Guy I know: "Where are all these sick people you're talking about? I don't know anyone who's been sick." Me: "Everywhere. All over. Every city, every town, everywhere there are people. If you can't see it you're not looking".

Reminder: we are in a Covid wave right now NOT a lull. The annual fall lull got canceled this year that is all.

During this year, year seven of this pandemic, I have borne witness to horrifying chickens coming home to roost. Sudden deaths. Multiple organ failures. Frightening new diagnoses, especially those related to endothelium damage. Rare cancers. Kids and teens, sports and entertainment people disabled or dropping dead. Multiple reinfections in a single year. Hospital systems collapsing. ERs over-run. What I have not borne witness to is very many people connecting the dots. Please protect yourselves, your kids, your elderly, and your community.

Chris Murphy has had Covid multiple times. Connect the dots please.
It’s getting buried by the Haley Stevens nonsense, but Senator Chris Murphy had a stroke. Praying for him. He’s a good one.

I have 2 friends with covid right now both feel like death, as if they’ve been run over by a bus and had no idea it was so prevalent right now. Why the cover up? Just makes the spread worse! 😠😡🤬

There is something people don't understand The reason you can barely afford to live isn't because you aren't paid enough If you get paid more you will still be in the same condition The problem is that a handful of billionaires own everything, and they will ALWAYS milk you dry

Hey there friends, wanted to update everyone. My financial situation has rapidly gotten worse and while this is a major obstacle to not only my efforts, but my daily life as well, I have been drawing energy and inspiration from those around me who refuse to give in or give up. gofund.me/185171594 PayPal: [email protected] I used to think that there was no such thing as bad and good luck but lately my perceptions of the topic have changed. I now feel that the random chance of good and bad luck is like the weather, and that we must endure the storms as well as the calm days if we are going to get to where we are supposed to be. Maybe it's fate, maybe our lives are meant to play out like a predetermined script, and the bad days have to happen, no matter how bad they seem at the time. I think of all of my bad days, and the good, and all of the variables that lead me to both, and I now see them all as necessary, to get me to where I am going. I hope "where I'm going" has more good days than bad, but even on my worst day, I still have much to be proud of and happy for. I want to continue my efforts to help others and raise awareness, I am struggling, and I do need help, but despite my struggles I will continue to be an unflinching advocate for others, and for the reality of our situation. I have no choice but to keep pushing while trying to find full time work, and I have no choice but to reach out to others to help me continue my efforts and stay afloat. I am here to help, to raise awareness, and to promote the idea that the public needs to be educated, protected, and supported in this new world with Covid. Promises are hard to keep, but my stubborn resolve is an asset to me, and because of this I have no problem promising that I will keep working for others, echoing the reality of Covid, and doing everything I can to enact change. I am struggling, but I am no stranger to it, so I will do my best for as long as I can with the hopes that I can find more work to relieve the pressure, so I can focus more on the task at hand. Thank you to all who have and will support my efforts, I appreciate it more than I can adequately express. DM for any Questions or Advocacy Assistance requests.

This!
Don't listen to anyone saying there is cold air coming soon on social media, there isnt. The Super El Nino is about to kick into overdrive and will dictate the weather this winter. Look at our source of cold air in Canada... They might set a record for the warmest winter on record up there in many places.

People will say to you, "You’re just blaming everything on Covid." And they’re not wrong about one thing: Covid is LITERALLY affecting absolutely EVERYTHING around us, including this. Here are the sources, but this is OUTRAGEOUS. neurology.org/doi/10.1212/01…

COVID is vascular. Breaks through the blood-brain-barrier. 🦠🧠Neurotropic, neuroinvasive, neurovirulent. Damages the prefrontal cortex /frontal lobes. Causes loss of white & grey brain matter & fuses neurons The masses keep getting reinfected over & over. 13th wave! This is why
Algo hizo crack en la pandemia. Desde ahí empezó a imperar un sálvese quién pueda, una falta de empatía brutal, y un pasotismo general a la hora de hacer las cosas, y los trabajos. Esto va más allá de izquierdas y de derechas, se puede constatar en todos los ámbitos y sectores.

'Mink in captivity have previously been described as pandemic “time bombs”. The size and density of the farms give invading viruses a perfect environment in which to mutate'. H5N1, mink, seasonal influenza, potential for reassortment, no action. A biological risk nightmare.
“I can’t completely wrap my head around it. And you still have workers going into the mink farm, and it’s flu season, so this is when there’s a chance for new recombinants to occur” telegraph.co.uk/global-healt…

My manager started our team meeting this week with ‘sick rates are really up’ wondering is stress is contributing.. the team agreed they weren’t stressed… I log it weekly and have done for years. I’m the only one with a mask and called in a sick day for 6 years
An unseen tsunami. In German insurance claims data, people with a coded post-COVID diagnosis had on average 26.5 more sick-leave days in the first year (46 vs 20) and 6.9 more outpatient doctor visits than comparable people after COVID without that diagnosis🧵

Capitalism is where the richest people own everything, they run every business, they run every Government, they use your tax money to make their profits even higher. That is what Capitalism IS. And we have far too much of it. We need Socialism and as much of it as possible.
