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

I'm all ready for today's @DoNoHarmBC protest at 12noon outside Minister Dix's office at 5022 Joyce St. in Vancouver!

Here are 3 BC'ers I'm fighting for 🧵
1. My father who ended up in LTC because a Covid infection accelerated his dementia overnight. He likely got sick because he couldn't mask well in public due to cognitive issues
2. My friend with stage 4 breast cancer who went to the hospital this week and was really upset to be told masks were optional

Whoa, has anyone seen this @LifeLabs long list of blood work you should consider for #LongCovid symptoms? Would be nice if public health informed us
Lifelabs graphic that is a printout patients can bring to the doctor for blood work.
Long list of recommended blood work for Long Covid that includes blood counts, renal function, basic metabolic tests, liver function, inflammatory markers, thyroid function, vitamin deficiencies
.@LifeLabs considering folks can *acquire* Long Covid by visiting your unsafe labs, don't you think you should mandate high-quality masks?
Note these aren't bio markers, just general organ and health tests to assess damage and symptoms

Many Covid activists have been cast as "extreme" by family & friends for asking for more protections, but our leaders are actually the extreme ones for insisting we simulate 2019 without any concessions for the vulnerable.
Can't do mask mandates? Why not at the very least safe masked shopping hours? Classrooms with masks for those who need them? Transit runs with masks? CR boxes, UV & HEPA filters. Anything.
Indoor smoking bans came to restaurants & cafés in Vancouver only after being rolled out slowly in public spaces a decade earlier, in 1986. Some smokers were furious, but had to cope. We need to start somewhere.

This week in homeschooling my 11yo we had to do a project on bias in the media. So we chose @nytimes' coverage of the remote work debate.

We looked at how powerful senior executives & business leaders are platformed & why we rarely hear from workers themselves Two headlines from the NYT opinion recently on the remote wo
This isn't unique to the NYT. There's a deliberate movement to brand in-office work as crucial for one's social life and productivity.
Powerful media platforms have been really creative. One thing they seem to all have in common is the inability to mention the word "Covid-19" World Economic Forum - commuting to work has psychological b

Seriously though, I'm getting really tired of these takes from powerful, rich white men.
The author, who is affiliated with Bloomberg, claims that remote work is a privilege. But it's actually a lifeline for folks with disabilities, health conditions or caregiving responsibilities
