There was a U of Maryland study that said that N95 duckbill respirators are the best masks and are cost efficient. They even said this should be the standard in healthcare settings.

I only use N95 respirators. They meet my budget!

My IG feed is full of parents asking for prayers for their hospitalized children with illnesses like Strep, Covid & influenza A. I don't want to dismiss prayers if that gives someone hope, but it's no substitute for preventative mitigations for airborne viruses. It didn't have to be this way

Filter replacement day. We don’t often see how dirty the air we breathe is, but moments like this are a clear reminder. Why would anyone want this in their lungs??

We are well into our read of 'Year of the Tiger' in memory of Alice Wong, for our disability & chronic illness reading collective, The #PedanticZebra Book Club.

This is a super quote about holding & unifying the many aspects of ourselves.

💙📚 To join us on Fable: tinyurl.com/3r2ctufh
A woman sits in a wheelchair, holding a yellow book titled "Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life" by Alice Wong. She wears a blue sweater and red lipstick, looking directly at the camera. A large pink quotation mark is in the top left corner. Below the image, on a dark blue background, white text reads: "The many identities you hold and your lived experiences are not in conflict with each other; they make you sharp, whole, and extraordinary." This is followed by "- YEAR OF THE TIGER, ALICE WONG" in pink. The bottom left features the Long COVID Advocacy logo.

🧪We are seeing more and more evidence of the devastation that Cvd plays on the immune system

This increased risk in autoimmune disease is not reassuring

We know autoimmunity predominantly affects women who are often roadblocked in medicine to a dx

Cvd again plays into systemic inequalities

🖇️👇
An infographic from Long Covid Advocacy titled "Latest Research: Long Covid." The headline in pink text reads, "49% RISK INCREASE FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE." Below the headline is a photo of a stethoscope resting next to a small chalkboard that says "autoimmune disease." The main text states: "This meta-analysis of 97 million people found COVID-19 increases the risk of new-onset autoimmune diseases by 49%, particularly vascular and connective tissue conditions. Risk was higher after severe infection and significantly lower in vaccinated individuals." The source is listed as "Chih-Chen Tzang et al, 2025, Clin Rev Allergy Immun." The Long Covid Advocacy logo is at the bottom.

Memes breaking down precautions to take to protect yourself from airborne viruses. Though it says the c virus, these steps apply to airborne viruses overall.

Essentially:

1) wear a N95 or KN95 mask

2) ventilate home - open windows

3) use air purifier w/ HEPA or Merv13 filter

4) wash hands

Are you in search of the Novavax vaccine and are living in Washington, DC?

Check out both CVS and Harris Teeter.

Both places have it here.

I recommend scheduling an appointment and also double checking to see that the vaccines vial says, "Novavax."

I was almost given the wrong vaccine 🥴

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

If you don't already know about the critically important information in this thread, it's time to go cancel some legacy media subscriptions.

Then check how much you're paying public health leaders not to tell you how badly they screwed up (spoiler: too much).

Then go browse canadahealthwatch.ca

From populists on the right, but also from establishment figures desperate to bury their responsibility, there's an ongoing push to bury the harms of COVID.

Long COVID alone costs 7M life-years (QALYs) and on the order of a trillion dollars a year in the OECD.
www.oecd-ilibrary.org/social-issue...
1. While a precise estimate of long COVID prevalence is still emerging, current research suggests that up to 10-30% of people who contracted COVID-19 exhibit symptoms corresponding to long COVID in the weeks and months following acute infection. Across OECD countries at a minimum, this would represent upwards of 39 million people who had or are currently living with long COVID. Sustainable investment in long COVID research is crucial to inform health and social care resource allocation. As the evidence base grows, developing standardised measures of symptoms and functional impact to support a more precise definition that enables the disaggregation of levels of long COVID severity could be useful to better understand the condition, assess its impact, and to tailor care and support. 3. Long COVID can severely limit people’s ability to undertake basic activities of daily life and can dramatically hamper quality of life. More than 7 million quality-adjusted life years may be lost annually across OECD countries due to the condition. Studies from across a range of OECD countries suggest that one sixth to more than one-third of people may have persistent cognitive symptoms, often lasting more than 12 weeks, after a COVID-19 infection. 4. Even conservative estimates of long COVID prevalence would indicate that long COVID may be reducing the workforce by nearly 3 million workers across OECD countries, amounting to an economic cost of at least $141 billion USD from lost wages alone. Moreover, even among those who were able to return to the labour force, a significant proportion reported needing to reduce the number of hours they worked, compared to before their infection. 5. The economic and social welfare costs of long COVID are dramatic: Even excluding the direct costs of health care, long COVID is likely costing OECD countries as much as $864 billion $1.04 trillion USD per year due to reductions in quality of life and labour force participation. The limitations in activities experienced by long COVID patients, including dropping out or reducing their participation in the labour force, as well as direct medical care costs, can have dramatic implications on their financial well-being. Costs to health and social protection systems may also be high over time. 6. Long COVID could further exacerbate inequalities: The COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to longstanding socioeconomic and demographic inequalities in health. Evidence from some countries suggests that certain groups – including populations with lower education attainment, and those living in more deprived areas – may be at risk of developing long COVID, and of experiencing more severe symptoms. 7. Patients have played a critical role in bringing attention and action to long COVID: Throughout the pandemic, countries deprioritized many key aspects of person-centred care in exchange for rapidly implementing policies intended to contain the virus. While the need for rapid action was clear, the lack of patient voice in the process was notable. In contrast, patients and patient groups have been at the forefront of advocating for both a recognition of long COVID as a legitimate condition, in articulating their care and support needs, and in spearheading research into the condition. In many cases, countries have responded by actively working together with patient groups to disseminate information and develop patient-centred support services.
