@circlestarSC @drseanmullen For my required licensing pics/background cks, I hold my breath, pull N95 down around my neck (to proudly show I wear one!), exhale into it, then refit. I think of @michael_hoerger the whole time (for his great data/maps!)😆 Pics w/friends? Proudly wear it!!! (Silly spouse!)

@drseanmullen Well said, and you are so right. Today someone asked if I was going to be in the photos, then said, "never mind, you will just be wearing a mask anyway." My spouse....

Ableism and denial are driving the push for “no more sick leave” policies. Ironically, those same attitudes will eventually erode the very reality they’re trying to preserve. It happens one infection at a time. If you’ve ever wondered why so many scientists who understand the risks don’t publicly mask, consider the incentives. They know they’re not immune. But prevention doesn’t earn the same rewards as fitting in. TV appearances. International keynote invitations. Institutional promotions. Leadership positions. Grants. Awards. Interviews. The people pushing prevention often receive the opposite treatment. They’re left out of institutional videos. Passed over for visibility. Quietly moved to the back of the line. That’s what happens when a culture rewards managing the consequences more than preventing the harm.

@mryoung151 Often prolonged, if not treated. Sulfa or cipro, post 3 "donations." w/O&P labs often/infamously wrong. Assumed after "-"? Many don't read news re: a produce contagion. Remember shunning fresh spinach in salads (pre-Pandemic)? I think that one was a biggie baddie E. coli scourge!

@meg_texas I am so glad you are better. I know 3 people about 4 months ago with the same symptoms and it took them ages to get over it.

A microscopic intestinal parasite has sickened 145 people across 17 states since May 1, 2026, and federal investigators have not yet identified the food source. What Is Cyclosporiasis? Cyclosporiasis is a form of food poisoning you get from the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis(C. cayetanensis or Cyclospora). Symptoms usually start within a week of ingesting the parasite. The main symptom is watery diarrhea. But it can also cause other stomach problems, which may take a long time to go away.

@drseanmullen The corrosive effects of anti-DEI purge. Disability is now a dirty word! Now, discounting common sense sick leave. Ill? So what? Minor league. "Spread that joy! Come in and work anyway." What Office of Civil Rights?!? For even proven disability. Illness...meh. A true travesty.

@mryoung151 Yep. Better. I NEVER get tummy anything. Produce: suspected route. Lo-o-o-ong time for symptom show AND treatment. LC/age: reality, but hydrate. Electrolytes: for sure, magnesium w/calcium, too. Don't want to celebrate 1-yr anniversary of full body tetany! Heat stroke, last year!

@meg_texas Are you talking about you? Are you okay? Electrolytes are the key and rice

@CFVertigo76 @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy That the highest level of education you attained? How does that relate to a fake PhD? You don't know what a real PhD involves, do you? My aunt, born in 1908, attained an 8th grade education. Lovely lady I'm blessed by my schooling (accredited). Some understand that important term

@meg_texas @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy I went to elementary school at a school that no longer operates. But it was during the 20th century. Does that make my elementary school years worthless?

Spotted a woman inside Trader Joe’s wearing a mask. Stepped outside to load my groceries and there she was, mask on in 100° weather with nobody else around. At this point, it has to be a mental illness, would you agree?

@CFVertigo76 @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy Many died from Covid as it tore thru SNFs in the first year. Staff, residents, patients. I always advise clients, friends and family: Stay away from these places, if at all possible. My most intense consulting is re: people compromised & still in SNF "care" Many don't know regs

@meg_texas @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy I have known of people who suffered from neglect and even died during lockdowns in 2020. Plus poor care in hospitals.

@CFVertigo76 @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy Why in the world would you ask that? Odd question. Are you speaking of neglect or otherwise?!? Have you? Surprising to some SNF rapes occur as does elder abuse. Vulnerable disabled people live in SNFs .: predators. PE has made things MUCH worse. Why I prefer geriatric consulting.

@meg_texas @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy So gerontologists basically work with the elderly. What makes you qualified for this position? Have you ever committed misconduct against the elderly? I know a person who was murdered in a nursing home in 2020.

@CFVertigo76 @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy I suppose that a graduate degree in gerontology could be posted. A graduate degree in that subject is required for the title. My 2nd graduate degree. I have several degrees as well as healthcare-associated licenses. I just don't think it's necessary posting on X. Your point?

