Reality check ...

So #PeePee is finger pointing at the #Liberals for causing inflation and the high cost of living ...

When #COVID hit, the government had a choice. Let businesses and personal finances crash and burn - or provide financial assistance (without any associated productivity).

Flooding the market with cash causes inflation - that's just the way it works.

Was there a better choice ... ?

#CleanTheAir is not a new concern, nor is the negligence of elites to prevent #disease like #Covid. The remainder of this thread is (quotation marks omitted) From Plutarch's Lives, Vol. I, A.H. Clough trans. Though Plutarch's sympathies are not really with the common people here, the truth of the situation is evident to anyone who knows #CovidIsNotOver.

In the first place, the pestilential disease, or plague, seized upon the city, and ate up all the flower and prime of their youth and strength. ... 🧵

I have #COVID for the 4th time (I am fully vaccinated but am on 2 immunosuppressants so very susceptible) and it's the first time I have had it that I've lost my sense of taste. Is such a strange symptom. I get the texture, but the only taste I get is bitter or salt- not individual flavour. My daughter baked me a lemon & raspberry cake but I tasted no lemon, but got the tang of raspberry but not the flavour of it. Even menthols have no taste, but I feel the cold fumes unblocking airway passages.

>>Remember COVID toes?... A study has found that people with pandemic chilblains have an unusually strong immune response to single-stranded RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2, driven by overactive plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) responding to TLR7 signals. These individuals likely cleared the virus early with innate immunity, before developing antibodies, but the inflammation triggered chilblains in their toes.<<

Eine Studie in US-Veteranenkrankenhäusern hat festgestellt, dass #Covid anfälliger für andere Infektionen macht. In der Umfrage im Artikel bestätigt eine Mehrheit diese Beobachtung.

Leider wird die Konsequenz nicht thematisiert: Schön, dass dieser Effekt wahrscheinlich nur etwa zwölf Monate anhält - dann kommt aber ja meist auch schon die nächste #Corona-Infektion und das Spiel geht von vorne los.

My goodness are transparent n95 masks a thing?

I have no hearing disorder but a part of my neurological impairment is auditory processing issues. I almost always need some sort of augmentation to understand someone- high compression audio (on a PC or phone), subtitles on TV, or reading lips in person.

Masks are a serious impediment to me understanding someone, and while I wouldn't ask someone to be put at risk of illness, it can be physically painful for me to listen to someone wearing a mask!

If there was an option where I could give someone a mask an option... that would be huge.

Hace 5 años que empezó la pandemia, y dos grupos muy diferentes se pusieron de acuerdo para negarla: los fachas y los jipis.

¿Es demasiado pronto para ponernos de acuerdo en que la rabia antisistema salió de forma natural para contradecir cualquier cosa que hiciera el gobierno, y más sorprendente aún para proclamar que miles de muertos y enfermos eran datos falsos?

Con ejemplos tan claros como el de los EEUU de Trump, deberíamos estar de acuerdo en que las políticas negacionistas resultaron en más muertes y peores condiciones para la clase trabajadora. Mientras que los gobiernos de izquierdas salvaron muchas vidas con sus políticas proteccionistas y la inoculación obligatoria de la vacuna.

Nos hemos forzado a olvidar las conspiraciones que decían que las vacunas servían para lavarnos el cerebro, que las había creado Bill Gates para manipularnos, que tenían algún tipo de metal imantado capaz de aguantar unas llaves pegadas al brazo.
