Hey #TaylorSwift & #LadyGaga!
Why aren't you doing this?? Instead of playing #Covid superspreaders.
Performers hold themselves accountable too!
✅ Outdoor Concerts
✅ #Masks required (#N95 or #KN95)
✅ Performers will test using Pluslife before each show
#Sick?? 🤧
Tested neg(-) for #Covid?
TEST AGAIN on
✅ Day 4
This study shows that while early on in the #Pandemic, you wanted to test as soon as symptoms started, because viral loads peaked on Day 1..
NOW...
Viral loads are peaking on Day 4
"Ag RDT sensitivity estimates were 30.0%–60.0% on the first day, 59.2%–74.8% on the third day, and 80.0%–93.3% on the fourth day of symptoms."

Has it been proven that one cannot get infected with #H5N1 from non raw milk?
Because last I heard there have been no studies done.
Or am I wrong?
Because...

Because on Apr 12, just 10 days after CDC published "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus in Animals: Interim Recommendations for Prevention, Monitoring, and Public Health Investigations" that said:
"...should avoid unprotected direct physical contact or close exposure w/sick or dead birds or other animals, carcasses, feces,
*milk*
or litter from sick birds or other animals potentially infected or confirmed to be infected w/ HPAI A(#H5N1) virus."
...
3/
...ALL references to "milk" were changed to "(raw) milk), with an additional 9 references to "(raw) milk".
If milk that is not raw, has not been PROVEN safe, why the change??
4/
The FDA seemed uncertain on Apr 25, a full 13 days AFTER "(raw)" was added to the CDC 's guidance:
"Additional testing is required to determine whether intact pathogen is still present and if it remains infectious"
Ya think??
Now, whether or not it has since been proven, the fact remains, they didn't yet know for sure and then played it down in the guidelines.
I find them all less than trustworthy. YMMV
They. Are. People.
Gee, it must've slipped their minds.
The media conveniently left this part out:
“The truth is that my health has been affected by long covid and this has limited my strength to undertake the breadth of travel essential to my position. Because I cannot be sure to regain that strength fully, I need to step aside for someone to be selected and to take over.” (from his email to staff)

Again with the death. I'm not concerned about death, immediate or later.
Just your luck, you'll survive.
And I don't know what data you're paying good money for or where but this country took away testing and reporting and won't even say the word #Covid so we might as well all be counting apples.
@freemo
Unless you have a special body part you're pulling #2 out of, no pun intended, then good luck with that.
Personally, wastewater is the only data I trust as the other two you listed can be cooked/ manipulated.
Deaths don't show severity of a disease. I'm so sick of death being the determiner of how bad #Covid is when so many, sooooooo many people are alive with #LongCovid
@freemo
And what do you suggest?
@luckytran
Oh no! You're sick ?
A few things you might not know:
✓ They told everyone to vax / boost & that that would be enough & nobody would have to mask. That has since turned out to be incorrect.
✓ Masking with an N95, KN95, or elastomeric respirator will keep you the most protected.
✓ FIT is important. If air can get in around the edges, you're not protected.
✓This means surgical masks will NOT protect you.

Sick of being #sick ?
It's not too late!
Whether you're #Vaccinated or #Unvaxxed
Don't want #Covid or Covid again or just don't want a #Cold or #Flu or #RSV or whatever #MysteriousRespiratoryIllness is out there.
#Masks WORK!!
#ButNotSurgicalMasks and not #CLothMasks Be sure to get an #N95 (head straps) or #KN95 (ear straps) or #Elastomeric (like #Flomask)(pictured in my profile) or better and #FitTest !
Questions?
Tagging local because I'm in the #PNW #Seattle @WashingtonState
ANY of the following can be the case:
• Mask wearers are immunocompromised.
• Mask wearers are sick.
• Mask wearers are caregivers of high risk people.
• Mask wearers know that #CovidVax is not enough to stop transmission.
• Mask wearers are healthy and want to STAY that way.
You, if you're smart.

NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE DEMOCRAT v REPUBLICAN, PLEASE TAKE IT ELSEWHERE. Thanks.
I love your toots but I'm going to have to beg to differ on this.
The best way to reduce your risk of getting Long Covid is to not get Covid.
The best way to reduce your risk of not getting Covid is to wear a well-fitted N95+ respirator/mask/elastomeric
That's what needs to be pushed, not vax and don't mask.
I'm going to stop saying "Covid patients" and start saying "Covid victims" because really, anyone who gets covid at this point is a victim of the government and public health officials taking away protections and measuring and feeding us propoganda like "it's over" etc etc etc.
Victims.
#CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #Covid #LongCovid #MaskUp #N95
Know someone with #LongCovid
Message them and ask them how they are doing. How their long covid is. And really listen.
Chances are nobody has asked about it for awhile.
And don't pipe in immediately how you are tired too, or how you're getting old and you understand.
Just. Listen.
@inthehands
Thanks for the mention Paul!
Is *anybody* surprised??

I've been preparing for the #Apocalypse since 1994 when the local fire chief said "We won't be coming to help you". The #PNW is overdue for The Big One™.I've been expecting the #plague. What I did not expect was for public #health organizations (I'm looking at you CDC) to throw their hands up and give up on the public. I didn't expect the public to go so willingly either.It shouldn't be this hard to keep up on the data just to stay alive. I'm weary but I won't stop.
