I've said it before but I'll say it again.
It's not that everyone I know who had #Covid has developed terrible new medical issues.
It's that everyone I know who has developed terrible new medical issues recently had Covid.
And in every case I'm thinking of, it's become a health crisis within about three months of their most Covid bout. (Usually not a bad bout, either.)
Chatted with a pharmacist this week about #covid boosters and they can only give them to folks over 65 and immunocompromised… unsure what kind of documentation that requires but province won’t pay for anything other… all the while movie industry folks I follow on social media show that everyone (actors don’t but everyone around them do) on movie sets still have to mask or they lose insurance coverage.

A reminder: epidemics and pandemics are expected to increase in frequency as the climate crisis advances [1] and as humans build deeper into wildlands [2].
So what do we do?
Address the climate crisis!
Embrace urbanism, controlled growth, and leave wildlands alone.
Push for infrastructure improvements for indoor air quality.
Push for better healthcare and sick leave policies.
Advocate for better funding for scientific research.

Support Violet Blue's book Kickstarter. The book not only explains how to protect yourself from Covid, but also how to deal with the mass gaslighting and denial. And to set boundaries with people.
Pledges are affordable, they start at $3.00 USD. #Covid
"...interstate movement for a lactating dairy cow from a sale barn directly to a slaughter facility requires only a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) stating that the animal is clinically healthy; no testing is necessary."
I'll repeat that in case you missed it.
NO TESTING IS NECESSARY for dairy cows being sent to slaughter.
I suspect "clinically healthy" is a bit misleading in a similar way that "mild #Covid" is
#Sunak gave himself a glowing self appraisal of his time in government during #Covid yesterday, proclaiming his furlough scheme as an act of morality (that incidentally was far from unique to the UK)…but what about his ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme.?
Not discussed with the chief scientific officers or the cabinet secretary.
