Even Mina's "getting colds in inevitable" is weak.

My #DavosSafe lifestyle (a combination of my ability to question authority and my fortunate circumstances) means I haven't even had a COLD in over three years.

As long as I can control my life, I may never have a cold again.
Unfortunately, because the masses are delighted to go around spreading a #kovid plague that's destroying themselves, I have to wear top quality biohazard level three PPE when I leave my apartment, even in the hallways and common areas of my building.
And I only leave my apartment when it absolutely cannot be avoided.

I was lucky to get a lot of very necessary dental surgery done in 2018-2019.

I'm finally at a point in my life where I can pay for any dental care I need by swiping my debit card. But now I have to avoid...
the dentist.

At least I make a decent living working from home and I don't live with other humans. Most people lack that privilege.

Fuck you, plague rats.

Hey COVID cautious folks.

It's getting really trauma-inducing to be someone in apparent good physical health fighting hard to make sure I'm never infected...

Meanwhile you're constantly implying that avoiding COVID is just for the "vulnerable"...
1. *EVERYONE* is harmed by COVID!

2. COVID causes brain damage in *everyone*, even people who were in apparent perfect health before infection.

3. Same goes for immune damage, cancer, strokes, etc...
Every time you imply that COVID avoidance is just for the *vulnerable*, you put me in a position where I have to fight even harder to justify my respirator, staying home, etc.

Also you're inadvertently empowering eugenicists and ableists...

This is an example of important activism that must be done. I called.

The other important action is to be ready to sue hospitals and medical facilities. Here's how to do that, please RT for visibility... 🧵

My partner is scheduled to have knee surgery in a private clinic in Toronto in May.

I am preparing for the likelihood that he will get infected with COVID. Frankly if I was him, I'd skip the surgery.

But he's having the surgery, so I'm planning to sue...
To have a chance at successfully suing a hospital or clinic, you'll need the following:

1. Verifiable COVID tests before and after the hospital/clinic stay.

2. Scientific research that proves that the hospital's policies are negligent...

I was feeling pretty hopeless. Then I decided to get more active with @TheWHN.

The raging SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is destroying humanity. But I want to be one of the humans who fights to stop it... #COVIDisAirborne
A few years from now when people realize how wrong they were to let the oligarchs inflict them with a level three biohazard for the sake of billionaire profit...

Don't you want to be on the right side of history? In time, most people realized that climate change is a disaster...
That cigarettes are unhealthy, that HIV should be prevented with condoms and testing blood and organ donations...

Eventually most people will wake up to the fact that they should have been wearing high quality respirators in public spaces and cleaning the air...

I have unfollowed most of the people I used to follow in #infosec and pretty much all of the musicians I used to follow, from Hall and Oates to Jamiroquai to Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Every world tour and every maskless convention selfie is a betrayal... #CovidIsNotOver 🧵
I'm finally in a point in my life where I can afford overpriced concert tickets and some travel if it's something that's really a priority to me.

But fuck no. The musicians I genuinely used to love now will never see a dime out of me ever again...
I BitTorrent their music, because even Spotify and YouTube plays would give them a fraction of a cent each time.

My favourite musicians (musically, at least) aren't even starving artists. Have you seen Jay Kay's car collection?!

CO2 monitoring, ventilation, and HEPA/CR boxes are absolutely necessary.

But a low CO2 rating doesn't make going maskless in a public space safe.

STFU with your "risk assessments." Just wear a respirator in all public spaces. (Outdoor crowds, too.)
#CovidIsNotOver Hero in Disney cartoon, sitting smugly with dozens of swords
That's like saying airbags, seatbelts, insurance, and traffic lights make drunk driving safe.

NO, THEY DO NOT!
A room with 400ppm of CO2 has little of other people's breath in the air. But it still has some of other people's breath in the air!

Hazel McCallion is dead. I grew up in Mississauga, roughly between 1986-2000. My late father was on the library board and he was the first recipient of the Mississauga Arts Award in writing.

I met her once.

I have thoughts... 🧵
I don't have to look this up. No one in North America has been mayor of a city for longer than Hazel McCallion. Her stint as mayor of Mississauga was at least 25-30 years long.

But she wasn't a great mayor, just a mayor in a very lucky situation...
Her mayoralty started in the late 1970s, she was previously the mayor of Streetsville until all those west of Toronto towns were amalgamated as Mississauga.

During her first term as mayor of Mississauga, the legendary train disaster of 1979 occurred...
