#immunecompromised — Public Fediverse posts

I turned up today for my postponed (by the pharmacist) #Covid #booster & was told I couldn’t have my “immune compromised booster” until I turn 65 in May!!!

“Bullshit!” I said, totally blindsided by this crap I was being told.

“I don’t make the rules,” he said & walked off.

This is the same guy who’s given me my previous #immunecompromised 6 monthly boosters!

Definitely not happy. Definitely not using this #fuckwit again.

Yesterday was the international day for disabled people. I only know of one local event celebrating it, and it isn't accessible because attendees aren't being asked to wear masks. Also, it isn't being streamed. It claims to be accessible and inclusive.

I do not appreciate the irony.

Big shout out to my husband’s idiotic coworker who got my immune compromised ass sick with Covid. Thanks for cheerfully hacking up your lungs while not wearing a mask around him when you know he has a wife like me. Sure glad you had your freedom.

Luckily, and I hope it stays this way, it’s mild with only a cough from hell, but not gonna lie, I’m a bit scared.

But to the above coworker and other anti maskers 🖕🏻

#TopicTuesday Long Read: Disability Inclusion within Brimbank.
My first question raided at this months council meeting was as follows:
“Brimbank's 2022-2026 Disability Action Plan was released around 4 months ago, yet there is no reference to Neurodivergent people (other than reference to a symbol identifier), let alone any planning to ensure their inclusion in our community. Neurodivergent people should not need to wait until 2026 before their barriers to inclusion in Brimbank events will be considered, so what action is Brimbank City Council taking, to ensure their inclusion is possible at council run events?”

1/8

Hi everyone. I would really appreciate your support in answering this very short poll if you are eligible, and sharing it with your networks. Thank you very much for your time. You are wonderful.

This question is for you if:
YOU ARE / YOU CARE FOR / YOU LIVE WITH
someone who is Neurordiverse, Immune-Compromised or otherwise At Risk of COVID-19.

"Would you like to see a return of / inclusion of online events in your community?"

Praying my risk is negligible but I’ve been isolated for three years at great detriment to my mental health and now have potentially been exposed to Covid because I needed heart tests and had waited so long I couldn’t wait anymore. This is wrong. How do other #disabled and #immunecompromised patients calm themselves after something like this? #sarscov2 #covidisairborne #covidisntover #covid #bringbackmasks

I’m so sick and tired of always being afraid because no one will do anything to protect the #disabled and #immunecompromised from #covid. I’ve been completely isolated the entire pandemic - and I’ve got one caregiver left who still isolates prior to come seeing me. Today she informs me she grabbed a burger through the drive through yesterday. Is that a risk? She was masked (headband N99), they werent. I feel like it’s incredibly low risk but I’ve been so careful because I can’t worsen my

I was at an oncology center yesterday and had an interesting experience. Very few staff in masks. No mask requirements for patients unless you had symptoms.

I found it odd. All other medical facilities I have been to recently required masks, I am guessing due to covud/flu/rsv being so prevalent in the community. But the oncology center didn't.

I kept mine on anyway.

I love my wife's parents.  Having a great time in Florida.

I was reluctant to travel from Maryland to Florida because -- you know
-- #COVID. And #Flu.  And #RSV.  And apparently #Strep Throat is going
around too.

However -- I had to come.  Yeah -- I could say no, but then I would
incur the marital damage of refusing to visit for several years... In
fairness, this emergency is going to go on for YEARS to come, so no
upset with my wife.  Even though it is a damn stupid time to travel.

Plane flight down the Thursday before Christmas -- fully packed flight
to Atlanta and the idiot next to me without a mask and coughing the
whole time.  Angela and I had N95 masks on the whole time.  Both fully
vaccinated and boosted against COVID and the Flu.

3 days after the flight, Angela got sick.  I managed to hold out about 6
days before getting symptoms.

You know those home COVID test kits?  Yeah -- lots of luck -- Angela has
been testing negative for well over a week with symptoms.

Today's urgent care visit -- negative on Flu and Strep.  Mild positive
on COVID -- mostly likely because we are now on the tale-end of it.  So
Angela has bronchial problems on top of COVID. I'm pretty mild -- a
minor miracle considering *I* am the one who is mildly
#immunecompromised.  Ear infections and swelled neck lymph nodes too. 
Antibiotics, nasal saline, and steroids in our immediate future.  Angela
gets a stronger antibiotic and an inhaler too.

Fun times.

Really hoping her parents stay okay.

I'm annoyed at being a poster child for stupidity here when I've done
little but isolate the whole time since March 2020.  We are also very
lucky.  This is my first (rather mild) go at having COVID.

Telehealth needs to be here to stay.

Any and all advice welcome & please be gentle. Im genuinely unsure how to protect myself in this scenario as I’m mostly used to people entering my home for healthcare or going to the hospital. Perhaps after 5-6 hours I don’t need any precautions and can just enjoy! #sarscov2 #covid #immunecompromised #NEISvoid #maskswork #bringbackmasks

As I just read another article on #LongCovid and one on post- #covid immune deprivation in children, I am wondering why so few people still wear #masks. With an #ImmuneCompromised family member, we still rigorously wear KN95 masks in public indoors spaces and still do not eat indoors in restaurants. We now appear to be extreme outliers in our community. Why? So far we have still not caught COVID, but being the only masked people takes an emotional toll. #PublicHealth

Trying to get used to this space, but am still a bit lost in the wilderness!
