I’m sitting outside of medical offices today waiting for my mother. I’ve seen three dozen people come in and out of the building, exactly one of them (besides Mom) wearing a mask.What is this mass delusion that it’s safe not to wear a #mask? I’m so tired. I’m so confused. I’m so disillusioned. I’m not “scared”. I AM being judgmental. But, safely first?!Humanity, I’m so disappointed in you.🧵#CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #TripledemicSite by @chrisisgr8https://youhavetoliveyour.life

The main reason I didn’t go in with her was that I knew zero patients and zero practitioners would be wearing masks. And it’s a doctors office; sick people are there. I did not want to get even more pissed off than I already am this morning. My mom knows she should do it, because she’s seriously high risk. But everyone seems to be bowing to the social pressure of not doing it. Everyone seems hell-bent on giving everyone else Covid or RSV or the flu like it’s no big deal. Not happy!🧵

Heyohhh, now it’s a thread! I understand that human beings are very bad at responding to threats that they cannot detect with their senses. I also understand that faith in leadership and science has diminished dramatically during the pandemic because messaging has been consistently confused, redacted, and weak. Many people I talk to say they follow the CDC, but the CDC is hamstrung. One person I talked to yesterday didn’t know that the Director suggested wearing masks again. 🧵

We lost our original, nascent idea that “we’re in this together” and we need to protect vulnerable populations (YES WE NEED TO). We are so traumatized, we so want to push this under the rug, we so don’t want to remember recent history and that millions of people have died from this. We underestimate our own risks, thinking, “That can’t happen to me.” We still get sick but *we don’t test* so we don’t know that it’s Covid. That’s the craziest part. It’s normalized now! Mom’s back. 🧵/

You have the RIGHT to protect your own health at work.The #CDC is still recommending masking! It’s not in the news because it’s not news anymore.It’s not easy to stand up for yourself in a world that is hell-bent on giving you #Covid. Whether you are at zero, one, or multiple infections, keep protecting yourself. Don’t give up on your health, and don’t give into bullies. The law is on your side.#CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne as are many other nasty bugs.https://www.okdoomer.io/under-assault-our-right-to-protect-our-health/

I am also on your side. I know it’s disheartening and dystopian out there.

@andymoose there seemed to be a few of them on the market earlier in the pandemic, geared especially toward people who need their faces visible for lip reading. A friend of mine was wearing one for a while.

@futurebird Some of these stripes and spotty kitties look a little more friendly than mountain lions! If you've never heard a mountain lion scream after it's caught prey, the sound will chill you to the bone. That is not a kitty cat that I would want to be near at any time. I can't run fast at all!

@futurebird I was trying to convince a friend of mine to study the ants that were coming into their bathroom and figure out where they were coming in the house, then distract them away. I told them a story about feeding ants in my home one year over winter next to the potted plant that they had nested in and I had brought inside. They were a joy to watch, and they moved out when spring came. But I like (most) insects so... 🤷🏽

@futurebird I've been thinking a lot about this! Depending on where you live in the world, at least two of these are going to be scarce at some point due to climate change, deforestation, etc.Garlic is the only one that will still be able to grow in most places. Assuming the bees surivive the coming decades, we may still have honey.The yaupon holly, native to the southeastern US contains caffeine. So, some hope there!Idk how chocolate will fare. Maybe we should grow carob?
