There is no post-Covid classroom.
There is continuing to teach during a pandemic, and ignoring the impact of repeated infections on students and staff.
The impact on attendance, performance and behavior was predicted and it's all come true.

A study from European Heart Journal found that C0VID can accelerate vascular aging and stiffen arteries, even if the initial infection wasn't severe.
Using a 😷 is a way to protect blood vessel health from these long-term risks.

"the vulnerable will fall by the wayside" (Fauci) & "these are people who were unwell to begin with, and yes really encouraging news" (Walensky) are both quotes from the Biden admin - the eugenicist weaponization of public health amid the ongoing pandemic is a bipartisan project
Covid constitutes the largest mass disabling event in the United States since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990.
Now, the Trump administration’s anti-worker and anti-disability turn has created a climate of fear and difficulty around Long Covid accommodations. motherjones.com/politics/202…

1. The bottom line: SARS-CoV-2 only emerged in late 2019. No-one can know the long-term effects of repeated infections, but with anosmia and cognitive dysfunction as common symptoms, the assumption I make is that there is a tsunami of early-onset neurocognitive diseases coming.

Millions of Americans are living with disabling Long COVID, but workplace support is getting harder to access. Under Trump, the federal Long COVID office was shut down and workplace guidance removed. Workers face new hurdles to disability support, risking job and incomes at risk.

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

yes. Thats why failing to wear a mask in an ongoing pandemic is social murder for example. Youre creating conditions in which ppl get sick and die

I very much want to be wrong, but I think this outbreak is going to get much, much worse. Attacks on healthcare workers, active conflict zone, porous borders, sub-optimal surveillance. A very bad combination.

long covid is hilarious because all the evidence we have says that it exists and not only does it exist but it’s extremely widespread and serious and yet we collectively refuse to acknowledge this reality because the bottom would fall out of the stock market if we did

Most organizations do not care if individuals get infected with SARS-CoV-2, nor how many times, nor the consequences. It's priced in. Wear an N95 and get boosted regularly to reduce your lifetime risk of cumulative infections.

A very deliberate choice was made to abandon the people & chase rapidly increasing record profits & prices until society collapses. Most communicable diseases are getting the Covid Treatment now. We are only 7 years in, Covid is still out of control, & it will get so much worse.

So, we couldn't install ventilation systems in schools, cinemas, office buildings, etc., while they were empty in 2020, but mid- nineteenth-century engineers could raise entire buildings and streets in downtown Chicago, by as much as 14 feet, in response to water-borne illnesses. – at Galway, Ireland

🎯 I’ve spoken to numerous researchers/scientists/immunologists -What I’ve learned is that
-there are NO good viruses
-there are good & bad bacteria
-the immune system is not a muscle
-a Virus doesn’t exercise it, it triggers it
& can confuse it & that’s bad
as many find out

“Researchers often compare it to Russian roulette: Any infection could be the one that leads to #LongCovid.
‘Every time there’s a wave, there’s another wave that’s going to follow with patients developing new onset long Covid’”— @VirusesImmunity
ALT NY TIMES Long Covid as Russian Roulette Doctors tend to be more concerned about the chance that someone will develop long Covid from repeated infections than they are that a person will get very sick in the acute phase of the illness. Covid can cause long-term damage to nearly every part of the body and repeated cases can compound those harms. A number of studies have shown that each time someone contracts Covid introduces an opportunity to develop long-term symptoms. Researchers often compare it to Russian roulette: Any infection could be the one that leads to long Covid. “Every time there’s a wave, there’s another wave that’s going to follow with patients developing new onset long Covid,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University.

Researchers warn that COVID reinfections are not risk-free, even when symptoms are mild.
Each infection brings another chance of developing Long COVID or worsening existing symptoms.
Less severe illness does not mean the virus is harmless.

🔥Peer-reviewed research (NEJM, Nature, etc.) shows COVID causes measurable IQ drops (3–9 points), accelerates Alzheimer’s pathology, and stacks organ damage with every reinfection.
Read the 🧵. Then repost it. Most people still treat this like a seasonal cold. The data clearly says otherwise!! #IWarnedYou
