Fan of calendars, clean air, and kindness. #StillMasking with N95s helps keep my #PlusLife negative, which helps keep my attitude positive!

If there's a heaven, it's a place where everybody cares about everybody else.
If there's a hell, it's a place where nobody cares about anybody else.
And here on Earth, you get to choose which of those is how you live.
Before you find out for sure where you live after you live.

If there's a heaven, it's a place where everybody masks when they are respiratory illnesses around, so nobody has to get them
If there's a hell, it's a place where nobody masks even when they are obviously deeply sick with something you don't want to get
Empathy is greater than selfishness

This is such a vital point - #COVIDisAirborne no matter how hard people in power work to get everybody to ignore that fact
Firstly, there is no mention of how public health officials ignored, denied and aggressively obstructed meaningful discussion and dissemination of the fact that COVID is predominantly spread by the airborne route.

The problem though is that our recent experience with Covid19 suggests that increased pain and suffering appears to convert more voters to reactionary right wing voters, and even appears to activate non-voters to join the reactionary populist neofascist movement. 2/🧵

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame
An analysis by NPR shows that since the vaccine rollout, counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump have had more than twice the COVID mortality rates of those that voted for Joe Biden.

In the past five years, I have seen way more new cases of inflammatory skin and joint disease than in my previous 23 years of practice.
By a factor of at least 3-5.
>3X the total new cases in 5 years than in all my 23 previous years.
That’s >14x the annual incidence than I remember before.

People would go wild if MS or lupus were airborne, but Covid is airborne, and it can reactivate EBV, which is linked to both. It’s biologically plausible that we’re seeing more MS- and lupus-related illness after widespread airborne viruses. So mask up 😷

4/ Consider a CR Box. It is highly effective at removing respiratory aerosol particles across a wide range of particle sizes that convey viruses, and the additional mixing added to rooms can cause rapid dispersion of respiratory plumes when in close contact with those infected.

3/ Public empowerment is important, folks. Reducing the amount of respiratory aerosol particles you inhale in shared spaces will dramatically reduce your risk of infection. Increase ventilation when possible, wear an N95, KN95 or better mask/respirator in shared public spaces, improve filtration.

His tariffs, his war on brown people, his failure to keep any promise he made during the campaign, his destruction of the people's house, the lying liars who run his departments, etc. Trump has created chaos.
