Say you go to a party with your friends. No one masks.

You go about your life for the next few days. Maskless, of course.

You wake up 5 days later with a sore throat. You test positive. You bounce back in a week.

That’s your experience…but it goes far beyond you. 🧵1/10 The day before you felt ill, you dined indoors with a friend. Then you went to the grocery store. Then you met up for drinks at a bar in the evening.

In the time that you did that, you infected at least one person. They recover fairly quickly…but that’s not all (2/10)

🧵I’m no expert but I have a really hard time believing that a more virulent variant just sprung up out of nowhere in China.

They only removed their Zero COVID approach in the last 4 weeks. The U.S. and Europe haven’t had any significant mitigation in place in nearly 10 months. The U.S. has been a Petri dish since 2020. Yet we aren’t investing any significant resources in the infrastructure needed to sequence and track new variants that could arise domestically.

As we’ve seen, countries that do (like S.A.) are essentially punished for it.

I see the people on here who wax self-righteously on voting Democrat to protect our most vulnerable.

I also see those same people abandoning any and all COVID precautions.

Know that I-along with every immunocompromised individual-sees your hypocrisy and judges you for it. There’s literally no intelligent or scientific case to be made against doing something as simple as wearing a mask (which is probably why these kind of tweets never get a rebuttal).

…what lol Image “Before I vote to starve the children of the Global South through hybrid warfare, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the ancestral lands that these sacred voting machines stand on…”

TO THOSE WHO STILL WANT TO AVOID COVID:

We’re in a one-way masking world now. Therefore, it’s time to upgrade your respirators. Cloth and surgical masks (and even some KN95s and N95) simply won’t suffice.

Here’s a 🧵 on some of the best masks you can get: The 3M Aura 9205+ is my personal favorite. It’s comfortable, breathable, and boasts a filtration efficiency of over 99% according to some tests. I wear one for almost 12 hours at a time with no issues. You can easily find them at your local Home Depot:
