- A picture is worth a thousand words.
I’m seeing a lot of “if your mask works why do I need one” and want to tackle the reason one way masking isn’t enough. I’m immunocompromised and wear a fitted N99 anytime I leave the house. It’s excellent personal protection. I still wish more people would mask 🧵 - So, let me get this right. Up to 60% of cases are asymptomatic. Up to 75% of you bastards will hide your positive status. I don’t want to hear a peep out of anyone dissing people protecting themselves by wearing a respirator 😷 #WhatABunchOfAssholes #COVIDisAirborne“≈75% reported concealing illness in interpersonal interactions, poss placing others in harm’s way. Motives largely social (parties) Concealment widely prevalent, concealers trade off risks to others in favor of own goals, potential PH consequences” 💯 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
- “Burning Man flu”. Out in the middle of the desert with no walls or ceilings to enclose you. People are catching SARS-CoV-2 OUTSIDE 🤔 You’re welcome ☺️Oh no, it happened. Someone posted about their whole camp having the “Burning man flu”.
- Friends family all tested prior to visiting family member with late stage Alzheimers. Son tested positive. No symptoms. Positive kid stayed home. The rest went to visit immunocompromised patient. Didn’t occur to them they were all close contacts who are about to test positive.
- COVID-19 is sexually transmitted. That’s what you wanted to wake up to this Saturday afternoon as you do the walk of shame… COVID-19 is sexually transmitted. #COVID19isSexuallyTransmittedRNA DETECTION and PERSISTENCE in BODY FLUIDS associated with SEXUAL ACTIVITY (saliva, semen, vaginal secretion, urine and faeces/rectal secretion). bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/2/e… INCLUDED STUDIES : A total of 182 studies with 10 023 participants.
Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextIncorrect/misleading: the study does NOT state that covid-19 is sexually transmitted. While they have found viral particles in excretions, it was not any *viable virus*. (Also note it's an airborne virus. If you're having sex, you're PROBABLY breathing the same air already.) bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/2/e… twitter.com/ejustin46/stat… - People on TikTok losing their minds over what SARS-CoV-2 has done to their brains. “Where’s this study?”, they ask. It’s not a study, it’s about 1/2 a million studies that talk about the 1/2 a billion of us who developed Long COVID et. al. 🔗 👇🏻 1/2You’re unable to view this Post because this account owner limits who can view their Posts.

- Considering the overwhelming scientific evidence that shows how badly SARS-CoV-2 damages the body, the first question doctors should be asking is: How many COVID infections have you had, that you know of? It should be the first question we ask anyone outside our immediate clan.

- Indeed COVID-19 may be sexually transmitted. From male testicles. Wear a condom. 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠Virus that causes COVID-19 can remain in sperm for 110 days after infection.

- Over 400,000 peer reviewed articles on COVID-19. Over 15,000 peer reviewed articles on Long COVID. Where the fsck have you been during the last four and a half years?! 🤦🏼♀️What's up with undergrads missing class constantly due to sickness? I've heard this is a thing at multiple institutions. My class has been repeatedly decimated.
