This platform was always such a space space with likeminded people truly here to fight together against this plan of mass infection.
Lately I’m seeing so much shaming amongst the Covid cautious community and honestly it’s not right.
I do have a few thoughts
Number 1, not every parent has the privilege, support or capacity to homeschool their kids. In a perfect non dystopian world, masks would be mandated and air would be cleaned. If their kids have to attend and are doing their dam well best to be the lone masker in a sea
of denial and sick children, then we have to make sure they know how fkn strong and amazing they are. Not shame them or their parents if they get sick.
Number 2, those who truly understand how this virus transmits know that n95 respirators are superior to baggy blues.

Christmas was and has always been isolating for so many seniors. Especially those living alone or those who never got any visitors during the holidays living in long term care.
Reminds me of a memory of mine working in LTC.
It was 2017. I was preparing for our annual
Christmas party on my assisted living floor.
I remember decorating the tables and waiting for the family members to arrive and join their loved ones for lunch.
As I went through the list, I noticed one of the residents was missing.
I headed to their room and found her sitting by the window, tears rolling down her face.
I sat down next to her and asked her if I could help her in any way. She turned to me and said “every year I’m alone. I don’t want to see everyone happy”

COVID, Alzheimers and your brain🧠
a 🧵
Most recently there has been a lot more studies linking COVID to brain damage and more specifically to potentially leading to Dementia.

Alzheimer's disease right now remains the most common diagnosis of Dementia.
Estimates are that about 5.8 million people in the US have Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. 5.6 million are aged 65 and older and approx 200,000 under age 65 with early onset Alzheimer's.
Health & support for the individuals diagnosed is already hard to come by, and as numbers rise, I often wonder how as a society we will be prepared to confront this wave of massive cognitive impairment that is coming.

It was 2015
I was doing a conference for the staff in the long term facility on how to better work and care for those suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
The pagers of staff kept going off.
I didn’t pay much attention to it and kept going on my presentation
After 25 mins of this I asked staff if there was an issue with a resident.
One nursing student said yes, there was a resident in distress and no one was able to calm her down.
I called for a break and headed to her floor.
When I got there, the resident was
walking the hallways frantically searching. I walked up to her, rubbed her arm and asked if I could help her. She looked at me and said “yes, I was shopping with my mom and she left me here. I can’t find her”. The pain and fear in her eyes was so intense as she searched

Lots of feelings running though my mind the last few days. I know I’m not alone in this, and I know that sometimes sharing them will help others feel like they are supported too. So here it is
Quick 🧵
*Anger : I feel angry at the fact that we have been continuously let down by our leaders. That they continue to take away our protections, deny airborne transmission, that no one is talking about Long COVID or how millions are suffering daily. They continue to
gaslight, they continue to leave populations behind in order to have a “normal life”. We are not safe until we are ALL safe. This also includes our children who have been sacrificed at the cost of the economy. We will sorely regret not protecting our kids.

It was 2015
I was getting ready to head home for the weekend when I remembered I left a folder on my assistant living floor.

I headed up there and when the elevators opened I heard loud crying.
I looked over to one of my residents who was sitting on his walker
He was sobbing. I had actually never seen him cry before.
I went up to him, kneeled down, held his hand and asked him if I could help him.
He told me that his brother had just drown in the family pool and that he wasn’t fast enough to save him.
Right away I remembered that story. His daughter had told us when she placed her dad. She had said that his brother had drown at the age of 7. Her dad was 12 at the time. This event changed his life and he never was able to recover from his grief and the trauma.
