Good read! Hermeneutical Injustice is a new concept for me, but it's so useful for processing why conversations go the way they do.

My affected loved one says you're light-years more advanced than we are. Tolerating exertion seems to come and go in waves. Not always expected, but I do think it's getting a little more predictable and manageable with more tracking!

And then the kids ask for the improvised story again a few days later.... Um, what story, what song? 🤣 GenAI would make that process way less fun

“Vaccines, although effective in reducing severe disease, offer only modest protection against long COVID… Governments, health-care systems, and funding bodies must act now by prioritising long COVID as a major medical and research focus…”

I keep selecting and copying specific passages to paste into a quote post, but it's too hard to choose just a sentence or two. Just read the whole thing, y'all! The transformation of the mind through education is a wonderful thing.

Yes. Yes kids should be wearing masks in schools and being given cleaner air. Those masks should be comfy and cheap. Why? Because kids are getting sick with a disease that we know very little about, and what we do know, is looking problematic.

The only way to prevent long COVID is to avoid getting COVID19.  With every infection, there is a risk of developing long COVID.

This is so much simpler and more direct than what I end up saying to people... I'm borrowing Conor's words in post 6 from now on! "ongoing global population infection with SARS-CoV-2 will make the world sicker, through both infection-induced chronic disease and pathogen-pathogen interaction."

Choosing to wear a mask is a radical act of kindness, resistance and community care. It’s a simple yet profound way of saying “I care about my health and others” In this time of rising fascism, survival is resistance. Refusing to treat anyone as expendable is resistance. Masking is powerful

When you see headlines about the rise in cases happening all over the world you will likely notice that many of these end by asking: “What’s driving the surge?” and while the new variant is driving the surge, our refusal to admit that the pandemic never ended is riding shotgun.

It still blows my mind that everyone would rather be sick all the time than mask. I haven’t stopped masking and I don’t intend to. We live in a different world now. Your facade of normalcy is cracked with constant airborne illness.

5 years since the start of the pandemic and it is frustrating that we still need to keep repeating: vaccines, masks, tests, and cleaning the air all play roles in reducing transmission. Wrongly claiming that any of these layers isn’t important is an anti-science stance.

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine. It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions. The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.

“Covid is only a risk to the vulnerable” narrative was made up by governments to convince you to go back to work. To unmask. To spend money. To think of Covid as a problem only “other” people have to worry about so that you will keep propping up capitalism. We are ALL vulnerable.

I know an economist who says when you hear people talk about a “covid like” supply shock it’s a sign that a recession is coming. And I know an epidemiologist who says when you hear people talk about “covid like” colds and allergies it’s a reminder that the pandemic never ended.

Stay safe & avoid infections! "The more new-fashioned and evidence-based idea is that, although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives." #LongCovidAwarenessMonth

"At the end of the day, it [COVID] remains a solvable problem." That is what simultaneously gives me hope and banishes hope, since we are choosing to not solve a problem that we could solve.
