“Those of us who've lost loved ones to Covid-19 remain forever indebted to nurses and health care workers who courageously cared for our dying family members and continue to save countless lives. Our responsibility is to prioritize their well-being, prevent further Covid-19-related suffering, and protect families from the anguish of loss and Long Covid."

"It is essential that the international working class understand the continued threat posed by COVID-19 and build a global movement, in unity with scientists and progressive layers of the middle class, fighting for the principles of public health."

(Frustratingly, Far-UV is likely to be cheaper in the long run than filtration, but high initial cost is a barrier to entry. Another example of Vimes' Boots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory)

"It’s crucial to understand that Biden’s Covid policy was never about stemming the tide of deaths but rather about making you care less about them—about managing the carnage out of your field of vision." - #GreggGonsalves

"It is therefore with great hope that I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency."

"The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that COVID-19 is nothing to worry about."

"This virus remains unstable — it has not settled into a predictable pattern, which means surveillance systems need to be sensitive to pick up the early signs of another surge."

"Today, Long COVID sufferers must navigate healthcare resources on their own. Many don’t know where to go or whom to call; triaging their symptoms and ensuring they find the right physician specialty is very complex. Further, there are no established treatment standards for Long COVID. This reality means that patients are desperate for the care they need. We must act now to help them."

"There is, and will be for the foreseeable future, sustained transmission across multiple countries alongside a significant burden of hospitalisations and deaths. Therefore, we may end up in the situation where there is technically an ongoing pandemic despite a declared end to the PHEIC. Such are the difficulties in defining the different stages of a global crisis." - @TheConversationUS

"In the U.S. as in the UK minority populations are succumbing in disproportionate numbers. And what of our regard for the elderly and our respect for those people who look after them—often, again, of immigrant and minority backgrounds? Internationally, elder care is manifesting itself as a scandal: neglected seniors, undervalued, stressed, and underpaid caregivers."

"On the individual level, some of us now have an enforced opportunity to consider how much of our self-concept is bound up in what we do out there in the world, with the activities we engage in, with the acceptance other people offer us. ‘If not all that, who am I?’ becomes an almost inescapable question. The answer may not be immediately comfortable."

"It may be shock for many us to discover that, even in the richest societies the world has known, economic security and physical well-being are so precarious for so many, that a threat can so rapidly arise to menace ways of living and being we had taken for granted. We may also be asking ourselves just how essential some of our ordinary concerns have been."

"The coronavirus has exposed the vulnerabilities and inequities built into our health-care infrastructures, social safety nets, and economies—aspects that must be addressed as quickly as possible."

I'm thinking the whole apathy, and disregard and exclusion of vulnerable communities thing is an indicator of why the climate is certain to collapse and humanity is doomed.

If we can't count on empathy and concern for the lives of others during a pandemic, how can we expect our neighbors to set aside damaging gratifications in the interest of a habitable planet? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/26/covid-roulette-clean-air-ventilation-long-covid #COVID19 #COVID #LongCOVID #CommuniyTransmission #Pandemic #SeeYouSafer #PublicHealthEmergency @socialwork

"There is only one way out of our COVID mess. It is not denial. And it is not passivity.

"It is masking, testing, social distancing and clean air engineering via ventilation and filtration.

"If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, actually." - Donald Trump

"#NewMexico recommends using the CDC community transmission map to determine the level of risk in each area ... If the community transmission maps rely on reported testing by PCR and that is removed then there will be no accuracy in determining the actual community transmission rates. This is strategic."

The state is failing. It is up to us to protect each other, while advocating for public health protections that protect especially the most vulnerable. We cannot accept mass infection, chronic illness, and death.
