New cases piling up every damn day

Yep, saw a neighbour this evening. Coughing up half a lung, she 'can't shift the phlegm' for the last two days. She'd just been to the shop completely unmasked!!! Everyone getting everyone else ill repeatedly, totally normal. 😬🤐🤨

Let’s stick to the facts, and not attribute covid to every instance without evidence. There’s enough real evidence to keep us facts based:

I know she's had covid before. Covid damages immunity, fact! It makes you more susceptible to other infections after you've had it. So, they are facts. Don't come at me with not everything is covid's, when I didn't even mention covid. I was talking about the FACT that people are prepared to infect..

kegel7.bsky.social•46 days ago

And more to the point, it's not just about immediate deaths. We know cumulative covid infections increase the risk of long covid, 40% by infection 3. So, we're basically damaging populations by allowing unmitigated transmission and no testing.

You don't even need to want to "honor" us - it's more on the level of "stop showing openly ableist contempt by denying our existence."
THAT'S how low this bar is.

And stop talking about those who’ve “still” got long covid, as if everyone got it early on. More are developing it every day & will be for ever more, unless we actually finally do something to stop the spread of covid.

And let’s not forget the thousands of people who die of a covid infection every month. (And this is only the reported number in a world which no longer reports.)

Every time someone uses the phrase "during the pandemic" around me, I immediately correct them with "earlier in the pandemic." I won't tolerate that government "pandemic is over" propaganda being parroted around me.

When I read "Yes, we conquered COVID..." I could not believe my eyes. In this allegedly excellent article about Public Health, no less. 🤯

Yeah I had hopes for that article because of the author's point about the privatization of the pandemic but then... 😩
