It's (probably) not the flu.

#CovidIsNotOver #WearYourMask

First run with the Cue Health molecular COVID home testing system, since PCRs are now expensive and hard to find *grumble*

We are fortunate to be able to afford the system and cartridges here, which allows me to still do limited travel and activities (always masked) with a 5-day home quarantine afterwards in case of exposure.

This is a fucking crime. What a waste of participant time, not to mention valuable data being lost. I work in a behavioral health clinic. If I am in a room with a patient, I wear a fucking mask. It's not rocket science. #LongCovid #WearYourMask #FFS #DoBetterStanford https://www.thedailybeast.com/stanford-medicine-long-covid-study-blows-up-because-of-unmasked-staff?ref=home?ref=home

Long COVID has been kicking my bum, so I haven’t been around much. It’s been over three years, I can’t work anymore, and I’m less healthy than folks over twice my age. It’s tough, but I will survive. #longcoivd #wearyourmask

We've reached the "refresh the PCR results portal every 5 minutes" stage of the day. #BoredNow #CovidTestAfterTraveling #WearYourMask

Neuer Höchststand: Genau eine Person mit Maske auf der Fähre. Ratet.. :mastorespirator:

Once again I'm going to state that we still aren't half through the pandemic, unfortunately.

#WearYourMask

Off on an adventure this weekend, gonna make #music with some of my closest friends. #FlyingDuringCovid #CovidIsNotOver #WearYourMask #PreferablyAnN95 #SEAtoATL #GAFilk

I’ve been resting for two days. I haven’t been sick in two years. I forgot that after all that resting comes the body thinking it’s had enough rest, even though it’s only 2am. Glad I don’t have to be back at work until Wednesday. (PS still not forgiving my ex for not masking and making us all sick for the holiday…jerk)

#winterbreak #sick #wearyourmask

No rain today, but windy af. It’s cold, by SoCal standards, but we should really get out onto the balcony as soon as the sun warms it. We need some fresh air. We’ve been breathing stale, sickly air for too long.

What are you doing this fine day? (Or is it even fine where you are?)

Some things never change. At least not when you deny science.

This morning’s coffee has been replaced with licorice tea—good for sore throats. I drink it from the last clean mug in the place because I took a NyQuil at 7 and asked the kids to do the dishes. 😑 Of course, if certain people would mask this wouldn’t be an issue. It’s my ex, my ex is certain people.

the pandemic might chill out. But no, we’re going to force disabled people who are high risk to be stuck in their homes forever. It makes me so mad and sad seeing people not wearing their masks in public. It’s a huge sign that they don’t care about disabled and high risk people, or just people in general. And that’s sad. Makes my blood boil. 3 #angry #disabled #covid #disabledcovid #COVID19 #longhaulerscovid #PASC #LongCovid #LongHaulers #mask #masking #masks #wearyourmask #WearYourDamnMask

recent studies have come out that up to 4 MILLION people are out of work and disabled by Long COVID JUST IN THE US. There’s absolutely nothing normal about life today, nor we will never go back to that, it’s physically impossible. Those people are just gone. So many people disabled. And maybe if people would stop trying to force that and accept that things are different, 2/ #LongCovid #covid #COVID19 #PASC #longhaulcovid #LongCovid #covid19 #mask #masking #masks #WearYourDamnMask #wearyourmask

the US said eh, we’re bored and just pretended COVID was over because they wanted it to be. That’s not how pandemics work. COVID cases are rising and our hospitals (especially children’s hospitals) are at their breaking points. All so people can act like things are back to what normal was prepandemic, like NEWSFLASH: 7 MILLION PEOPLE ARE DEAD. 1/ #covid #masks #mask #LongCovid #PASC #COVID19 #LongHaulers #longhauler #wearyourmask #WearYourDamnMask #sad

Wherever you go, don't forget to wear your mask and bring your hand sanitizer. COVID is still alive...😷

#COVID19 #WearYourMask #BringYourHandSanitizer

Still don't understand unmasked people in public transportation. If I get a 2nd COVID because of these people, I'll pray the bad words for them!!!

#COVID19 #WearYourMask #PublicTransportationIsntYours

My head hurts so much from coughing. I tested negative many times for #covid19 - I'm going to test again before I sleep and every day. I know I have something...

#WearYourMask #covid19

Plot twist: the toxic person also turned out to be viral and brought Covid to the Jakarta office, coughing and splatting WITHOUT A MASK ON! Mask wearing still mandatory indoors in Jakarta. And some of us didn’t have the luxury of a 2nd booster shot! Well, thanks… we’re both only immuno-compromised and don’t know what this virus will do to us in the long run🤦🏻‍♀️ #livid #COVID19 #wearyourmask
