly did everything I possibly could to protect others from Covid. I care deeply about my fellow human, even if they don't care about themselves & others. I don't want children, & my family thinks I'm mental,
I cannot believe these Olympic athletes are risking everything they've worked so hard for with no covid precautions. I can't believe the people around them are fine with jeopardizing everything they've worked for.
Can we start a thread of single, masked, covid cautious baddies looking for other single, masked, covid cautious baddies? It's lonely out here. I'll start

My work- a public health department- just made a policy change to "treat COVID like any other respiratory virus" and I want to SCREAM. Cited the
@CDCgov
as the reason.

you are NOT providing equitable care to Americans. You are NOT sharing up to date information.

^^edit I am EMBARRASSED I didn't catch the incorrect use of "your". I promise I am typically not one of those people!!!!
you're*******
Researching any possible complications she could have as a result. And of course, worrying about her being infected with SARS-CoV-2. Going to wear all the PPE when I see her tomorrow. THIS IS WHY MASKS ARE NEEDED IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS AND SHARED SPACES. /2
If you live in the US STOP FEAR MONGERING ABOUT LOCKDOWNS. Watch the movie "Outbreak". THAT'S a real lockdown. We could still go places & do things. Not saying it wasn't a disruption, but it wasn't a real lockdown. My god
Im so fucking tired of trying to educate people on the risks not only to themselves, but their loved ones. The amount of people disabled or dead from COVID + the overwhelm of people sick with COVID (or other pathogens they were more susceptible to after repeat COVID infections)/3
I'm so tired of doctors and health care "professionals" aiding the spread of this horrific virus because they simply aren't educated themselves. When will this end? /4
I canNOT believe that healthcare professionals literally refuse to look at the evidence surrounding respirators, as well as refusing to enforce universal respirators for all staff/patients/visitors.
Vaccines 👏 will 👏 never 👏 be 👏 enough 👏 to 👏 protect 👏 people👏 from 👏 Covid 👏
Vaccines 👏 will 👏 never 👏 be 👏 enough 👏 to 👏 protect 👏 people👏 from 👏 Covid 👏
Ventilation, mandated high quality respirators in all public spaces & healthcare spaces, filtration
It's a beautiful night for a CDC whistleblower to expose the CDC & show that they are aware of the dangers but cannot admit their mistakes bc optics
🤞🤞🤞
@MLS_Dave
Wouldn't you want someone working in the medical field who understands how dangerous pathogens can be....? I'd rather have that than someone who thinks exposing oneself "strengthens the immune system"
Thank you to everyone who replied and sent kind words/ emojis. I've been feeling so incredibly lonely, so this is truly helping 🫶 I hope each & every one of you & your loved ones live long, healthy, happy lives 🩷
And to the trolls eat my farts
@prntgdcolonized
THIS! My dad always told me to stand up to my bullies, never realizing he decimated my ability to stand up for myself. As a 30 year old ADULTS, I constantly struggle to speak up for myself & have gotten into sketchy situations due to my paralyzing fear.
@SNeurotypicals
YES OMG it's infuriating. Our brains lack the "brakes" to focus on things that need our attention. It's been seen on MRIs that the brain processes involved in attention & "zoning out" act differently
@1badcat76
I blame them 100%. I blame the CDC the most because all other levels of govt follow them. I tried asking for universal masking (N95) & they said "well the CDC isn't recommending that so we aren't" 😒😒
Hey
@CVSHealth
how do you justify requiring masks to get a PCR test from your drive through-outside- but don't require masks inside the store? It makes absolutely zero sense, common or scientific
Oh god I have some trolls latching on to me because of my masked picture. I guess that's what I get for responding to people that probably lost too much gray matter from 4+ Covid infections
Honestly what's the point of having a civil society if most people think it's their God given right to do whatever the hell they want, regardless of how it impacts others? Why stop at red lights? I don't want to wait. Why wait in a line?
