If you’re 🇺🇸 & living w/#longcovid you are protected by the Americans w/Disabilities Act of 1990. You’re guaranteed accommodations under federal civil rights law.

Which accommodations—that you’re *guaranteed* by the 🇺🇸 government—have you actually received?

Accommodations in:

In 5 - 10 years it will become very clear to *everyone* that our entire history-changing *mass-disabling event” was due to the fact that a group of people in power/with influence simply could not

1) admit they were wrong

and

2) change their minds.

Human ego ➡️ the #1 problem on this planet.

The Buddha said that ⬆️ not me. A little humility from “experts” who made mistakes early on would be super helpful right now to the entire human population. But instead, they cling to their erroneous ideas 💯 because they think it’s better to be “right” than to be actually “correct.” And it is destroying the lives of millions of people.

“The survivors are doing it themselves.”

Clearing dead bodies #MauiFires.

🧵: my friend Angie’s harrowing experience helping fire survivors.

Hey @fema Maui needs help NOW.

Hey @USPacificFleet command: you’re the freaking US Navy & not that far from Maui. A little help?

I am going to present a question that requires you to keep more than one concept in your head at a time.

I am explaining what I am doing bc this is The Bird & human critical thinking Ain’t What It Used To Be.

Here is some data: As of March 2023 per NBC News:

So I just found out that it is illegal in most US states for parents to disinherit their disabled children.

Which is interesting because my parent disinherited me last year basically BECAUSE I’m disabled and she “didn’t believe it.”

Which also means: The flying monkeys/enablers who took part in deliberately destroying my life a year ago at the behest of my parent who wanted my life destroyed because she didn’t believe I was disabled—& therefore are expecting $$$ from my parent’s will as compensation for destroying my life…

Yet the FAA looks at pilots, ground crews, & air traffic controllers in 🇺🇸 that repeatedly make dangerous errors/cause scary near-misses at major US airports and says:

“It’s mental rust.”

My intuition has helped me on several important occasions.

1. Before my Dad died.

2. When “the novel coronavirus” hit Wuhan in late 2019.

3. In 2022 when I could “tell” a group of people were hiding something very important from me. And they were. scientificamerican.com/article/intuit… I knew my Dad was dead 2 hours before I was told officially. He was on the different continent.

I sent N95s to everyone I knew in early/mid January 2020.

I left the state of Mass. last year as a group of “friends” & “family” were planning to take even more of my possessions.

I have a weird intuitive nudgieness ongoing about Nipah. And Hendra, which isn’t on this list.

Great list. Excellent 🧵 💯

FYI: Hendra

“Long covid numbers are relatively low compared to the total number of people who have been infected.”

Really?

Half of all people on twitter w/long covid never received a diagnosis.

No diagnosis = not in the official statistics. Millions of people are having health problems post-covid but are being told by media/MDs that long covid is rare.

So they don’t think they have long covid.

Or they don’t “believe” they have long covid.

Or they “hope” they don’t have long covid/are ignoring the possibility.

Person on twitter:
I’d rather get long covid than wear a mask.

Person w/cognitive issues post-covid: My doctor said it’s not Alzheimer’s so I’m fine.

Person w/25 new health problems post-covid: Long covid isn’t real plus I was vaccinated.

WHO: there is no emergency. CDC: Covid is over so we’re not collecting data anymore.

POTUS: Covid is over. You can tell because no one is masking.

Doctors: If you’re concerned about a highly transmissible disease that can destroy your entire life you’re clinically insane.

Imagine what it’s like for people who have spent 3+ years desperately sick, disabled, and alone with long covid.

Some of us were not only abandoned by family, friends, and society, but we were victims of financial and property crimes. No one cares. Not law enforcement, not elected officials, no one. People with LC have zero civil rights despite being protected (on paper) by the #ADA.

