At least this time #Bezos bucked a #government official, #rfkjr, & promoted #measles #vaccination.

Or maybe he wasn't looking.

Either way this is serious & we all need to be vigilant since the #usgovernment is not.

#getvaccinated for you, for someone you love or maybe just someone you've never met.

Dear #MAGA folk asking #wwjd. He'd get vaccinated & #isolate if exposed to protect "the least of these". You should too. What? Jesus wouldn't get sick causes he's God? You're not God.

When I say "Stay safe!" that doesn't just mean #MaskUP so you don't get #Covid bcuz #CovidIsNotOver

It means don't get the #flu

It means don't get #RSV

It means don't get #Norovirus

It means be careful of the drivers who seem suspiciously #CognitivelyImpaired #PostVirus running red lights, backing up without looking, stopping to text in the street

It means careful of drivers who are intentionally hitting pedestrians (!!)

It means REST & #Isolate if you are sick.

Just...

Stay Safe!

My house is divided. One of my two cats got parvo. Don’t worry, she’s doing so well you’d never know she was sick. So we kept the brother cat in the bedroom to isolate.

Now my wife has a fever and cough, so I’m in another bedroom to isolate. So, both the humans and cats need to isolate. Everyone misses each other.

We can't even protect our first lady. #covid again. Biden doesn't even know how to isolate right. He was in close contact, he needs to be masking anytime around others, not just when he's 6ft or closer but any place where shared air, it lingers inside, its airborne, and it can spread outside too. Incubation period any time between 2-14 days, he needs to cancel his flight/visit with foreign leaders next week. Who is giving him advice? Don't half-🫏 protections. #MaskUp #Isolate #COVIDisAirborne

“The #RoyalSociety report, called #Covid19: examining the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions, reviewed the evidence gathered during the pandemic for six groups of #NPIs and their effectiveness in reducing transmission.

These included #masks and face coverings, #SocialDistancing and #lockdowns, #test, #trace and #isolate, #TravelRestrictions and controls across international borders, environmental controls, and communications.” mastodon.social/@mackayim2022/

In that, I mean I don’t even remember my #childhood much less #happierTimes with her

Seriously, if you’ve paid attention to US #politics in the past several years, then you’ve witnessed what someone living with #AntiSocialPersonalityDisorder (ASPD) can do to a government. Imagine what that type of person could do to a family

I’ve allowed her to #isolate me. Now I’m #struggling with the idea of #fighting for the #truth to a family who I no longer have a #relationship with

Am I #WastingTime?

easiest metaphor for understanding how to prevent #covid transmission: how would you adjust your behavior if instead of exhaling #virus, someone was exhaling #cigarette smoke?

(this won’t work if, for whatever reason, you don’t mind inhaling second smoke)

you know that the more smoke you inhale, the sicker you’re going to feel

so what would you do?

first things first, you might suggest the person smoking #isolate themselves by going to some kind of smoking room or area

barring that, you would adjust your behavior to protect yourself

if you were outside, you might take a step back

if a whole crowd of people were smoking, even outside, you might stand away from the crowd

if you were indoors, you would probably open some doors or windows if possible

maybe you’d turn on a fan or an air filtration system of some kind (like a #hepafilter )

if you were stuck in a situation where smoke was accumulating in the air (remember the haze in the air in bars in the 90s?) you might try doing what you could to cover your nose and mouth (like wearing a #mask or #respirator)

it’s possible that none of these methods on their own seem useful but if you picture COVID accumulating in the air like smoke, you can see how a combination of these methods might #cleartheair and make it easier to breathe

it’s unlikely that you would sit back watching the room fill with smoke and tell yourself there’s nothing to be done

not when there absolutely is
