Hey men who enjoy sex! MASK UP TO KEEP IT UP!
If taking a soccer ball to the crotch had 1/5 odds of long term erectile dysfunction (ED) would you wear a cup when you play soccer?

20% of men in this study got NEW ED - and only 1/4 "got their mojo back" after two years.
To all those who continue to #mask , and just generally give a shit...

Remember: It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it (Whoa, whoa)
You'd think people would want to know if there was a disease that killed more Americans than all our wars combined and is still killing, that causes long-term illness at yearly rates higher than all cancers combined, that all are at risk for, but that all could take actions to prevent. You'd think they want to protect themselves and their families. You'd think that this would be the #1 world priority. It is for me.

Shot (article subhead): Oklahoma says the cases ‘don’t pose a public health risk.’”
Chaser (from the article itself)
“In the latest data, only 88 percent of Oklahoma's kindergartners were up, significantly below the 95 percent target to prevent community spread.”
My MMR titers are all in the immune range. Earlier today I texted our GP to get the hub’s titers checked cuz .

Five years ago today, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Since then, much of the world has moved on—but COVID hasn’t disappeared.
People are still getting sick, hospitals still see surges, and Long COVID continues to disrupt lives. The good news? We still have the power to protect ourselves and our communities.

Our family notary has also suffered due to #LongCovid He’s not the same.

Generally speaking, it's easy to differentiate the clout-chasing, performative activists who desperately want to be *seen* "doing good", from the real deal who do it just because they want to do good. The latter wear masks. #intersectionality #AntiAbleism #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver
Traveled to the Midwest this week, and I’m definitely feeling like the lone-masker.
Still, the number of people in the last 2 days who’ve said “you’re smart for wearing that”, when referencing the Darth Vader kn94s I’m rocking, is encouraging.
However, I’m puzzled as to why no one else seems to want to join me in the big brain club.
For the #CovidIsNotOver crowd in Southern #England / #Cymru #Wales (or farther afield in #Britain #UK I suppose, if you can manage) -- there is a 'Spoonie Rave' happening in Bristol on 6 April.
FFP2 or better masks required. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Are ReadiMasks really as effective as 3M Auras? Feel like I can breathe much more easily through the former, which makes me suspicious about their filtration power/leaks.

"Through it all, governments and media grasped for any explanation that did not feature the collapse of public health and introduction of a novel virus that harms immune systems."

"Five years after the start of the worst health crisis in living memory, there is a national conversation waiting to be had about the roles of the individual, society and the state in such a crisis. What is my responsibility to myself and to my community, and what is the responsibility of the state towards us? At each level there is room for improvement, but we’re not addressing it. Let’s hope we can have that conversation before we’re tested again, but first the more strident – and misguided – voices have to pipe down."
