My sister is coughing up blood. Her kids have been sick constantly. They are scared to go to school b/c they are teased for wearing masks. My disabled daughter has had #SARSCoV2 twice caught at work, then at .@YorkUniversity b/c no one masks.
Tell me again things are FINE. 1/x
Tell me again to "get over it". Tell me again that this is "normal". My stepfather has been in hospital for nearly a month and half after a #SARSCoV2 infection. That's because northern #Alberta decided #COVID19 wasn't a thing anymore.

I encounter people every day who hack, cough, have trouble speaking at length, are winded from speaking, have trouble recalling basic things, who have changed in fundamental ways. But please tell me to "move on" and that I "over-reacting".
