🚨A must-read short 🧵 by @linnj.bsky.social on Twitter:

"I think one of the biggest failures in the early pandemic response was the messaging around shielding the vulnerable..." 🚨
threadreaderapp.com/thread/19334...
I think one of the biggest failures in the early pandemic response was the messaging around shielding the vulnerable. 🧵 1/6 It created a culture of us and them. Where some people became defined as weak. As less worthy. As different. And everyone desperately wanted anything but to be identified as them. Desperately wanted to avoid the marginalisation. 2/6 Taking steps to reduce one’s risk of infection therefore became equivalent to self-identifying as them. 3/6 Initially, I believe this deeply rooted fear was part of the reason for the micro aggressions, bullying and harassment seen against those taking precautions. 4/7 To shun them; to marginalise them further helped increase the metaphorical gap between themselves and the weak. Distanced them from the identity they so desperately needed to avoid. 5/7 So even if FFP2/3 masks correctly would have been communicated to protect against transmission, they became synonymous with an identity people couldn’t fathom adopting. 6/7 Communication lies at the core of public health. This is the impact of poorly thought-through communication. PH communication goes beyond the need to be accurate, timely, and transparent. It also must consider the wider cultural changes it generates. 7/7

Looking for a new therapist and want to be sure they'll be a good fit for you? Try some of these questions to get a feel if you and the therapist are on the same page
An image with a tan background and five different colored rectangles filled with text. The heading reads "questions to ask a potential therapist, COVID conscious edition, here are some questions to see if a new therapist will be a good fit and respect your need for COVID safety." Next to the text is a blue and green image of a woman sitting in a chair talking to another woman via telehealth. The first yellow box reads "what is your experience working with COVID conscious clients?" the next green box reads "what does COVID safety mean to you?" the next pink box reads "why did you list yourself on the COVID conscious therapist directory?" the next orange box reads "how do you handle it when you and a client disagree on something?" and the last blue box reads "how do you usually work with clients like me?" oliviabelknaptherapy.com
