Majorities can be wrong. And.. It's hard to tell ppl "hey your doctor is wrong for not masking, they're endangering you and their patients"-- without coming off as a conspiracy theorist. "Hey they're wrong when they say Covid is mild, because long Covid isn't. It's wrong your president isn't masking. It's wrong what most people you know are doing." So, Yeah... Majorities can be wrong, and small groups right. In fact that's usually how + change starts. #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

I'm very excited that a #covid -conscious article I wrote "The Mosaic of Covid-Consciousness" got published in the British publication, the Psychologist, here in 2024! I think it is so important in spreading awareness to a wider audience. The field of psychology has an important place in our ongoing COVID-19 and #longCovid crises, and we all are a part of the solution. Please share it with your circles! https://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/mosaic-covid-consciousness

The retailer website Altruan (thats known for selling plus life PCR #covid tests) also sells 3-in-1 rapid antigen tests for Cov/flu/RSV for $1.87 each: Fluorecare brand. To my knowledge, you can't get these types of combo tests in the US, but shipping from Germany is like $30, so I ordered 10 to make it worth it. Link is here: https://t.co/WUWxjtbWPN

It's a #covid surge alright, but not a "winter surge". It's an unmasked gathering surge, an irresponsible-sick-traveling surge, a not-upgrading-filtration-and-ventilation surge. It's not a no big deal infection, it's a possible chronic disease, disability, or death infection. It's not an immune system builder, it's an immune system breaker. It's not evolving milder, it's evolving faster. We are not immune to it, we are blind to it. The answer is not masking alone, it's masking together, n95+

Allow people to protect themselves. Requiring masks in public is not violating; Requiring they get infected is. If you can't require masks, at least upgrade your #ventilation #filtration to reduce viral densities so they won't infiltrate masks over time. https://airsupportproject.com/using-the-airwareness-app-for-accessibility-in-classrooms-and-beyond/

Looking back on my comics from 2022, and realizing it really is as simple as this:Mandate N95s vs Mandate COVID-19. The real Smokey Bear would #WearAMask #n95 because #CovidIsNotOver #LongCOVID and would require #MasksInHealthcare For more free Covid Awareness Works visit https://the-maskers-comic.yolasite.com/

I might not know all the answers but I'm pretty sure they aren't: stop reading, stop thinking, stop talking to others about it...

Thread 4/4Like it's more real that #covid #longCOVID is in the 25-50% of infections range. And they aren't telling people this... then they are saying you do your own risk assessment and calling the ppl like us who are pointing to these studies wrong and quoting like 10 % which is too low to be accurate but still high enough to be a huge problem... But it's higher!https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-025-03974-7#xd_co_f=ZmE2ZmRlMzctZmQ5OS00YWI2LTliNTEtNThmZDJlYzRiM2Yz~
