During my department’s
final meeting of the semester
the department head
encouraged us
to “stay the course,”
and then as we spoke
after the meeting
the department head asked me
“still wearing that mask everyday?”
and before I could stop myself
I replied: “I’m staying the course.”

Hey Vinay Prasad, science belongs to everyone. You’ve bemoaned how the FDA and CDC were not transparent for years, yet here you are intentionally refusing to share evidence.
This data does not belong to you. It belongs to the American people. Release it.

When they reminisce
about the old days
I keep hearing people say
that things they once loved
candy and cereal and snacks
don’t taste as good
as they did back then,
and it could be
that those things have changed,
but I fear it is
that catching Covid repeatedly
has changed them.

Because I fully understand that Covid-19 poses an extreme danger, I will not allow anything to distract me from the urgent necessity of maintaining safety and avoiding infection. As far as I am concerned, safety must always come first in every situation, with no exceptions for any reason.

I have yet to hear anyone make the connection between their frequent illnesses and their failure to wear a mask.

When you hear people say
(and you will hear people say)
that they’ve gotten sick
and now they wish
they had worn a mask,
calmly and kindly tell them
that they missed the chance
to prevent their current infection
but they can still wear a mask
to help prevent their next one.

Some patients do attend A&E with problems that could be dealt with by other healthcare services. However, the article makes clear this cadre represents 2% of patients. If you really want to reduce pressure on A&Es, offer Covid vaccines free for all.

You might have kept your job… but if you didn’t wear a properly fitted respirator for every minute you were in the building while sick…
You might have sparked outbreaks and killed patients.
This is not ok.

Tryptophan
stays in your body
for somewhere between
5 and 10 hours,
so please know
if ever since Thanksgiving
you have been exhausted
you have been oddly exhausted
you have been continuously exhausted
the thing lingering in your body
causing you to feel this way
isn’t tryptophan.

Sometimes, sticking to your principles makes things inconvenient, uncomfortable & can cause others to perceive you as "difficult" or "idealistic." Yes, well, in my case, it means my pacifism and commitment to ahimsa means I won't punch you or infect you with a life-altering virus. So everyone wins.✌️

A modest request:
if you are looking for
something to call
the illness
that so many people
seem to have picked up
over Thanksgiving,
please, I am begging you,
call it something other than
“bird flu,”
for that worrisome name
is already taken.

Day 12 of COVID and she’s still struggling— fatigue, hot showers just to wake up and walking her dog while actively sick. She’s missed shifts at her hospital job and is stressed about money and job security. She knows she’s still unwell but feels pressured to return, asking why she’s not recovering.
