You know what sucks? Watching your 19 year old daughter too weak and tired to do simple tasks. Yesterday we went to my aunt's house for the 4th. She was too weak and tired to HOLD her plate of food. People kept asking her if she was OK. 1/
She was shaking from exhaustion. All she did was sit, she wasn't exerting herself. This is my child, she has no quality of life and it's hard to watch. Her rheumatologist wouldn't even listen to us. I'm so frustrated, her life is over before it began 2/

I had to seek emergency care for a severe allergic reaction. I had to remove my N95 during the ER exam and again today for a follow up exam. I shouldn't be worried about catching a BSL-3 virus in healthcare. This is beyond absurd, but here I am🤷🏻♀️ Praying I haven't been exposed

I just heard his ad on tv again this morning, makes me angry every time. And I don't know who needs to hear this, BUT "illegals" (his words, not mine) are NOT, nor have they ever been eligible for "Welfare" There are citizenship requirements for govt benefits
@JoJoFromJerz
The thing I can't wrap my head around, is these conservatives saying that ectopic pregnancies should not be aborted. Ectopic pregnancies never go to term and are fatal if not medically treated

My little guy is the only one in his class that masks, and I've not seen another kid mask in the whole school. It's so incredibly brave of these kids
@StephTaitWrites
This terrifies me. I'm a tiny Hispanic woman, I've already had a huge man get really upset over my mask, luckily there were several shoppers in between us, so he stormed off. I'm pretty feisty, but can only do so much
@MeetJess
My ten year old son received a gift certificate for only missing 2 days of school for the whole year. He told me, "it's probably because I wear a mask, I didn't get sick". So my fourth grader understands more than the adults in the room
@MLS_Dave
This morning I was at the hospital lab and a very sick baby was coughing while on his mom's lap waiting for testing. I kept squeezing the nose strip on my mask willing it to seal harder on my face, lol
@1goodtern
About 3 months after my 1st (hopefully only) covid infection, I had a CFS/ME flare up. I asked the doctor if it could have been triggered by my infection and she told me too much time had passed🤷🏻♀️
@MeetJess
I am a Novid no more. My husband had a colonoscopy on the 21st and we are both sick 😫 This is for the birds, never again. And it's ridiculous that we can't even seek healthcare without putting our health in danger.
@1goodtern
I don't knew what to do in those situations. Do you say something, bite your tongue? I've tried to say a few things about Covid, but get shut down.

Yes!!! I have an immune deficiency and I follow doctors on Twitter and actively seek out the COVID numbers. Even people that are aware of my condition think I'm bonkers, but I don't really care because I've managed to stay safe
Annual cost of SNAP: $113B
Annual revenue lost through billionaire tax evasion: $163B
GOP: Clearly the only solution to solving our debt crisis is cutting $113B in food benefits to poor people.
@nursekelsey
When we got our first case of COVID this year, I specifically left a message at the school stating I didn't care what the policy was, that my child would be out for the week. They had a little bit of a fit about it, but I don't care, I didn't want to get other children sick
@FrankMikeDavis1
I believe a lot of it stems from religion. Women are raised to believe they are less than. My mom was fairly evolved, but she worried about my soul because I told her no way would I submit to my husband as head of the family.

I will see elderly people, sometimes on oxygen wandering around the store unmasked. Brand new babies with their parents at the grocery store

@DrJudyStone
the sickest, among us, need to use medical facilities and pharmacies more often than others and we are not protected. I'm already doing as much as I physically can to protect myself, my world is getting smaller and smaller
@mhdksafa
The 1st time someone on Twitter told me to go back to Mexico, it really hurt. Just know that there are good people out there. You're wanted and respected💙
@TurnTexas_Blue
I drive 25 minutes out of my way to go to a craft store that isn't Hobby Lobby. My family thinks I'm bonkers, but what are you gonna do right😁
I'm just a girl, sitting in an N95, getting IVIG for a primary immune deficiency, listening to the other patients talk about how sick they've been, and how everyone they know is sick. I can hear the other unmasked patients in other rooms coughing up a lung. Bonkers😳
@MeetJess
I have common variable immune deficiency. In my lifetime I've caught every cold, pink eye, flu, bronchitis, etc. I have been the healthiest that I've ever been since I have been masking. I will never go without a mask again.
@theliamnissan
This makes me think of the campground that I went to a few years back. Confederate flags everywhere. I (Mexican-American) hated it there and wanted to leave
@MLS_Dave
I get ivig every four weeks. Every patient in the infusion room has a primary immune deficiency. I am the only patient that masks.... the others look at me like I'm an alien
@NjbBari3
I have common variable immune deficiency, I wish I had been wearing masks years ago, I could have saved myself so many infections and illnesses 🤷🏻♀️
@TRyanGregory
I got raked over the coals for keeping my sick son home. I stood my ground, let the school know my reasoning for the absences. The school can kick rocks, if they aren't going to protect the kids, they at least shouldn't question my judgement
@MeetJess
My husband decided to go to a bar for four hours with co-workers last night. I slept in another room and now everything is tense and awful. I hate everything😟
@wxyzdetroit
For all you "clever" people in the comments talking about trans surgery, everything I've seen says it is eighteen or older to get surgery. And if you are against "grooming", then you should be happy about the end of child marriages
