Pandemic-aware friends, #disabilityTwitter, #StillCoviding folks: drop links to Discords, spaces, Zoom meetings & other virtual meetups for those still trying to avoid Covid. It's a surreal time, and a lot of folks have abandoned or (like me) taken a break from Twitter.

It's not just avoiding Covid, it's avoiding it long enough for your doctor to actually look at some of the research about long-term effects. I am stunned by the incuriosity (and hostility!) displayed by several friends' PCPs when asked about possible cardiovascular/brain risks.

Thread So all this BS about there being no RCTs proving mask effectiveness are lies.

A) A proper RCT is impossible, and B) an RCT that tested "being forced to wear a respirator, but only at work" vs "up to you" showed respirators meaningfully reduced infection.

Thread 🧵 refuting a spurious case against mask requirements in healthcare

I won’t link a recent anti-mask article by infection control specialists as I refuse to amplify. However, I will address the inept “downside” case they tried to make for “Why Not” to mask in healthcare

The Physics of the N95 Face Mask You’ve seen them a million times. You might be wearing one right now. But do you know how they work to block a potentially virus-carrying respiratory blob?

Starting second thread on things we peasants can do to better arm ourselves against Covid.

Lots of great info below, but much is now outdated (monoclonals, Evusheld, where to get free tests and masks, etc...) but still a treasure trove. From now on I'll add to this thread.✌😷
