it doesnβt have to be like this, even when those in power are doing all the can to make change seem impossible. but you can make choices every day that very literally the material reality of all who share air with you, just by wearing a tool that filters.

Oh FFS.
I have people tell me covid isnβt that bad. Then I tell them my story of how it fucked me over.

I really wish this had just carried over and became a norm.
Mask when youβre sick, in a crowded area, in medical settings - if these small changes had stuck we would see so much less disease transmission.
Like, letβs also get fresh air and hepas!
Shared air is gross!
This is a smart business idea, employees facing rising petrol prices when already stretched by cost of living would find releif and some pressure off. WFH also increases productivity despite what the micro managers say
40%! π€― Iβve always believed 10-20% of the gen pop w/ Long Covid is an underrepresention bc not everyone with LC symptoms report it to their Dr. & not every Dr. recognizes symptoms as LC.
Why are you letting yourself become chronically ill? Mask up π· clean the air bc vax does NOT 100% prevent Covid
Bottom line from the last 6 years of COVID research : If youβve got blood vessels, youβd be wise to avoid additional infections.
Now is a great time to normalize wearing a respirator. Might feel awkward at first, but every person who does makes it easier for others to follow. Be a leader. π·

Haha, was going to make a pacing joke about the video! I think from memory that itβs all just question and answer so you can just listen if that helps? (TV is my rest time so I would find no TV really tough). Feel free to DM me if you ever feel like reaching out π»π·
I am generally not a big video watcher but it resonated with me. It explained the crashes in a way that made sense to me by someone with both expertise and experience. And gave me some small but practical things to try. It has helped with some of the daily stuff in a small way.
Thatβs fair!
