When someone sets their self on fire to protest the horrors that their country is funding, and everyone else pleads for others not to do the same because they know other people don't want to keep living besides people who ignore horror after horror after horror.
Not to mention the normalization of 12, 16, and 24 hour shifts in the medical field, as well as there being no legal recourse to refuse being mandated to stay beyond 24 hours when you don't have relief.
Worker abuse, systemic medical abuse, and ableism all in one go.

Click View on Twitter for the thread. Explains how COVID operates like HIV.
Just because line go down doesn't mean it's correct. The CDC changed covid reporting procedure TWICE in 2023, leading to less cases (and therefore deaths) being reported. Don't be stupid. Don't get tricked. Don't die for the economy. Mask up.

tl;dr: covid is a vascular disease, not a respiratory illness. it can affect your blood and every organ in your body. every time you're reinfected, your chances of getting long covid increase.
avoid being infected. reduce the amount of viral load you're exposed to.
the gap between what the scientific community knows and ordinary people know is massive. collective action is needed.
[ID: Tweet by @JamesSowka 12/2/23 “having none of my progressive friends care about Covid is the same as waking up and all of a sudden none of them care about climate change, or none of them care about abortion rights. It is such a profound level of emotional whiplash that I will never recover from.”]

"Why is everyone sick? What's going on?"
We're in a pandemic and we have been for five years🧍🏽♀️
And I have to add something that will piss a lot of people of, but many queer folks died after contracting HIV / AIDS. That much is commonly known.
I guess people just don't know what those are anymore. It is also called: human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Meaning that it wrecks their immune system. Leaving them immunocompromised.
And I see so many of the younger queer generations no longer masking, helping spread Covid everywhere, which will be another virus that most of the population doesn't care about, (just like they did with AIDS), but that survivors of AIDS will have to cautiously maneuver. This country can not take public health seriously. But you'd think the queers would. And you'd be wrong.
That is ANOTHER reason why you'll see less older queer people.
This is from 2020, but it definitely still applies.
In the age of mass murderers, this has become the collective thought process. (At least the mass murderers only affect people in their vicinity. Bullets don't replicate.)
