The LATIMES running a story on how symptoms with the latest are...

“throat feels like RAZOR BLADES”

“I have so much phlegm, but it hurts so bad to cough because my throat is on literal FIRE!!” (4th time)

“uncontrollable body-shaking chills

“intense with fevers, cough, head pressure and pain. It’s attacking my throat and ability to swallow.”

“I’ve had C0VID a few times but this is the worst I’ve had it,”

“terrible sinus pressure and headache ... and I

can’t stand up for too long without feeling like I’m about to pass out.”

“Previously C0VID just felt like the common cold, but this strain is [wreaking] havoc,” the person wrote. “I don’t like to complain like this, but I’m shocked at how much it’s taking me out.”
“intense with fevers, cough, head pressure and pain. It’s attacking my throat and ability to swallow.”

Thank you @ronlin for taking the time to lay out that drumbeat. Truly, thank you!

And thank you, @PCH_SF, for pointing out "Each time you get COVID, he said, is
“kind of like playing COVID roulette.”

Thank you both, very much!

Seeing someone lay out that Covid can be "up to the point of going into the hospital" miserable? So helpful from a public health perspective.

(The CDC should be doing that messaging.)

/continued
I do have to ask a favor in the future? Since asymptomatic transmission makes up 58% of transmission, and respirators/N95s work better than masks?

And mentioning masks at the very end of the article will not reach as many people?

Can you mention respirators at the very top?

If you are completely on board with respirators for the public?

You can ignore the rest of this thread - and thank you again.

If not, please read on.
The single most efficacious way to avoid Covid is to wear a respirator.

Whether a doctor or a member of the public. I wrote this thread for a Murdoch/Koch think-tank that is trying to ban all masks - it should convince you.

If not, I have more

studies, and my DMs are open. I can easily make the case for masking.

I am a true NoVid - part of a community that has figured out how to stay uninfected. Even if C0Vid comes home with a family member. Staying uninfected in the home would seem to be

be impossible. It's not. Just need to take airborne infection protocols and twist them to be practical, cheap, easy - and universal.

And those protocols start with respirators.

Thank you again!

This study is HUGE FOR YOU!

Why? Every hospital, dental, and nursing home corporation around the world use studies designed by the Mark Loeb Group to keep N95s off of your HCW.

As they bend over you in a mask so baggy you can see their toothy smile.

Let me ask you...

/1
Would pulling on an N95 protect you more from airborne anthrax than if you pulled on a medical mask (MM)? From only 3 feet away?

In fact, IT IS AGAINST the proper use of respirators.

OSHA would have you KICKED off the job site.

But when Loeb did it in 2022? The $$$ 🎉🎉🎉
But - once this preprint is published? I do not see how Loeb (2022) is not RETRACTED.🔥🔥🔥

That study compared surgical masks to N95s. It said that surgical (medical) masks are as good as N95s in protection from Covid.

That they are not inferior, aka noninferior, to N95s.

People are freaking out. Not hard enough. Not NEARLY hard enough.

H5N1 has just been found to be able to attach to a2,6-linked sialic acids found on cells in the Upper Respiratory Tract.

Let me put it in a way that will drive this home for you.

On July 4th, China had a huge drill for a mystery disease, part of which involved disinfection of a live poultry transfer station.

Poultry. Get it?

"Cow-H5N1" is not just isolated to cows.

Colorado? The most recent human infection? The same.

Alpacas, goats, racoons, skunks, cats, ETC. The list that this H5N1 infects is very long.

#USDABioSecurity as of July 8, 2024.

❌ Two human cases have had respiratory samples test positive.
❌ Cow lung tissues have tested positive.
❌ Closed herds in Texas and Michigan have been infected.
❌ Infected herds have been milked last - and the rest of the farm infected.
❌Milk aerosols have been found infectious.
❌ The Colorado human had no symptoms except pink eye.
❌ CDC is only doing symptom based testing, despite having 750,000 tests available.

And the USDA is obsessed with fomites and "biosecurity".

@MatthewJDalby keeps popping up on my feed. Not because I follow them. Why? The engagement algorithm must have them as an antimasker. So, I dove deep.

Matthew Dalby is an emotional "snake in the grass" antimasker.

Let me cut away the grass.

🧵
Matthew Dalby likes to attack the actual act of mask advocacy.

If you make people think their advocacy is not effective? They won't advocate. Which means people won't mask.

And it is framed as "arguably" "I think" - just asking questions here!, folks.

Here Dalby is attacking advocacy for masking in the context of LongCovid.

Universal mask wearing to reduce LongCovid is NEVER going to happen. It's just not possible.

(So just don't advocate for it.)

But they are not an antimasker.
(Because they said so.)

This is not directed at Dr. Beckman. No way would I dare to teach her something

This is for you, the casual passer-by. You think, "That study was from 2022. Did someone cite it?

🧵 On how to do a little research.
Paste the URL into the search field.

Beep boop bop. Click on the cited by.

Click on Year, then since 2024. Puts all the newest stuff at top.

This 👇is analyzing the 4 Christo-fascist promises of Trump Project 2025.

My mind is blown...this affects everyone alive as we could all get LongCovid and become homeless.

It affects YOU.

It couples the "good (Christian) life" with private religious charities.

/1
Image
Some examples.

Mixing religion and state is just not a good idea. It is literally enshrined in the First Amendment.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

Anyway, Project 2025 is being set up by SCOTUS. Image
The biggest one is the Grants Pass, Oregon homeless verdict.

Criminalizing sleeping in public.

The author linked that to religious beds going empty.

Strange - I, like you, heard about the $239/ night fine. The 30 days jail.

But religious shelter? Could that be true? Image
