As the weather gets colder, it's easier for respiratory viruses like influenza (flu), COVID-19, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) to spread.
Fortunately, there are simple actions we can take to protect our health—and the health of our families and communities. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4nz2hjR

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children
Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health

The media have been complicit with the government in covering up the threat of the ongoing Covid pandemic and the risks to the public.
If they’re recommending N95s, we should pay attention.
They don’t suggest masks lightly.

I appreciate WHO raising awareness about Long Covid. I, however, considered, and still consider, a great mistake to have declared the end of Covid "as a global emergency" two years ago. This contributed to minimize the ongoing risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including death and Long Covid

You haven’t “learned to live with COVID” if you don’t understand that wearing a mask in public means not only protecting yourself, but ALSO immunocompromised / disabled / chronically ill people
COVID also disproportionately affects marginalized groups including people of low / no income & BIPOC ppl
