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.

Seconding, with a strong desire to see N95s purchasable at EVERY SINGLE location you can buy food and/or meds, including convenience stores, and to see baggy blues phased out entirely from the mainstream. Maybe keep them JUST IN CASE someone's truly panicking in an N95.
Stock photo purveyors of the world: Please update the medical masks in your photos to N95s. It’s been 5+ years and baggy blue surgicals are *so* 2020. #COVID is airborne so you don’t want your mask to have gaps.

There will be work requirements for Medicaid starting in 2027. So many people with Long Covid who are not able to get diagnosed because doctors don’t read, will have a hard time being eligible. The government is trying to kill the most vulnerable.
