  1. Today is 10 days post exposure to #Covid at work. #Lucira #NAAT #MolecularTest shows a negative!

    Because NAAT offers a 95 to 99% accurate result (as long as the sample was collected properly), I feel confident that this negative result is a true negative.

    No symptom development. Rigorous #N95 use, plus nasal spray & mouthwash, works ✅

  3. Three days later and several more people are showing symptoms of #covid after being exposed to the confirmed positive case from Tuesday. 😵‍💫

    Obviously, they’re still coming to work/school. Obviously, I’m keeping my #N95 on and using nasal spray and mouthwash multiple times per day. Hoping my 2x #Novavax is offering a little extra protection!

  5. #CovidDispatch from #NYC: I’m hearing anecdotes about recent/current #COVID infections, and symptoms that appear to characterize the newest #VariantSoup are respiratory in nature. Specifically:

    Bad cough; “water in lungs” feeling; trouble taking deep breaths; lung congestion.

    Since almost any symptom could be caused by #covid19 these days, stay alert and continue being #CovidSafe!

  7. Two days into my new job and I’ve already been exposed to #covid! Good thing I always wear an #N95 even outdoors when I am around other people.

    Given the fact that nobody else in my workplace was wearing a #mask or #respirator, this should be a good litmus test of the efficacy of #PPE and the other precautions I take.

  9. Dispatch from #Brooklyn #NYC

    I’ve started collecting my own examples of “my kids are always sick” from #SocialMedia…it’s getting increasingly more common to see these kinds of posts dominating my feeds.

    I think it’s important to keep sharing this kind of anecdote, esp when it seems like everyone is desperately embracing the #COVID “being over” nonsense.

    I do think that the pollen in NYC is really bad right now & agree that I never had allergies before I moved here…but can’t help wondering if anyone else still tests for #COVID 🫢

  13. Despite being vocal about how important it is to advocate for yourself (in the form of asking people to wear a #mask or #respirator in your personal space), actually doing so in real time can be intimidating. Especially when they’re both a stranger and a cisgender man 🥹

    Luckily, there are still people who seem not to give a fuck and will do as you ask.

  15. Dispatch from #Brooklyn #NYC — At a Rite Aid waiting for a vaccine. Overhearing people talking about how “no allergy medicine works for them any more.” No #masks in sight. Nobody in the pharmacy is masked—and every single one of them is coughing, touching their faces, and wiping their noses with their bare hands. I guess we’ve learned absolutely nothing 🙃

  17. Dispatch from #Brooklyn #NYC — Most of my dispatches end up being about public transit and the egregious lack of #CovidSafety on subways/buses. It’s still relevant, though, since we’re still in a #pandemic!

    Over the past month: many more ppl wearing masks on #MTA. Including MTA staff. Good; but why are we STILL wearing cloth masks in 2023???? 😟

  19. Dispatch from #Brooklyn #NYC — In the last 48 hrs, I’ve seen 4 ambulances parked outside residential buildings/houses. In 2 instances, they were loading people in on stretchers.

    On the #MTA bus: out of ~25 passengers, at least 5 had loud, wet coughs and/or BIG sniffling. That sounds like 20% of people out in public w/active illnesses to me!

  23. Completely anecdotal:

    In January (~5 months after having had #COVID for the first & only time) I began experiencing nerve pain on the very surface of my skin. Localized, almost like one "patch" of skin on my thigh, upper arm, or forearm was irritated.

    It felt akin to pins & needles, but manifested more in terms of sensitivity than numbness. Not debilitating, but uncomfortable and annoying.

    Even the slightest touch (e.g. wearing clothes) hurt.

  25. Dispatch from #Brooklyn #NYC — I was walking a client’s dog today when I had a strange interaction with someone I see often. She’s always maskless.

    We said hi, our dogs said hi. Pause. Then she says, staring at my #N95:

    “Are you feeling under the weather or…?”

    I let a long moment pass before simply replying, “Nope!”

    She quickly followed with, “Sorry, that was rude.” I assured her the #respirator is comfortable!

    WHEN and WHY did common courtesies like coughing/sneezing into your elbow, NOT leaving the house when you’re sick, etc. FLY out the window?!

    WHEN did this social shift occur? WHY did we leave any semblance of sense in 2019? 🤬

  31. Dispatch from #Brooklyn #NYC — I spotted this digital billboard while waiting on the #MTA #subway platform.

    Felt dystopian to see a #Pfizer advertisement for a so-called no cost #COVID treatment when, in reality, you’re probably going to have to pay *someone* to give it to you.

    As per usual, the #US #Healthcare system preys upon the needy & the desperate, perpetuating inequality at every turn.

    High ceilings, large rooms, & many air vents (can only hope #HVAC was working well!) allowed the #CO2 reading to stay below 2000 ppm.

  37. One of my fave kinds of passive #activism is to airdrop #COVID related #infographics to random people while I’m out. It feels like I’m doing something daring 😂

    Most decline the airdrop request. But it’s super rewarding when they accept, and even better when they say something about it out loud to whomever they’re with.

    Went to the gym in an #N95, as always, to lift some weights. Much more crowded than usual. Several visibly sick people. #CO2 was at 2875 ppm. Two other people wearing masks—one #KN95 worn properly, one cloth fully under the nose 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ew.

  49. Ethically and morally, it is wrong that kids have to suffer with illness, disability, and even death as a direct result of their parents’ ignorance to scientific information.

    But, then, there probably is no use in outright blaming parents, and esp not as a whole. When I actually examine who I’m angry at, it’s those who know better and still choose to act with no regard for others.

  51. #CO2 reading of 534 ppm* in my #Brooklyn apartment this AM—one adult (me) and two cats. One window cracked open -2 inches. Not bad!

    Note: reading was taken after I’d been rushing around doing household chores (i.e. vacuuming, washing dishes) for 30 minutes, so I suspect I would’ve gotten a lower reading if I’d been sentient.

    *Accuracy of CO2 monitor estimated +/- 50 ppm

    Most people walking through the park are coughing, and maskless, of course.
