Hey there’s a fire in NJ that seems like a big deal (it’s the orange blob on this link.)

This specific website is pretty great for seeing air quality, though there are others that may be better.

If you are near this location masking outside might be a good idea today.

Kristi Noem had her bag, purse, 3K in cash (who walks around with 3K in cash?) and more stolen in a DC restaurant.

The news outlets covering it are claiming the thief was wearing a medical mask.

The fascists will 100% use this as an excuse to enact more mask bans.

We saw it in NYC after Luigi Mangione’s arrest. It reignited the mayor’s desire to ban masks.

If you stopped masking, we need you to start again. Normalize them as a public health tool.

The more people masking, the harder they will be to ban.

Mask bans are discriminatory, ableist ugly laws that harm the most vulnerable among us.

There’s also no evidence they stop or deter crime.

Texas and New York are currently trying to enact mask bans, even as measles cases sore and politicians adopt eugenicist mindsets that say it’s our “patriotic duty” to remain healthy.

You know what helps people stay healthy? Wearing a mask.

Don’t let them say medical exemptions are the answer:

Usar mascarilla es subversivo.

El COVID no ha terminado:
• El 50% de las infecciones son asintomáticas.
• Mínimo 10% de las infecciones acaban en COVID persistente.
• Las vacunas no evitan ni reinfecciones, ni el contagio, ni las secuelas persistentes del COVID.
• Las reinfecciones nos destrozan. No hay forma de “entrenar” el sistema inmunológico porque no es un músculo. hay una idea errónea común de que la exposición a gérmenes dañinos fortalece el sistema inmunológico. las enfermedades virales como COVID, gripe, sarampión debilitan el sistema inmunológico, dejando la posibilidad de daños duraderos. La realidad es que no construyes tu inmunidad con infecciones repetidas, las vacunas fortalecen el sistema inmunológico enseñándole a reconocer los patógenos sin todos los riesgos. Centrarnos en la prevención de las infecciones es clave.
• Un test de antígeno rápido solo logra detectar con éxito alrededor del 60% de las infecciones tempranas sintomáticas y aproximadamente el 22% de las infecciones asintomáticas. Los PCR y test moleculares son los test con más precisión.
• El COVID se propaga y mueve como el humo de un cigarro, piensa en las personas de tu alrededor y en ti como personas que están todo el día fumando, se hace más visual entender cómo se mueve el COVID.
• En las infecciones con síntomas se tarda un par de días en dar los síntomas lo que quiere decir que estás por lo menos un par de días infectando sin saberlo. Eres infeccioso de COVID por lo menos 10 días.

Estudios en 14 países muestran una tasa de COVID persistente del 25% al 30%
Un nuevo estudio publicado en BMJ Global Health, realizado en 13 países de ingresos medios y altos, revela que el 25% de los pacientes reportaron síntomas de COVID persistente después de haber tenido COVID-19 sintomático. Además, el COVID persistente es significativamente más prevalente en personas de países con menores recursos y en pacientes de origen árabe o norteafricano. Un segundo estudio, publicado en BMC Public Health, mostró que, entre 3.693 pacientes con COVID-19 en China, el 30,2% reportó al menos un síntoma persistente de COVID prolongado, y el 10,7% indicó que los síntomas afectaban su vida diaria.
Mayor tasa entre personas de origen árabe/norteafricano. El primer estudio incluyó a 6.528 pacientes adultos con COVID-19 sintomático en Argentina, Brasil, Canadá, Colombia, Ecuador, Egipto, India, Nepal, Pakistán, Filipinas, Rusia, Arabia Saudita, Sudáfrica y Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Los autores definieron el COVID persistente como la presencia de síntomas reportados por el paciente 180 días después de la infección por COVID-19. Entre el 25,1% de participantes que dijeron experimentar síntomas de COVID persistente: - El 12,8% reportó trastornos del sueño, - El 9,8% dolor articular, - El 8,7% fatiga, - Y el 8,1% dolores de cabeza.
Mayor tasa entre personas de origen árabe/norteafricano. Casi un tercio de los participantes (29,8%) de países de ingresos medios-bajos dijeron tener COVID persistente, en comparación con el 14,4% en países de ingresos altos (razón de probabilidades ajustada [ORa] 1,53; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 1,10 a 2,14). La mayor prevalencia de COVID persistente se observó en pacientes de origen árabe o norteafricano (36,1%). Además, quienes fueron hospitalizados también tenían mayor riesgo de desarrollar COVID persistente (ORa 2,04; IC del 95%, 1,63 a 2,54). “Nuestros resultados sugieren que la carga sanitaria y los costos relacionados con la atención médica podrían recaer de forma desproporcionada en los países con menor capacidad para asumirlos,” escribieron los autores, “y afectar con mayor frecuencia a personas que pueden estar infrarrepresentadas en los ensayos clínicos de intervenciones contra el COVID persistente.”

If you want to fight fascism, ableism and eugenics while also protecting your health… the best thing you can do is wear a well fitted mask like an N95

They’re excellent at stopping the spread of Covid & other airborne diseases

Unsure how to choose one? Want to learn about mask blocs & fit testing?

I wrote all about respirators in the article below:

It’s bad enough we have healthcare workers refusing to mask, now one openly admits to practicing medicine while he has measles!

Does the HHS Secretary condemn this behaviour? No. He praises the doctor as an “extraordinary healer”.

Measles is airborne & wildly contagious. This doctor should lose his license. He almost certainly infected multiple patients.

Excellent article by @nicktsergas about Covid and immunity debt. He interviews many doctors and leading experts to explore whether repeat Covid infections are destroying our immune system.

We must keep reminding people that sarscov2 is a novel virus. It’s only been 5.5 years which is nothing in the lifespan of a brand new disease. We can’t possibly know its true long term implications, and we must have the humility to accept what we don’t know.

The rush “back to normal” and insistence that Covid is “mild” serves the ruling elite. It was shoved down our throat to keep end stage capitalism afloat, not because it was actually mild or over.

What can you do? Wear a mask. Ideally an N95 or better. Clean and ventilate the air. Donate and support local mask blocs. Stay home when you’re sick. Refuse to accept the narrative that anyone is expendable:

The medical establishment is resistant to change.

Semmelweis, who discovered the benefits of hand washing for infection control, was fired & put in an insane asylum.

Folks, doctors included, will deny reality as long as possible.

Maskers need to stand strong, the tides will shift eventually.

zeroes.ca/@nicktsergas/1143619

zeroes.caNick Tsergas (@nicktsergas@zeroes.ca)In 1846, a doctor proved handwashing could save lives. He was mocked by the medical establishment, lost his job, and was eventually committed to an asylum. Shortly after, he was beaten to death by attendants while trying to escape. In some ways, medicine is still like this. See why 👇 https://canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/04/18/trumps-cronies-arent-what-broke-public-health

#COVID cases and hospitalizations appear to be dropping in #NYC after a relatively small spring wave, while #flu and #RSV cases continue to drop!

Let's hope we'll get down to relatively low baselines on all three until the next wave. Do we dare to hope that we won't see a summer #COVID19 wave?

I'm back to in-person karaoke now, but until the combined hospitalizations are at truly negligeable rates, like below one per day, I'll continue to #WearAMask in elevators, trains and doctors' offices!
