How are you so prepared for COVID?

I buried my lover in 1993 due to HIV AIDS after spending six years helping out with activism, drugs and policy.

So I knew to do a few things in January 2020 to now. 🧵1/6

1. Started wearing masks, because protection from infection is rule one.

2. Started stocking up on food, and medical supplies, because it wouldn't be there (and it wasn't during the early stages)

3. Started informing my friends and family to be safe. 2/6

4. Built a system to keep my neighborhood supported with volunteers, skills and supplies.

5. Started researching alternative meds, supplements.

6. Got vaccinated day 1 I was allowed. 3/6

7. Updated my life insurance.

8. Increased Long Term disability insurance

9. Created a book of emergency documents for my husband. 4/6

10. HEPA filters at home and school (husband is a teacher).

11. Got Paxlovid and travel with it incase of infection

12. Moved to a safer part of the country with less people. 5/6

I'm not going to stop being safe or being radical. The things I'm seeing in the minimizer community and even in the COVID community are alarming.

This is so much more dangerous than HIV ever was. 6/6

QUESTIONS:
How do I get paxlovid:
If you're in the US, plush care or others. Some doctors will RX it to you. Have it ON HAND.

If you're not in the US create buyers clubs.
I am constantly stunned a bunch of queers without internet did more than a lot of the current "movement"

STOP TREATING PEOPLE LIKE DATA.

Stop looking for the numbers, and proof, it won't change a THING.

Make every action as CONCRETE and PHYSICAL as possible.

We will not TREND our way out of this. #CovidIsNotOver

PROTIP:
when dealing with TROLLS.

Do not BLOCK them.

Create a twitter list called TROLLS or mine is CLOWNS and LOSERS.

Add them to the list. They get notified.

Then MUTE THEM.

BONUS: You keep the engagement and never hear from them and they are on a list called CLOWNS!

Watch this and memorize:

1. The passion
2. The leadership
3. The division

MEMORIZE EVER WORD, LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT.

I built a database here: masksafe.pory.app

So people can crowdsource they hospitals/ doctors and their masking policy.

More importantly, I built a form letter here: masksafe.pory.app/help

I want to add a CHATGPT integration to just create the letters for people .

I love you Tommy Slonim, you did not die and I will fight for us and our love every day for the rest of my life.

Super inspired by all the positive feedback.

Let's let CHATGPT help us.

I created an automation that will WRITE a letter to your local health care facility here: masksafe.pory.app/help

It's amazing and all you have to do is CARE and hit SEND!

#CovidIsNotOver #maskup

Look at all these beautiful letters being created demanding facilities BRING back mask mandates!

Using AI combined with our experiences we can create a powerful message to health care.

I added, Spanish, German, French to the program so when you have AI draft your letter to your healthcare provider it can now do it in these languages as well as adding your story, and information.
