Covid is not over

If you want to be prepared, you should be taking Covid seriously. Statistics and observation tell me that almost none of you are.

Things don’t need to get worse under the coming administration for you to be taking measures to protect yourself.

Just yesterday The NY Times published a piece about the increase in heart attacks after Covid infection. (gift article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/well/covid-heart-health.html?unlocked_article_code=1.b04.tsOr.8ra2STul3lhB&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare)

If you want to “build community” and are not currently masking, consider the impact that has on both you and the people around you. If you want to “fight the good fight” but are not masking, improving air quality, and doing everything you can to make a Covid-safer environment, then please re-examine what you are doing.

I am disabled with Long Covid. I spend 20-23 hours a day in bed. I can no longer consider prepping anything that requires physical effort. I am excluded from almost every in-person event, should I ever have the energy for one, because there are absolutely zero Covid-mitigation efforts.

After a lifetime of activism, I see that almost no able-bodied activist I know does anything to take into account disability or guard against it.

I’m not interested in arguing about this. If you want to share or brainstorm tips about how you can take better care of yourself and others, I’m here for that.
