Really helpful video for people who have questions about the air in LA! t.co/M4PJMVEYbw

Every covid infection increases the risk of long term issues. If you’ve had it 4 times, that’s better than 20 times. The best time to protect yourself was five years ago. The second best time is this very minute. 13/13

1161

If this resonates with you but you feel like it’s too far gone at this point, it’s truly never too late to start protecting yourself again. If you’re in LA and masking outside, keep your mask on inside. If you are elsewhere, start masking again. Even sometimes. 12/

But just like people believe with their whole hearts that the wildfire smoke is fine because it looks fine and they are told it’s fine and everyone around them is acting like it’s fine, you might have fallen for messaging that Covid is safe to keep getting. But it’s not. 11/

1121

Nobody likes to feel like they’ve fallen for propaganda. We think of ourselves as smarter than that and we don’t want to feel like we have been bamboozled. It’s easy to double down when confronted with this. 10/

2101

They were wrong about the air after 9/11. They are wrong about the LA air now. Why is it so hard to believe that they are wrong about Covid? 9/

1133

If the only reason you think Covid is safe is that everyone else is acting like it’s safe, or if it wasn’t “that bad” when you were infected but you have weird new health issues, maybe try to gently examine that. 8/

1100

Yes we have vaccines now and they’re amazing but they don’t prevent transmission, rarely prevent infection, and don’t prevent long covid. The acute emergency phase may be less dangerous now, but the long term effects are just as devastating and are worse with each infection. 7/

290

Other than the fact that other people are acting like it’s safe? When you can see with your own eyes that MANY people are acting like the wildfire air is safe when you know in your bones that it just doesn’t make sense? 6/

181

Can you actually explain how covid, a vascular disease that shut the world down and damages our immune systems long term and is the reason we’re all struggling to recall common words, is somehow safe, other than the fact that they told you it’s now suddenly safe? 5/

1121

The ppl exposing themselves to wildfire air without protection think they are rational humans following guidance. You know better than that because it’s OBVIOUSLY unsafe. So why would Covid somehow be safe to get repeatedly just because you were told it’s somehow ok now? 4/

1121

Ppl walking outside maskless in LA are told the air is safe even though you and I know it just can’t be. Ppl who stopped masking in indoor public spaces were also told it’s safe to keep exposing ourselves to Covid, but it doesn’t actually make sense that it would be. 3/

1142

I need you to know that this is exactly how people have felt for years about Covid. Before I lose you and you think, “that’s stupid, they’re not the same” I invite you to gently examine why they might be. 2/

It’s such a mindfuck to see ppl walk around in LA without masks because we KNOW the air is toxic. Even if the AQI is good, 9/11 showed us that the air was deadly even though officials said it was safe. It’s mind boggling to see people walking around like everything is normal🧵1/

It may seem like it’s “not the time” for Covid talk, but Covid never left and if you’re wearing a mask anyway, you might as well keep it on to protect yourself and each other as much as possible. We are more vulnerable than ever. Air is shared. Let’s take care of each other ❤️

Becca Roth @beccaroth.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

LA people, if you’re masking outside for the air, please keep them on when you enter indoor public places. Covid is still circulating and hospitals are overwhelmed and we need to protect ourselves as much as possible right now. It’s all connected. Stay safe. I love you all.

“The patient who died had underlying conditions and was over the age of 65–“ okay and??? We are a society!!! We are supposed to use our vast collective wealth and resources to protect the most vulnerable!!

Is it pronounced biopic or biopic?

Eating a messy deli sandwich and I reached for my gf’s partially used napkin. She pointed to the two unused napkins and I was like I have to keep those untouched the whole time just in case and then throw them out.

My gf’s mom keeps asking me to explain what’s going on with “Blakely Lovely”

Covid damage is cumulative, so with most people getting it over and over and over with no signs of stopping (no mitigations, virus continues to mutate) AND viral persistence from past infections, it makes sense that it’s getting worse.

1101

But the truth is this could be any of us at any time. This woman’s husband has cancer and she has to navigate the battlefield of unmitigated covid every time she leaves the house, because people don’t think it affects *them.* Just take one moment to think about that. This could easily be you. 4/4

1274

I just want people who consider themselves to be kind and conscientious but don’t mask to consider for a second that you’re making the world less safe for people. Even if you don’t mean to. It’s not hypothetical. This is the reality you’re contributing to. I’m sorry if that makes you feel bad. 3/

We told her she’s absolutely doing the right thing and if anyone gives her a hard time they’re the ones with the problem. She thanked us and told us that she saw us and just needed to say hi. She was clearly looking for connection and she wanted to feel less alone. 2/

Spending holidays in my gf’s hometown where *nobody* else masks. We were just in crowded grocery store and a stranger in a mask came up to us and said she was so happy to see us, that she feels like she stands out but her husband has cancer and she just can’t risk it 🧵 1/

During the pandemic, I got this really cute blue jacket that I just love! I got it yesterday and I can’t wait to wear it!

Oh my god this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen you literally just CAUGHT A VIRUS the way people CATCH VIRUSES

Every health insurance horror story further solidifies my desire to wear a respirator in public and protect my long term health. These gluttonous oligarchs will not do it for you, cuties!

It’s all I can think about, this week has gone by soooo slowly

Making a choice to live like it’s 2019 out of a desire for things to be normal doesn’t *make* them normal.

“If you can’t beat em join em” is literally so defeatist and so herd mentalityish like have the courage of conviction for once omg
