Covid19 should be declared an occupational health disease for ALL workers as in Peru. Covid is airborne and everywhere. Long COVID is going to be a major economic burden & workers should have the rights to not end up losing their livelihood from COVID. www.covid19litigation.org/news/2023/09... - ThreadSky

It’s frightening that people and governments are willing to take that gamble.

Yep we can’t eradicate this thing anymore but it’s still just as much a risk as it was in 2020 we can’t just pretend it isn’t happening.

Governments need to do something about it.

I think we have the technology to possibly eliminate it still. Or at least drive it into very much small outbreaks. There is much better technology for testing now & Hepa. No doubt in my mind that millions will get long covid unnecessarily.

I think the 3 times I’ve tested positive I’ve been fortunate to avoid long covid but it’s a gamble so I’ll ideally try and avoid Round 4.

Especially as Round 3 was completely asymptomatic there’s no way I’ll be that lucky next time.

Yes that’s very wise. Well worth getting a Hepa etc if you haven’t got one. I have found my home is so much healthier without all the dust etc as well. I also wear a 3M Aura as cases are so constantly high.

It’s the false narrative put out of accepting deaths etc that we could have always prevented had they spent on clean air & the correct PPE.

I don’t understand how we can be so far behind with this.

Absolutely (but not only in Peru)

Politicians don’t care about LATER, they only care about NOW. So workers and young people around the world are going to be screwed of health as well as environment. (Long COVID sufferer having a pessimistic, bad mood day.) I’d like to hope for better, but I’m a historian. #HistoryEverRepeats

Yes it does seem to be repeating itself sadly.

If it had been, from the beginning, indoor air would have been cleaned, masks would have been standard, etc. We just keep delaying the inevitable.

elhopkins.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yes it’s holding us back and I think by now if they had been invested in finding solutions we would have all sorts in place and be all so much healthier.
