Broadwaybabyto<p>It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day, and my latest article looks at the reasons why people believe they don’t know anyone with Long Covid. </p><p>We desperately need increased visibility into this debilitating chronic illness so that we can raise awareness and fund treatments, mitigations and cures. </p><p>Anyone can get Long Covid. It’s not limited to ‘only the vulnerable’ or those who had a severe initial infection. </p><p>This disease does not discriminate. Even people with asymptomatic initial infections have found themselves disabled by Long Covid. </p><p>It’s time we start processing the trauma of the pandemic and stop living in denial. </p><p>We are in the middle of a mass disabling event, and the longer it takes us to admit that, the more people will be harmed.</p><p>Let’s spread the word that the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting Covid in the first place. </p><p>Wear a mask. Stay home when sick. Clean and ventilate the air. </p><p>When we all agree to care about the air we share, we can begin to bring about real change.</p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-know-anyone-with-long-covid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-kn</span><span class="invisible">ow-anyone-with-long-covid</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovidawarenessday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovidawarenessday</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarscov2</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/wearamask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wearamask</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>Today marks the five year anniversary of Covid being declared a pandemic. Some things I want people to remember: </p><p>The threat is not gone. People are still dying and becoming disabled every single day </p><p>COVID is airborne. It’s always been airborne. Droplet transmission was pushed incorrectly & then doubled down on for economic reasons. If governments admit it’s airborne, they have to spend money upgrading air quality and providing respirators etc. </p><p>The only way to avoid Long Covid is to not get Covid. </p><p>A well fitted respirator like an N95 offers excellent personal protection </p><p>Mask mandates belong in healthcare </p><p>If you’re not masking for your patient, you’re abdicating your responsibility to do no harm </p><p>It costs nothing to open a window and it will improve ventilation and reduce odds of viral spread. Air purifiers work well too</p><p>COVID is a social justice issue. Masks, tests, air filters, paid time off… these things all cost money. The disease disproportionately impacts those who are most vulnerable and multiple marginalized </p><p>Repeat infections don’t make you stronger. They don’t give you immunity. They actually harm your brain, heart and immune system. They’re also NOT inevitable </p><p>Kids are harmed by COVID too. They need the adults to protect them. We need clean in schools and on school buses </p><p>We went “back to normal” for capitalism. It wasn’t because it was safe. It wasn’t because there was a cure. Governments and those in power Are willing to sacrifice us to keep end stage capitalism afloat a little longer </p><p>Repeat infections are NOT inevitable. We can still curb the spread. We don’t have to accept constant sickness and disability as our new normal. </p><p>May we be in a much better place five years from now than we are today. </p><p>If you know someone suffering from Long Covid, reach out to them. Ask them how you can support them. Remind them they’ve not been forgotten. Wear a mask for them. They are counting on you. </p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarscov2</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovidawarenessweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovidawarenessweek</span></a></p>
Denis - The COVID info guy -<p>How denial of airborne COVID transmission broke the world.</p><p>'The failure to initially recognize and later acknowledge the airborne spread of COVID-19, was the root cause of major shortcomings in the pandemic response.'</p><p>"Airborne mitigations would have greatly reduced viral transmission and therefore reduced evolution, that is to say the production of new variants."</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/COVIDisAIRBORNE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVIDisAIRBORNE</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/COVIDisNotOVER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVIDisNotOVER</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/auscovid19" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>auscovid19</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://archive.md/ehzgB" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.md/ehzgB</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Broadwaybabyto<p>For years, folks looked the other way as millions died or became disabled by Covid. They shouted “your health is not my responsibility” or “only the vulnerable” were at risk. </p><p>This callous disregard for human life has desensitized us. It helped pave the way for the current atrocities.</p><p>You can’t label a group of people expendable and not have it change you. </p><p>You can’t turn away in the face of evil and not pay a price. </p><p>Wear a mask. Protect one another. Resist.</p><p>Stand up for anyone & everyone who’s different than you.

