Covid safe lesbian mad at the world for leaving disabled people behind.

I guess the fear of war has been on every Estonian’s mind since Ukraine got invaded but the recent instability from the US has definitely increased that fear for me

One day the fear of war coming to you cripples you and another day you’re totally fine. I don’t understand my mental health…

The variability that comes with chronic illness is really sucking today: yesterday I shoveled snow for an hour and was fine but today I do it for half an hour and I feel like passing out? Plain rude

“People who had gotten COVID-19 at least twice experienced higher rates of short and long-term health effects, including heart & brain issues, compared to those only infected once.”

Rather than “building immunity”, repeat Covid infections are slowly killing us.

“The number of people classed as economically inactive - not employed or actively looking for work - has jumped to more than 9 million. It surged during Covid but remains persistently high”

That’s what happens when you mass infect a population with SARS.

We can all agree that eugenics is believing that a certain group of people deserves to die right?
What do you call it when people refuse to wear masks to keep disabled people safe from a pandemic? Normalcy?

Eugenics has become normalised and it’s disgusting

The number of replies saying they don't mask because they are vaccinated is a testament to public health failures.

My people, vaccines reduce your risk of death and severe Covid. They do not make you immune to infection.

Wear. A. Mask.
So. Bluesky.

Why don't y'all mask up in public anymore?

“They wouldn’t let Covid spread if it was THAT bad”

🙄

It took authorities 5 YEARS to be honest about HIV and only because they couldn’t hide it anymore.

See tobacco, asbestos, lead...

Governments don’t give a shit about YOU.

They only care about money & power.

Read the studies FFS.

Feeling incredibly lucky that as a covid-riskgroup person I can work from home, not everyone has that luxury and have to risk their health just to get paid. Mask mandates would protect people but nobody wants to even think about them

One good thing about #Estonia is that even though you will be the only one wearing a mask in the grocery store, at least nobody is going to come up and comment on it. Oh there will be stares. But no heckling at least

Covid isn’t over. It will continue to rise until January and then take until May to get as low as it does in the last year.

I have been wearing a mask/respirator in all public indoor spaces since 2020. This is the second time in almost 5 years that I have gotten sick. Compare this to the 3 Covid infections ppl are getting every year these days, risking #LongCovid every time. Masks work. Wear them

Please don't let the growing potential of a bird flu pandemic distract you from the fact that we are still in the covid pandemic.

And repeat covid infections increase your risk of long term health problems. Serious ones.

Why do people not realise how easy it is to become disabled? A single Covid infection has a minimum of 1 in 10 chance to give you long Covid and those chances go up with every repeat infection. And still barely anyone masks. Do yall want to become disabled or something?
