The best part about the poem "First They Came" is it skips all the disabled people killed due to Aktion T4. Because even Pastor Martin Niemöller was fine with disabled people dying.
This is a post about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and current US Politics.

I’m in the #CovidIsNotOver crowd and still wearing my N95, especially if I’m going to deal with 1000 total strangers. Rough average in the US is 1 in 60 have an active infection. So if I do see 1000 people today, probably something like 16 will have an active infection. Virginia’s rates currently are pretty moderate. Maybe it’ll be less than 16. But there’s no reason to think there will be zero people with #covid #voting.
Of the 15 officers in my #poll precinct, 2 of us are wearing masks. Few #voters are masking, maybe 5 out of 200. Airflow is good in the room.
We offer free #masks to those who want them. But it’s a bit pointless. Nobody who wants a mask shows up without one.

And yet another study showing that Covid spreading through healthcare is bad. While it recommends better monitoring, it doesn't point out that masks would solve the issue...
COVID on the Floor Linked to Outbreaks on Two Hospital Wards
The viral burden of SARS-CoV-2 on floors, even in healthcare worker–only areas, was strongly associated with COVID-19 outbreaks in two acute-care hospitals

COVID on the Floor Linked to Outbreaks on Two Hospital Wards
SARS-CoV-2 burden on the floor was linked to outbreaks in two acute care hospitals, suggesting that floor sampling could play a role in localized surveillance of the virus.Fran Lowry (Medscape)
(Indigo:) Does anyone know if it's possible to get Covid and/or flu vaccinations in your home in Salem, Oregon? We're 98% bedbound with Very Severe ME/CFS and definitely can't get to a pharmacy without a bad crash.
Our case manager said she couldn't find any mobile vaccine places here. We've also tried googling.
Boosts appreciated!
“People think, oh, I’ve gotten COVID, so that should give me some immunity. That’s actually wrong. It turns out that having COVID once gives you a little bit of immunity to that variant, but it doesn’t really give you much immunity at all to the next variant. So with new variants emerging every month, you only have about four to six weeks of immunity, effectively, from catching COVID.”
Excellent piece! Please read

"COVID goes against a lot of what people in the United States have been told about viruses and what has come to be common sense. The most common viruses in the U.S. are seasonal, but COVID circulates year-round, more like tropical viruses. Moore highlights that this makes COVID fundamentally different from the flu and, crucially, the vaccination cycle for the flu, where annual vaccination works because it can account for the variants that have evolved in the opposite hemisphere. Since COVID circulates everywhere year-round, annual vaccinations are not enough to keep up on the latest variants. Beatrice Adler-Bolton adds that COVID surges in the United States are not related to seasons but rather to moments of intense travel, like Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend, the holidays in November and December, and Spring Break."

"The Patient-Led Research Collaborative is a group of Long COVID patients and patients with associated illnesses such as ME/CFS and POTS, who are also researchers. We were born out of the Body Politic Slack support group and did the first research on Long COVID in April 2020. We are all researchers in relevant fields – biomedical research, participatory research, neuroscience, cognitive science, public policy, machine learning, human-centered design, health activism – in addition to having intimate knowledge of COVID-19."
Woman, 36, almost passed out while walking. She was in heart failure due to COVID-19
today.com/health/coronavirus/w…
on the one hand, i am extremely thankful that 1) she is recovering and 2) this made national news
but i am absolutely terrified that if she hadn't been a white woman, hadn't had good insurance, hadn't had the ability to take off work then we never would've known. and that means this has definitely happened to people who were not privileged enough to receive support to recover.

this is a reminder as to why white people need to be accomplices: med-mastodon.com/@luckytran/11…
marginalized people have been screaming this shit for years but have (1) privileged white person say something and all of a sudden some shit is taken seriously
i appreciate what violet is doing (especially since her parents sure aren't doing the same thing as far as we can see) and it's important but i want us to remember that for every white person who is recognized for speaking up there are countless people of marginalized identities who've been saying the same thing, longer and have been ignored if not outright violently silenced

No Mask Bans (Actions You Can Take)
Politicians across the US – from North Carolina, to New York State to Chicago – are pushing for mask bans. We all have a responsibility to fight this attack on our rights, our bodily autonomy, our privacy and our health. If you stopped masking, now is a good time to reengage with this practice in public spaces, and particularly in political gatherings. If you are organizing an event, please require and distribute high quality masks as visible expressions of solidarity.

Too many children with long COVID are suffering in silence. Their greatest challenge? The myth that the virus is 'harmless' for kids
They're losing their formative years to this debilitating disease. But for too many children with long COVID, finding help is a frustrating and traumatic process that leaves them feeling isolated and invisible.Hayley Gleeson (ABC News)

"In March of 2020 I was attacked on my way home from work.
The man grabbed me, shook me, coughed in my face & laughed ‘You’re sick now’
I thought it was a cruel joke. I was wrong.
I had contracted Covid & I never recovered.
I have been diagnosed with ME/CFS, POTS & MCAS.
I am mostly bed bound & barely able to manage the most basic of tasks.
I have no financial support from from family or government & no supplemental insurance.
I have been unable to work since, after over 2 years my savings have been wiped out & my hope of a spontaneous recovery has dwindled.
I’ve lost my business & my autonomy."

This GoFundMe was created since November 2022 and I didn’t change the goal as I realized that many people didn’t support my cause.
I want to Thank everyone once again that helped support my cause. Many things have changed and my family and I are trying to do our best to survive every medical crisis our family is facing.
My first born daughter has one of the most aggressive form of cancer including my first son that also needs immediate medical treatment and financial support.
It’s devastating for me as illnesses serve as a barrier and a set back for me and my children in the last few years.
This is another call out for support. Please share the link to anyone that can help thank you."