Broadwaybabyto<p>Pandemics change people. We aren’t used to dealing with the mass death, disability & uncertainty that comes with them.</p><p>Unfortunately due to technology & misinformation, society is choosing NOT to process its collective trauma.</p><p>Most people are firmly in denial about COVID, and many are grasping on to conspiracy theories and harmful rhetoric in order to return to their 2019 version of “normal”.</p><p>That denial is changing us. Refusing to deal with trauma has consequences. </p><p>We’re becoming more detached, reckless and apathetic. </p><p>There’s still time to change. It starts with acknowledging that the threat has not passed and we all need to do our part to protect our health & the health of those around us. </p><p>We have to begin to adapt so that we can heal. </p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trauma</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COVIDisAirborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVIDisAirborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>It’s hard to believe it’s been half a decade since the first cases of Long Covid were reported</p><p>I remember reading about it and thinking that the sheer size & scope of the problem would mean real progress in the treatment and recognition of complex chronic illness.</p><p>As someone who was suffering from POTS and MCAS, I had hope that COVID would mean medical breakthroughs. Better treatment. Faster time to diagnosis. More effective preventative care. Perhaps even a cure.</p><p>I was so wrong.</p><p>I’ve watched as Long Covid patients experience the same gaslighting, mistreatment and diagnostic delays as those who came before them.</p><p>Not only have we not seen improvements in the way chronic illness patients are treated, we now have 400 million MORE sick patients and nowhere near enough doctors to treat them.</p><p>Wear a mask. Protect your health. Support people with disabilities.

Broadwaybabyto<p>RFK Jr finally recommends vaccination to deal with the measles outbreak hitting Texas right now. </p><p>This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years. </p><p>Just a few days ago he was minimizing the outbreak by saying it was “normal” and recommending vitamin A. </p><p>What changed? Not going to lie… my initial thought was “it must be really bad if RFK Jr is pushing the vaccine”</p><p>Please folks, get your boosters. Wear a mask. Clean the air.

Broadwaybabyto<p>It’s hard to explain the hope I had at the beginning of the pandemic. I was scared, but I also thought we were going to become a more inclusive society. We were going to adapt and become more accessible. We would care more about chronic illness. </p><p>I never imagined we would be capable of ignoring millions dead and 400 million disabled. That we would start blaming people for their comorbids instead of actually mitigating a dangerous multi system virus.</p><p>Having that hope ripped away and replaced with eugenics and fascism has been incredibly painful.</p><p>I still grieve for what could have been. </p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarscov2</span></a></p>
Broadwaybabyto<p>If you think mask bans are “no big deal” because there’s medical exemptions, please consider the following:</p><p>😷 Police are not doctors <br>😷 Many disabilities are invisible <br>😷 Disabled people don’t live in a bubble. I need my friends and caregivers to mask to protect me <br>😷 Everyone should have the right to protect their health, you shouldn’t have to already be sick to be permitted to mask <br>😷 Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers and increases odds of aggression</p><p>The reality is that mask bans are discriminatory, ableist and eugenicist. They push disabled people out of public spaces. They put marginalized and POC at increased risk of police profiling. </p><p>There’s no official policy for a medical exemption either, it’s at police discretion. </p><p>If you’re stopped and questioned, you will have to prove you’re masking for the “right reasons” </p><p>I’m more than willing to admit that if I were stopped by a cop for masking, I would appear nervous, shaky, tachycardic and probably “suspicious”. </p><p>Not because I’m doing anything wrong, but because my illnesses do not respond well to stress and the police are stressful. </p><p>It’s not right to put the onus on the masker to defend their right to mask. We’re still in a global pandemic. Texas has a measles outbreak. There’s tuberculosis in Kansas. Bird flu is spreading and it’s the worst year for influenza A in over a decade. </p><p>Masks are a public health tool. They’re a disability accommodation. They should NOT be criminalized. </p><p>For more on mask bans and medical exemptions, I wrote an article on the Nassau County ban here: </p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/nassau-county-ny-makes-masking-illegal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/nassau-co</span><span class="invisible">unty-ny-makes-masking-illegal</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/nomaskban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nomaskban</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspoli</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>texas</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/northcarolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>northcarolina</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/maskban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maskban</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uglylaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uglylaws</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/h5n1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>h5n1</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>measles</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a></p>