@syderature
100% child abuse & these parents should be charged & forced to learn about communicable diseases. This is the problem with our individualistic country!
To my fellow
#CovidIsNotOver
#COVIDIsAirborne
folks- I feel it's time to upgrade my PPE to a P100 & goggles, but my cPTSD has prevented me from doing so. I religiously wear my N95 & have no problem, but am fearful of ridicule/violence if I switch. Suggestions?
@robcrilly
@ashishkjha
why are you refusing to push a vaccine plus strategy? Masks are one of the best ways to reduce transmission. I'm just baffled that you continue to push vaccines when it's clear the virus is mutating faster than ppl care to vaccinate
I'm so tired of having the constant dismissal & refusal to acknowledge that respirators reduce transmission. It's been 3 years & a fuck ton of studies later. FFS
@jaclynmacrae
The fact that this cardiologist didn't mention avoiding infection by wearing a high quality mask & pushing for clean indoor air MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL
@2manycameras
Thank you. My sister was crying & said "I don't want to hear it right now!" As soon as I got off the phone I SCREAMED and my partner just listened (bless his soul)
@MLS_Dave
It really isn't. & I'm fine with living like this if it means I can continue doing things I may not be able to if I became disabled or died early
@silentanb
It's NEVER over the top- it's the perfect amount of keeping yourself and your loved ones safe. Fear is an evolutionary adaptation for a REASON & we have plenty of evidence to support it. Stay safe!
@drseanmullen
The whole narrative of "I can't be afraid" and "life is short so I'm just gonna live" fails to realize that death isn't the worst outcome- it's being disabled in this capitalistic hellhole with no competent doctors or treatments. Talk about wasting your life away. I'm sorry :/
@MagisterBracey
I promise you, it may feel that way but you're not alone! I work at a health department (epi) & my 4 team members + a few others still wear our masks. It's frustrating as hell
I truly think autistic kids/other kids with sensory issues NEED a day or two with at-home schooling. Do you think something like that would have helped?
The craziest thing to me is the lack of discussion on airborne transmission. We know it's a thing. We know it's the main way Covid spreads. We know in order to reduce viral particles being exhaled, we need clean air & mandatory (free) respirators in all public spaces /1
@gtamoeb
@IppokratisAnge1
You sound like you're being defensive/cruel because someone said similar things to you ("don't complain"). I suggest you heal that hatred & trauma. Everyone deals with things differently. And it's not "complaining", it's venting & seeking connection. Things that help recovery
@prntgdcolonized
And worse, that kid grows up into an adult with crippling anxiety & cannot speak up for themselves or others due to crippling fear (speaking from experience). It's truly harmful to the child
"The Program" is finally out on Netflix & I'm only 10 minutes in and my blood is BOILING. How can these parents think that having their kids forcefully abducted and taken to a "school intended to correct bad behavior"? ITS ABUSE.
@LowlyWorm2022
@twee_i_a
My family will be like "life is short, we would die for you" while also not bothering to wear a mask. Then wondering why I won't hangout with them 🙃
@MylesTeteak
@iluminatibot
Microplastics were found in brains and in the plaque in our arteries 😬
Non-stick products are still sold despite being linked to cancer
I literally don't think I can work anywhere that doesn't have proper Covid precautions. I'm struggling to find a remote job that pays well & keeps me engaged. If I would've know public health would turn into individual health, I wouldn't have spent $$$ getting my Master's
@EpiEllie
I just said this to someone else- I'm starting to believe the "and Prevention" part of the CDC's name was a typo they were hoping no one noticed..
@kkristtenn
Worked in a chiro office as a rehab assist. & pretty sure the front desk woman had two strokes from this. The chiro I worked for also didn't believe in germ theory & told parents not to vax their newborns.. I ✌🏼after that
@StephTaitWrites
Did these people run into the gas station? Grocery store? My father told me he "doesn't do anything except go to the store, gym, and work". Many think if they aren't out @ bars they are "being safe".
