It’s honestly traumatizing and my heart goes out to anyone who’s experienced this

I have really deep thoughts on this but I just got dropped off at home by my boyfriend after a trip to the ER and I'm on enough muscle relaxants and pain meds to knock out a horse but like... I've been saying since the Supreme Court case that decided corporations are people (Citizens United (?)) That we were headed out of the realm of capitalism as we knew it, and certainly out of the prime capitalism that was Fordism (standardized low cost goods and decent enough wages for workers that allowed them to purchase those goods) and into an era of some form of nuveao (neuveau? That same fucker that that shit art movement was art neuveau) feaudalism, monopoly, oligarchy, and hegemony. I think those are the right words. Someone... like this so I can revise while not out of it.

How do they keep making later and later stages of late-capitalism

Masking also doesn't just apply to protecting you from Covid. It also helps defend against TB, most influenza strains, and numerous other particulate, droplet, misted and air born diseases. And it helps defend against dangerous pollution, allergens, and irritating natural dusts that effect air quality. Get the most effective and efficient masks you can afford.

Now is the Time to Start Masking Again

If you stopped paying attention to COVID with the release of vaccines, you've missed a lot.

COVID is airborne.

Long COVID impacts 10% of people infected by COVID (though this is beginning to look like a low estimate). Risk of Long COVID goes up with each reinfection. Long COVID is worse than initially reported.

Bisexual and trans people are more likely to develop Long COVID.

Black and Hispanic folks are more likely than White folks experience more symptoms and health problems from Long COVID.

"This is great and all but it's overwhelming. TL;DR?"

COVID is airborne. Long COVID is much more common (and serious/debilitating) than previously thought.

Mask with an N95 or better in all indoor spaces and outside when close to others. Improve your indoor air quality by opening windows and using fans/air filters.

Rapid tests are prone to false negatives so make sure to retest in 48 hours after exposure and/or when you develop symptoms. Isolate in the meantime. Consider upgrading to a NAAT (PlusLife, Metrix) or PCR (Lucira) if you have the money.

Things for you to do today:

buy some N95s or request some from a local mask bloc

open a window more often and/or buy an air purifier

buy the best COVID tests you can afford
