🎯Hits the mark, bullseye! Describing how the government's attitude, and approach, are 'shutting down the lives of clinically vulnerable people'. #CovidIsNotOver #CovidContinues

Covid deaths are on the rise again, so what happens? Mask-wearing in hospitals is scrapped

The only masking that’s going on is that of the government’s continued failure to get to grips with the virus, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

UK Government is 'masking the ableism its rhetoric has encouraged: the othering and blaming of those who contract the disease, driven by the widespread but wholly mistaken belief that fit and healthy people don’t catch it.' @GeorgeMonbiot @guardian @covidinquiryuk https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/16/covid-deaths-rise-scrap-mask-wearing-hospitals?CMP=share_btn_tw

'Masking the cruelty of a system that shuts down lives of clinically vulnerable people.
These facts, and these people, treated as social embarrassments, locked in the government’s moral attic like a relative with a mental illness in Victorian England.'⤵️

@JoePajak I was stuck on two separate planes travelling back from Vilnius on Friday. First plane woman coughing up her guts, I did have a mask to put on thank God. Then on the plane to London another woman right behind me same thing. Both looked at me like I’m crazy for putting on my mask. Now I’m sick. You would think people would learn from Covid, but clearly not.

Covid Is Not Over In Wales

Hello there. Hope you’re feeling well. We now know from the experience of Covid in the beginning that pandemics start gradually and then speed up. A while back we were led to believe that Covid was over for those who vaccinated regularly (and don’t get me wrong here I was and will continue to be vaccinated - having had it pre vaccine I know the effects and indeed more tellingly in my case the after effects).

@JoePajak The amount of misinformation in the comments is deeply depressing.