@1goodtern Covid-induced executive function impairment. I will scream that into the covid-addled void until the day I die. I worked in special ed (3 years) and with 7th graders (for an eternity). I have an M.Ed. I know executive function impairment when I fucking see it. It is EVERYWHERE. @1goodtern news-medical.net/amp/news/20230…

“Inadequate human, financial and material resources.”

In other words, humanity’s screwed up system of values (wealth for the elite few = more important than the community) will likely—according to the government of Tanzania—result in the Marburg outbreak getting out of hand.

And just to be clear: there are no vaccines or treatments for Marburg.

According to Webster’s Dictionary, “abuse” is defined as “improper treatment.”

Since an individual associated w/@CDCgov is calling other scientists “abusive” bc he’s feeling pouty on Twitter, here is a @1goodtern-inspired thread:

5 Ways the CDC is “Abusive.” 1. They denied covid tests to sick Americans who “hadn’t been to China” in the first few months of 2020. Including me. Which has = fuel/“evidence” for denialist HCWs who “don’t believe long covid exists.”

If someone disagrees w/you about science, but others agree w/that person, that person is NOT “abusive.”

And no. You aren’t an f-ing hero for using the word “abusive” in your attempt to paint yourself as a hero.

You’re a worm w/ZERO CONCEPT of the reality of “abuse.”

#CPTSD The biggest issue with solving covid & long covid is certain select self-described “professionals” with fragile egos who make everything ten times more complex bc they can’t play nice with the other kids. We are doing this TO OURSELVES.

1,124 days since my “acute” covid.

I see #fungi trending in covid 🌍

2021: I nearly died of severe fungal growth in my lungs that “baffled” my Harvard-educated pulmonologist. I was in the ICU for a wk. My nurse suspected HIV.

My family called it “mental illness.” After my discharge, my health insurance company tripled my monthly premium. & then they refused to pay for medication to help my lungs recover bc the medication was “too expensive.”

The system isn’t “broken.” It’s working for certain specific groups.

But sure. Ignore covid.

Ok, personal anecdote.

For 2.5 years my cognitive ability was like rice pudding. I literally could not fix a microwave meal if it had more than 2 instructions. Meaning “make vent in cover, microwave for 4 minutes” was 💯 fine. But “make vent in cover, microwave 4 minutes, stir, microwave 2 more minutes” was totally fucking impossible. Too many instructions. That was my #longcovid cognitive impairment. But I spent 1.5 of those 2.5 years with ZERO IDEA about why my brain wasn’t working normally.

Which was fucking terrifying & traumatizing.

Quite (fucking) possibly.

I had a troll jump all over me in my dms a few months ago bc I dared comment on erectile dysfunction post-covid. We actually had a lovely chat. Once I showed him I actually gave a shit abt his welfare. It’s not impossible.

https://twitter.com/truthshamesthe6/status/1632520143799558148

It is. Honestly. It must be a major cause of all sorts of bad behavior/moods. I’m not an expert for obvious reasons. But it can’t be good.

If I post an article that does not include recommendations for masking, ventilation, & clean air it’s because I have been screaming into the void about those issues for eternity. So have many of you. Maybe those key words turn some people off. Maybe we need to rethink our language & approach. Maybe brains limited by cognitive impairment due to SARS2 see 1 or 2 words & tune out completely. Maybe a tweak to language can cut thru the SARS2-induced fog & denial. Just a thought from someone who spent 3 years in special ed.

“Molnupiravir’s mechanism of action also carries the risk of spawning new viral variants. Recall that its entire modus operandi is, essentially, destruction via mutation. Certain scenarios, some as banal as”

⁦@LongDesertTrain⁩ insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/patient… “a person forgetting to finish their full course of medication, may bring about all of the mutation with none of the destruction.”

This tweet is specifically for @ashishkjha @AshishKJha46 (whichever/both):

THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT DOES NOT “WORK” FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH #LONGCOVID.

I’ve said this a billion times on Twitter.

Crickets. 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗 1. People with long covid have ZERO federal civil rights. Ask me how I know.
