The same person also told both of us (wearing our masks) how they'd had Covid but recovered and were glad things are "better now" because so much mass mask wearing meant "children didn't learn how to smile." Wait, babies don't innately smile?! And what? Why were parents and children masking at home for dinner? What the fuck? What is wrong with these people? They work in the National Health Service! Another reminder that the NHS is not itself immune to misinformation, disinformation, or ideology either, for that matter. Masks work. Masks are good. Not enough people wear them. They are a weapon against Covid, and eugenics, and fascism. #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

Il COVID non è finito:
• Il 50% delle infezioni sono asintomatiche.

• Almeno il 10% delle infezioni provoca il long COVID.
• I vaccini non prevengono le reinfezioni, il contagio o il long COVID.
• Le reinfezioni ci distruggono. Non esiste un modo per “allenare” il sistema immunitario perché non è un muscolo. C'è un luogo comune secondo cui l'esposizione a germi nocivi rafforzi il sistema immunitario. Malattie virali come COVID, influenza e morbillo indeboliscono il sistema immunitario, lasciando il posto al rischio di danni duraturi. La realtà è che non si rafforza l'immunità con infezioni ripetute: i vaccini rafforzano il sistema immunitario insegnandogli a riconoscere i patogeni senza tutti i rischi. È fondamentale concentrarsi sulla prevenzione delle infezioni.
• Un test antigenico rapido può rilevare con successo solo circa il 60% delle infezioni sintomatiche precoci e circa il 22% delle infezioni asintomatiche. I test più accurati sono la PCR e i test molecolari.
• Il COVID si diffonde e si muove come il fumo di sigaretta: pensa alle persone che ti circondano e a te stesso come a persone che fumano tutto il giorno. Sarà più facile capire come si muove il COVID.
• Nelle infezioni sintomatiche, ci vogliono un paio di giorni prima che compaiano i sintomi, il che significa che si è infettati per almeno un paio di giorni senza saperlo. Sei contagioso al COVID da almeno 10 giorni.
thanks for @thecovidcollection I pick up the sources from a post of them!)

• Remember: covid is not over, 50% of infections are asymptomatic, minimum 10% of infections end up in long COVID, re-infections wreck us, COVID spreads and moves like cigarette smoke, think of the people around you and you as people who are all day smoking, it becomes more visual to understand how COVID moves.
• There is no way to “train” the immune system because it is not a muscle. there is a common misconception that exposure to harmful germs strengthens the immune system. viral diseases like COVID, flu, measles weaken the immune system, leaving the possibility of lasting damage. The reality is that you don't build your immunity with repeated infections, vaccines strengthen the immune system by teaching it to recognize pathogens without all the risks. Focusing on infection prevention is key.
• Rapid antigen tests give many false negatives.
• Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world.
• Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception. Any reminder of the existence of a highly-transmissible, highly-dangerous, mass-disabling disease could trigger panic, or worse: organized, militant labor action. Averting this crisis required a careful campaign of culture-crafting; the people themselves needed to become convinced that there was no reason to fight. Consent for protracted mass infection needed to be manufactured.

Capitalism repeatedly fosters a culture of insecurity and, literally, of sacrificing your life for capital. When people talk about workplace safety, road safety, or protection against infections like COVID, others often interpret your responsibility toward preventing harm as a form of fear or obsession.

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.
