Also, our colours would be the teal and grey from the Long Covid awareness ribbon and it would be strongly encouraged to decorate respirators with those colours — without compromising fit or filtration, please and thank you.https://www.longcovidawareness.life/

Since the first vaccine-era variant, pretty much every state of Covid summary article has spun up some variation of “Covid is milder now, so even when you catch it, you won’t immediately die or need the hospital. Keep getting vaxxed when it’s convenient for you.” And then they would reluctantly lay out some of the issues brought on by infections, framing them as things that happen to ~vulnerable people~ and ignoring that every infection shifts more folks into the vulnerable people category.

It's 2026 A.D. why are you still using Formerly Twitter and sourcing it as if it is a sound, legitimate platform to continue referencing and posting on. Who do you think you are reaching and is that very small choir you're preaching to worth the martyr vibes you're putting out.

Somewhere I still have a tweet saved that says "We've tried everything from pretending it wasn't happening to pretending it was over."

@thatkatharine From the article:"Historically, he said, the employer aimed to meet 80 per cent of each airport tower’s minimum staffing requirements and make up the shortfall by having controllers work overtime."So besides people being sickened by Covid, it seems like the usual story of not being able to find people willing to accept the working conditions and pay being offered. Hard to have any sympathy for the industry. I most especially wouldn't have sympathy if they tried to make up for it by hiring temporary foreign workers who have fewer rights (as has been done across service industries).
