Youtuber goes to NYC to visit Times Square - comes back sick. Another Youtuber with asthma has been sick for 2 weeks with no end in sight. Third Youtuber is sick and still planning to travel. Fourth Youtuber ---

Could SOMEONE get to these people before they all get LC from repeat infections (or worse, die)?? People, all around us, and not just Youtubers, are sick constantly with zero insight as of why.

Me too. I find it hard to take people, especially medical experts—seriously when they downplay the ongoing pandemic, act like it’s over, and then talk about “preparing for the next one.”

> The duty of care doesn’t land on patients. It’s the clinicians’ job to ensure patients don’t pick up an unintended infection. Patients have a right to safety in health care facilities. In the meantime, I can only advise my concerned patients to wear an N95 or KN-95 when in health care facilities and suggest they not be shy when asking clinicians to do the same.

"Applying the flu model to covid has been the death of public health as an idea. When people say public health has died with covid, they mean it literally for these reasons. Nothing about the science of covid says we should be dealing with it like the flu. From the acute harms to the longer tail of harm it can cause.

Public health died for capitalism and our health was the price."

"The Covid pandemic didn’t end; it was normalized as part of the capitalist drive to stabilize and perpetuate existing power structures. To "normalize" in this context means to embed the pandemic's disruptions into the routine operations of capitalist society, transforming what was once an acute crisis into a standardized, expected condition of daily life."