@meg_texas @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy So you are a Gerontologist? Why don't you post your degree then.

@CFVertigo76 @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy I'm also variously licensed. Skilled nursing "care" lack-of-quality/infection control quickly had me use my knowledge of elder needs/insurance/care to help elders stay away from SNFs, if at all possible. I've called SNFs "the killing field" long before SC2! PE has made it worse!

@drseanmullen Numbers will catch up faster than we realize. The math ain't mathin'. And "we" (human beings) can only argue so long before Long Covid show us all. Being math deficient definitely not a good immune response. Thank you, @michael_hoerger, for being our number whisperer, writ large!

The pressure campaigns to silence anyone speaking out about Covid and Climate Change are going to be working overtime from now on… until those in denial are no longer, or the entities funding them are destroyed & discredited to the point that they’re no longer effective.

Indicator of high covid levels. Today I saw a mask on a server in the drive thru. This, before I read @michael_hoerger's summary on individual areas w/high rates of covid. Mask @ same drive thru last time covid levels high, here. I decant, hot drinks only. I mask at drive thrus!

@AussiePunter32 I have such fond memories of the Bicentennial. Each state sent performers to the Kennedy to showcase their composers and playwrights. Fireworks for nights on end. So many events. Truly, a birthday party for Americans. It had been planned for 4 years, across 2 administrations.

Incredibly damning if true and one of Trump’s most heinous narcissistic crimes to steal and destroy a celebration of everything that’s good in America and try to make it all about him😢

@bdod70 @DawnsMission @GigaBeers "Dumbest shit ever"...someone who doesn't call out Lil Dawn with her fake PhD in "sexology" Did you not check out her website & total lack of credentials? Probably not, since you have🚫knowledge re: the physics of why masks, esp N95s, actual work & why they're necessary for many

@DawnsMission @GigaBeers She’s Asian, I live in California and the Asians around here many of them still wear the masks. Dumbest shit ever!

@3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy Frankly, she needs to be criminally investigated for sexual predation. Bet there are victims! I can only imagine what a sicko like her does to her "patients!" Her website is seeking even more gullible types who see PhD & don't bother checking that this sociopath has🚫credentials!

@DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy Your source for all things immune related lmao. Snake oil saleswoman.

@kush_patel94931 @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy She bought her fake PhD in "sexology" from an unaccredited school Probably a sociopath No telling who she's predated! Needs to be criminally investigated!! Her website, Lil Dawn's mission: fool even more gullible political types that she knows something re: subjects she knows 🚫

@DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy You're name on Twitter says doctor and your profile says Health Freedom Advocate. Enough said. Also you have 0 clue how viruses and bacteria spread

@CFVertigo76 @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy But it may very well be a crime to pretend you are a "sexologist" with a fake degree from an unaccredited, now-closed school. Authorities need to investigate this sociopath: possible sexual predation! Her website? Lil Dawn gives opinions re: more in which she has 🚫 credentials.

@3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy It's not a crime to post a picture on social media.

@DebHissy @3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy She bought a fake PhD in "sexology" from an unaccredited "school," now closed. She's a predator, enjoying manipulating the vulnerable that read PhD & not noticing it is a PhD in predation! May have assaulted her "patients!" Needs to be seriously investigated by authorities!

@3740616569_j @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy Do you know she is a relationship therapist and sex therapist? I guess that means she thinks she is a medical specialist in all things.

@gbunny @DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy She bought a "PhD in "sexology" from a fake school She's a predator who, like most sociopaths, enjoys manipulating people w/false credentials. Her website: full of "opinions" about topics she knows nothing about. A true predator. Sexually, first, now whatever people will fall for

@DawnsMission @MelissaRNMBA @NowPammsy You are not a doctor & have the scientific training of a turnip. As such, you are not the arbiter of what is or isn’t safe for her. Neither is anyone else, since it is none of our business!

@DissentFu @DawnsMission She bought a fake PhD in "sexology," using it to do much worse. Taking pics of & panning wiser people is a comparably minor act by this predator Her website shows expansion into new areas about which she has zero expertise. She's found an easy-to-fool political group to prey upon

@DawnsMission Spotted awoman being a creep and taking a picture of another woman without her consent or knowledge and posting it online today. Really gross to watch a woman put another women in danger just so she can feel superior.
