* wear a mask in public
* don't go to work sick

* help me out with my bills (I pay 5€ a day for supplements excluding medication, because of a PAIS [post accute infectious syndrome like post covid, mecfs or whatever] - my health bills alone exceed my income)
* spread empathy, not hate

We don't talk about this enough but it is another factor affecting instructors' workloads, student learning in higher ed. If it feels like things never went "back to normal" it's cos they didn't

For a piece about wearing a mask as an act of community care, I'm looking to talk to people in the UK (especially Scotland) who are still masking regularly!

If this is you, and you're up for answering some questions for me, please drop me an email me at quinn@quinnrhodes.co.uk.

This is a directory of mutual aid organizations where you can donate or receive free masks to protect yourself from Covid. Listed by state or province in the US and Canada. Some even provide additional resources, like free testing and loans of air purifiers!

Sure would be nice to do something, anything, to mitigate this increasingly common nightmare.

Long covid can happen to anyone and so far all we're doing as a society is pretending everything is fine and people who struggle are on their own.

How long until we realise that a culture of masking, clean air everywhere, and accessible vaccination, treatment, testing and isolation are preferable to just discarding people like they're disposable?

Dass diese COVID-Realität mal von jemandem angesprochen wird, hätte ich kaum noch erwartet. Aber gut und besser spät als nie.

"Wie die AOK Hessen betont, ist das Covid-19-Virus keine reine Atemwegserkrankung. Es könne den gesamten Körper betreffen – etwa Herz, Gefäße, Nervensystem oder Stoffwechsel. Auch Langzeitfolgen wie Long Covid seien weiterhin ein ernstzunehmendes Risiko."

Working on tomorrow's Threat Model: Covid and I just noticed that last week's was the 300th. Three hundred weekly #Covid and #LongCovid news updates. Every week, same time, same day, for 300 weeks. Wow.
