@ABScientist I’m pretty sure a “/s” belongs at the end of that comment. We Americans aren’t as good at detecting sarcasm as you might be.
Saw you have yet another horrible #Covid brain damage report on your timeline. It’s really an apocalyptic situation, isn’t it? Millions of people have credentials for highly skilled work but no longer the same brains as when they earned those credentials.
The second time he told me the story, a few weeks ago, I thought, “Yeah, I’ve done that, too. We’re both getting older.”
The third time he told it to me, a week or so later, I thought about all the #brain damage people are getting from #Covid now.
The fourth time I wondered how many infections he’s had. So far.
We are now at the beginning of something unprecedented in all of the history I know about: a near-universal decline in human competence.
Our entire foundation of trust in the expertise and capabilities of the many others we depend on is being eroded. People earned their credentials with brains they simply no longer possess.
Of all the many terrible aspects of the #Covid #pandemic disaster, this and immune system dysfunction are the most likely to result in #collapse
12//Which is all to say, in summary, that walking around not wearing an #N95 during yet another surge of this #pandemic that quite obviously not over—unless you are a billionaire, business owner, politician, or political/media prostitute thereof, or your brain is already too far gone to change course—is an incredibly stupid thing to be doing.
Far dumber than taking a 5% chance of losing a foot out in the woods today.
Wake up. Thanks, Ted Talk etc. etc.
The first rule of Brain-Damaged by a Virus Club is that you do not talk about Brain-Damaged by a Virus Club.
Now that most people have been infected multiple times with a #virus that has been shown to cause #brain damage, with a significant and measurable decline in cognitive power, I’d be surprised if we weren’t seeing the effects on a society-wide basis.
Unfortunately, we are. And one of those effects, which serves #SARS2 very well in its mindless evolution-driven goal of genetic replication, is to make people unwilling or even unable to understand why it’s happening.
@Cheesealicious I’m no expert but I believe this is a very real phenomenon that is quietly tearing our society apart. Now that almost all world leaders have been infected, some repeatedly, things are visibly worse. People just don’t care about others.
Take a look at the #toxoplasmosis and #NoToBrainInfections hashtags.
Danielle Beckman studies the effect of #Covid on the human #brain. If you have one of those, this is worth paying attention to. Also if you are concerned about your President’s evident cognitive decline.
“I have spent hundreds of hours in the microscope looking at the worst viruses can do to the brain, including the Zika virus, HIV, Flu, and others. I've never seen the type of damage SARS-CoV-2 leaves behind after infection with other viruses.”
People, wake the fuck up about #Covid already, if you still can.
@andymoose @windrunner The comments in this Reddit thread back up what both of you are saying. It’s not a Covid-related subreddit, either.
People, just wear an #N95 and say #NoToBrainInfections
