I have a positive healthcare story to share! Like dreamy good experience (as much as you could ask for in these times). Sharing to give others hope. I had to have an endoscopy a few days back and was of course...
feeling very hopeless about SARS-CoV-2 risk. An endoscopy means no mask 😷, so I was losing sleep over it, worried I'd get another hospital-acquired infection
Before the procedure I used this template from @Protect_BC

Who is still doing public health? @YaleSPH is. Graphic showing two illustrated people, one lying in a hospital bed and a HCW. Caption: the more Covid-19 vaccine doses you get, the lower the risk of Long Covid. The more reinfections you have, the higher the risk
Going to post this whole series, because it's awesome and in part informed by the work of @VirusesImmunity What we know and don't know about Covid-19's effect on the immune system
@VirusesImmunity Lasting impact: illustrated girl coughing with caption - Growing research shows infection with SARS-CoV-2 can create lasting differences in some people's immune systems.

5 years of a pandemic is hard on mental health & so is C*vid itself, so as a refresher, here's 5 things not to say to someone struggling & why

🧵
1. "It can't be that bad"

In the person's mind who is struggling, their pain is that bad. Don't diminish it
2. "Just think positive"

Another variation is "get a better mindset." This is like telling someone with heart disease to get an unclogged artery. If it were this easy, they would do it!

Covid is a disability justice & workplace equity issue. It seems absurd to have to keep saying this out loud, but no one should have to choose between their lives & longterm health & a paycheck
How employers can help:

1. Clean the air. Employees should have real time access to air quality readings so they can make their own risk assessments

hbr.org/2023/11/its-ti…
2. Mandate high-quality respirators in indoor spaces for meetings etc.

This will ensure that the most medically vulnerable people in the room are protected & able to attend

I've had an abnormal # of trolls this week & I've realized they all follow the same generic archetypes, so I thought I'd categorize them for future historians

🤡🧵
#1 The face diaper/masks are sieves troll Tweet from paid user @MatthewSHarriso saying "I never wore a face diaper-never" and linking to an epoch times article
#2 The climate change troll

These do still exist in 2024 Tweet from @QualityTime77 with a graphic on how climate change is a made up hoax

People have told me Covid is only a big deal to my 'Twitter echo chamber.' As someone who has checked out allllll the other platforms lol, I can assure you it's not.

#LongCovid is everywhere. It's on every platform. In every workplace. Every city.
If you don't hear the chatter, it's because you're not listening
Here's a sample this week from LinkedIn - even LinkedIn is starting to pick up on the awfulness of LongCovid

Screenshot from LinkedIn - a woman whose 40yo husband died this week of Covid
Screenshots from LinkedIn where accounts discuss the seriousness of Long Covid
Screenshot from LinkedIn from Long Covid sufferer who lost his job