Can someone please share studies showing immune damage? My friend claims to have read many studies that do not show that, so he doesn't think that's an actual risk.
@GaetaAmy
@ekverstania
We DEFINITELY should. Those of us that understand this need to hold strong & continue making it our new "normal". I'm so done allowing the loud minority to control how we respond
@itchypooper
WHAT. I have emetephobia and this is beyond terrifying. When you say vomiting for 24 hours- how much time passes between episodes? I hope she recovers smoothly & quickly!
LMAO to the people trolling this tweet with their extremely uneducated "COVID IS THE FLU KAREN" I sincerely hope you & your loved ones don't die an early death or become disabled and are bed bound for the rest of their life. But yea, go off
@RealCandaceO
Candace- what is a major reason do commit crimes? For money so they can pay for basic needs. If more $ is allocated to providing basic needs/social determinants of health, crime decreases. I know you're smart enough to understand this.
@DeVerdadera1
@oldfshndanne
If this is credible, this makes so much sense. When people hear this they'll deny is IMMEDIATELY. We need to make a comparison to cordeyceps in that the infection manipulates the host into acting in ways favorable to the virus
@GGdeBoCo
@_mbdr_
I literally just cried to my partner and said "people act like I'm some Q-Anon person screaming about lizard people!" Thank you so much
I would love to see more mental health/ ADHD assessments for people with substance use disorders-
people with ADHD are 5-10x more likely to become a person with substance use disorder (trying to use more non-stigmatizing language).
@TerriGerstein
Tried explaining this to my employer & they just responded "well CDC / the state aren't recommending what you are {universal masking} and we remain in a medium level"
... like, did they not read my email?
@catladyactivist
My family member works there, in oncology, & said her pts "regularly ask her to take her mask off, &if that makes them happy, that's all that matters to me". they just don't understand, nor do they want to. Bc they'll have to come to terms w how reckless & dangerous they've been
My brain struggles to fathom how people can justify not wearing a mask after COVID but ALSO coughing-with no attempt to shield whatever is coming out-into everyone's shared breathing space. And think it's ok. Perfectly acceptable.
Like how
@sonnyjanewise
and you'd also get assistance to pay for your bills. I think that's the hardest part about taking a true break to recover from burnout. Our capitalistic hellhole makes it nearly impossible to truly recover
@heyokavoy
@nirahymanwrites
THIS THIS THIS. I'm so tired of hearing "life is short you shouldn't live in fear" meanwhile they're actively shortening their lives and/or making it so they can't enjoy life bc they're so sick and bed bound.
@waltz_tales
I want to but I'm currently still living paycheck to paycheck so I can't even think about preparing cause I'm trying to survive 🙃 would love to move closer to more Covid people, like a commune or something 😣
@ClareWilsonMed
@taipan168
LOL I love that you only respond to people who agree with your very VERY incorrect information. I know it's hard to accept information that goes against what we want to believe, but that doesn't mean it's not true. My god Claire, you're a horrible journalist

#stillcoviding
- we need to change "masks" to "respirators". I know respirators is more of a mouth full, but when the avg person hears "mask" they think of surgical or cloth, which don't protect against airborne transmission. /1
@LostMyInhaler
@charliclement_
And to make it worse, those people will still completely miss the fact that THEIR ACTIONS caused this harm to you & your family. This is why the "you do you" approach will never work for an airborne communicable disease
Let's not forget that Andrew Finch was murdered by Kansas Police officer Justin Rapp. Andrew Finch bled out for 15 min before any assistance was given. Police forced his niece to walk over him as he was dying. She then unalived herself.
Going through the usual new employee blood-borne pathogens training & hearing things like "it's your workplace's responsibility to provide a workplace free or recognized hazards". Imagine if we took aerosols as seriously as we do BBP & water sanitation
