So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a…
I've seen a lot of this sort of mask wearing in the selfie trend.
Does the bridge of your nose have a corner? NO!
When you leave that crease in, you're leaving a gap that COVID can enter! See it in the profile?
But it's the shape, right? What can you do?
Here's an easy fix.🧵
Not enough people know about this, but there's a NIH-supported program giving out SIX FREE COVID TESTS.
Sign up here: test2treat.org
No insurance required. You also get access to telehealth, as well as free treatment (if eligible).
Please share and get the word out!
I’ll make it simple. You’re no longer contagious when your antigen test is negative. If you follow CDC’s guidance and leave isolation at 6d, and your test is still positive, you’re still contagious. You should wear a mask. washingtonpost.com/health/2022/08…
1/ Surveying indoor ventilation in the US as I travel to a conference
I'll use Aranet4 CO2 meter (see next tweet for details)
At the @RideRTD Bus to the airport ventilation is very poor, worse than what I measured previously (but similar to meas. by others such as @DougChem )
There are as many bacterial cells in your gut as there are human cells in the rest of your body. And yet, we don't want E. coli (let alone Shigella or Vibrio) in our drinking water. Don't let pro-infection folks confuse "normal exposure to microbes" with "infection by pathogens".
I’m not a mind-reader, but I like guessing. What it might feel like when I ask them to practice additional safety before we get together so neither of us spreads the novel SARS-CoV-2 to each other? A list:
Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so here’s a quick thread to explain what they’re up to. Please #retweet as every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! 1/8
Another massive holy cow huge piece of news, so this will probably get about ten likes and disappear into the twitterhole:
CDC say this:
"the virus that causes COVID-19,
can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system
of the body weeks, months, and potentially…
Up until the early 2000s, it was normal to go to a restaurant or nightclub and get your lungs and clothes saturated with cigarette smoke.
Health effects were well known, but nothing was done. It was considered too difficult, too inconvenient.
Remind you of another health threat?
📍SENATOR RESIGNED BECAUSE OF #COVID—Senator Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) now admit that one reason he resigned from the Senate - was health troubles caused by #LongCovid. "Five or six others" in Congress have the same problem, @JimInhofe says. Wow. tulsaworld.com/news/state-and…
We face a choice: continue to ignore deaths from COVID-19 or prevent them. In collaboration with @RealOzSAGE, we call on the Australian government to act urgently to reduce transmission of COVID-19 by using the tools we have, instead of abandoning them.
Since we're NO where CLOSE to having zero Covid, here's Senator Tim Kaine's video on his experience with Long Covid. I wish everyone with Long Covid in Congress would speak out like Senator Kaine!
Please PROTECT yourself: COVID is NOT OVER. 🙏
This is a brilliant segment by the @TODAYshow about the direct connection between catching Covid and the raised risk of a heart attack.
I had to keep pinching myself to check it was real and I wasn't dreaming.
Thank you @NBCNews@ErinNBCNews@DrJohnTorres
Please share widely!
I'm very slow to process some things, so I know that even though others have pointed this out to me, and even though I've said this myself, I feel like I'm only now starting to understand a little more fully that the problem here is toxic selfish self-centred individualism.
Dear #SLPeeps. I hope you appreciate how important you are and how crucial your role is in the restoration of the lives of #LongCovid survivors. Few interventions, are more critical to them than tailored cognitive rehabilitation. Thank you, dear colleagues - we need you!!
