The fact that Covid is dangerous is at odds with how most people live. So they pretend it’s not, because it’s too hard to do anything about. It would be more convenient for it to not be true. But it is true. So what can the average person do to mitigate in a realistic way? 1/
A lot of people seem to think that Covid mitigations are all or nothing. The thinking seems to be if you can’t mask all the time, you’re simply not a person who masks at all and there’s no point in doing it ever. You either mask or you don’t. 2/

Humans are social creatures above all else and I’ve been noticing that there’s a tipping point when it comes to mask mirroring. I want to share a surprisingly positive and hopeful experience that I had a few months ago 😷🧵1/
I took an acting class in the spring, and, just like in almost all spaces, l was the only one who masked. It was awkward and uncomfortable but I've gotten to the point where I no longer feel weird or like I have to explain myself, because I know I'm doing the right thing. 2/

I’ve started collecting articles and studies about covid whenever I’ve come across them. It helps to have something easily accessible to share with people when they want to call my bluff (or, more positively, when they genuinely want to learn). Here they are for your convenience:

With Covid surging at record levels all over at the moment and so many people I know testing positive, I would love it levelheaded and reasonable people took a moment in good faith to reflect on the fact that this is not the pandemic we were promised. 🧵
Think about where you were in spring 2021.
The vaccines were just coming out and we finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel.
What did you think about the future then? Did you think you would go on to get Covid multiple times a year?

A lot of people are asking why anyone would bother testing for Covid in 2024, when it’s the same as any illness, where you should just stay home if you feel sick. Here are some reasons why it’s still a good idea to test for Covid 🧵 /11. You could test if you know you’ve been exposed, because you can get covid even if you never develop symptoms. If you test positive even if you don’t feel sick, you can prevent spreading it to countless others. 2/
