#covid pandemic

it’s so frustrating how my october covid infection has RUINED certain foods for me!!!! i can’t eat french fries anymore … being vegan (and autistic..and someone who recovered from an ED) that was like the easiest thing in the world to get off any menu, easiest meal to make at home.. i ate them sooo much. i wonder if how often i ate them has anything to do with it! but whenever i start to eat potato products, as soon as i’m about to swallow and the food gets to the back of my mouth it TASTES DISGUSTING suddenly, a very distinct taste. it happens with french fries and even veggie straws :(

there are so many reasons to take precautions to avoid covid. don’t let all your safe foods get ruined :(

Nassau County of Long Island, New York passed a mask ban bill today. Please make a habit of calling your city, county, state, and federal representatives expressing your opposition to mask bans because fascist legislative proposals like this is absolutely going to be domino effecting throughout the US. AND WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC. WEAR A MASK TO NOT ONLY PROTECT US, BUT SUPPORT US.

Editing to add (8/14/2024): Please read the recent update.

at urgent care and the sheer number of people with covid in here is absurd. if you haven't gotten the most recent vaccination, NOW is the time to get it. if you arent wearing a mask, NOW is the time to start. protect yourself and others as much as you can! you will regret it if you don't.

Salmonella is "a part of life" too, but y'all don't go around forcing others to lick raw chicken. Why have you given up all caution around covid and other airborne diseases?

[superdogbiter]

People who caught it put in the tags what year it was and how bad it was and if you had any side effects

tumblr just nuked @milf-adjacent's blog with zero warning, no explanation from staff or e-mail whatsoever. her blog has been a vital resource for documenting COVID-19, and she did nothing ban worthy. she seems to be another target of the transmisogyny being carried out by staff.

don’t understand how anyone with a curious bone in their body doesn’t get why banning any sort of face covering outright is fascism but that seems to be where we’re at right now. the reason we were all ‘forced’ into our homes (and i know for a fact many of us here in the states never actually stayed at home the entire time early into the pandemic so stop lying) was because there was and and still is a massive disabling disease running rampant and killing people! people died! and people are still dying to this day!! statistically right now 1 in 40 US Americans has COVID! you continue to spread it by walking around unmasked! It’s one thing to sit here and say you don’t want to wear a mask. Perfectly fine by me at this point. Drink up the toxic air filled with a bsl-3 pathogen, micro plastics, wildfire smoke, and lord knows what else. I don’t care anymore but coming on here and claiming that you were forced when there were people at the start of the pandemic refusing to mask is absolutely ludicrous. Just say you don’t care about your health and the health of anyone else around you and be quiet. These mask bans are about the student protestors for Palestine, DRC, now Lebanon and many other parts of the world where contradictions are at an all time high. These mask bans are about using ai to track us better and to carry out violence on people of color, especially black bodies. These mask bans are about disabled people as many people in my previous post have mentioned and how the state wants to cull as many undesirables as possible. This isn’t about you. This is about the future and the world we want to live in.

It’s not hard to connect the dots between the anti-vaccine extremists, including Premier Danielle Smith, who now dominate Alberta’s United Conservative Party and the admission by a beleaguered Alberta Health Services that it is shutting down its long-COVID clinics in Calgary, Edmonton and Sherwood Park. AHS, once a model of how to run a modern integrated provincial public health-care agency, is in the early stages of being broken up by Smith’s government, which is bent on relitigating the 2020-to-the-present COVID-19 pandemic from a MAGA perspective that denies the reality of the disease, believes life-saving vaccines kill children and views public health measures as a totalitarian control mechanism. However the desire to shutter the seven long-COVID clinics was communicated to the cowed current leaders of AHS, it is safe to assume this reckless decision did not originate with health-care professionals at a time when medical researchers are still trying to unravel the mysteries of long COVID.

If you're waiting for public officials to tell you that covid is in fact still here and that you should in fact still be masking & regularly getting tested, it would already be too late by then. I need more people to let it sink in that the US government's first and (probably only) priority is the economy, as opposed to being honest about covid.

Rich people and government officials like the PotUS are still making it mandatory to mask when interacting with them.

Rich people and government officials like the PotUS get PCR tested and make it mandatory for everyone to do the same before interacting with them.

Rich people and government officials like the PotUS are making it mandatory to make sure everywhere they go has filtered, clean air.

They are protecting themselves and still taking precautions during this on-going pandemic while lying to our faces that the pandemic is over. They may be maskless on camera, but they're sure as fuck rushing to get tested after the fact.

If you're waiting for these people to be honest with you about covid & to tell you how to protect yourself, it would already be too late by then.

COVID IS NOT JUST A FUCKING COLD. IT'S NOT A COLD.

getting COVID multiple times does NOT decrease your risk of serious complications.

COVID is SERIOUS ILLNESS that can KILL you, even IF you're perfectly healthy beforehand.

you CANNOT rule out whether serious complications will happen to your our others.

if you're sick MASK UP, and STAY HOME whenever possible.

Reminder that if you are going to TwitchCon, DreamHack, PAX, or any other event, to please mask up. The virus is still out there. I know of a creator who had to quit streaming because of Long Covid.
