unfriendly reminder: dismantling public health is a *right wing project*. Don't support their work by saying "during Covid" when you mean "during Covid lockdowns" or "back when people still took Covid seriously".

We have normalized condoms and STD testing. We can do better with airborne diseases than sticking our heads in the sand in the face of life destroying, incurable diseases like Long Covid that current vaccines does not reliably protect against.

It's a truism in education that you're better off talking about the behavior that you want than the behavior you don't want. So here's my shot.

Please use the phrase "during COVID" to refer to now, when the disease began until it disappears, some day in the future.

Please use the phrases "during shelter-in-place" or "before we had vaccines for COVID" to denote those respective times which have actually ended.

@Osteopenia_Powers @dngrs FWIW, I usually say "since Covid started".
