Friends and comrades, I will not be joining you today at any #April5 #protest

I will be at a wedding...IN A MASK.

As you should too at any protest. A good, high quality N95, not a flimsy surgical or fabric mask that has gaps and can't filter shit.

Stay safe out there. #LongCovid is no joke, peeps. It is hard to fight fascism when you cannot get off the couch.

Have a great day out there! Get charged up and energized! Solidarity to #AntiFascists everyhere!

Respirators are so effective that United Kingdom research has indicated their use by the public would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay, meaning the virus would have been highly suppressed for as long as respirator use continued. The exponential math of viral spread also means that perfect masking compliance would not have been required to achieve suppression.

The policy lead for CDC’s H5N1 response has resigned as egg prices are through the roof & the more dangerous D1.1 genotype just spilled over into dairy cattle.

The chaos of the last few weeks has been devastating to public health. RFK Jr waiting in wings to finish it off.

Wear a respirator. If you have flu symptoms, stay home. If you can’t stay home, you need to wear a respirator. If you have flu symptoms and pink eye? Get tested!
