@matilija01 Hi! acunola.com/longcovid when it's back in stock probably Thursday or Friday
English
Hi. If you ordered DC Stim or LPI Cleanse and want to be in a group chat, say hello below. Thank you.

it is actually hilarious though that 3 hours ago they publish an article being like "these conspiracists quacks think the medical establishment has abandoned them" then 1 hour later they publish one saying "here's how the medical establishment has abandoned ppl with Long COVID"
English
also as many ppl have said, these losers got exactly what they wanted and they're still obsessed! public health infrastructure in shambles, no LC treatments, ppl w/out LC symptoms showing organ damage, millions suffering more than people like Dan could ever imagine, you won!
English
@julia_doubleday Yeah, been thinking a lot lately about the myth that people aren't getting Long COVID anymore, repeated even by people who have it. So many myths about LC are just psychological defense mechanisms that make people feel personally safe from it. Maintaining the separation is key.
English
Ppl are willing to feel bad for us, but not to offer solidarity. They are willing to believe that Covid hurt us but not that Covid could hurt them. They see us as sacrificial lambs whose illnesses somehow protect them- not as canaries in the coal mine whose words are a warning.

In my article for Zeteo last month, I talked this weird framing of “the pandemic isn’t over for ppl w long covid”. Ppl still get long covid every day. So the pandemic isn’t over for the ppl who will develop long covid tomorrow, but we don’t know who those ppl are…so…?

For patients living with long COVID, the pandemic is far from over, @rebeccanagle writes. But access to speciality clinics for treatment has only gotten patchier as attention to the disease has faded: theatlantic.com/health/archive…

@seedbread7 So actually I took this because my BeReal went off and didn’t realize the girl looked like Hannah until almost an entire year later but I agree with you 🙏
English
@twitchyspoonie No not at all, didn't seem that way! I just didn't expect that tweet to get any traction/probably should have added that part of the bigger picture myself.
English
@seedbread7 Oh yeah, I was just adding. Sorry if it seemed like I was disagreeing. Pretty out of it atm

Not only that, but a lot of the people who have technically survived up until now can't work like they used to. Many have all kinds of organ damage, new diseases, don't realize they're on a slow decline due to ME, have new covid induced mental health issues, etc
holly@seedbread7
it's unsurprising but pretty incredible that almost everyone has completely blocked out the "millions and millions of people have permanently died and are still dying" consequence of the pandemic, like in a very concrete sense people cannot metabolize that ongoing loss as real
English
@twitchyspoonie Yes absolutely! Wasn't trying to fully explain the phenomenon OP is talking about with deaths/excluding mass disability, just thinking about the mass death part of it all/collective grief
English
to the people closer to the drain you yourself are circling (not towards the OP, just everyone who thinks they can ignore all this).
English
@hashtagsophiaaa yes absolutely, there were some people who'd commented that under the post before I saw it!
English
@seedbread7 not to mention how many people became disabled because of repeat infections and now cannot work!

And that's a huge part of what mass-scale grief rituals do—remind us of those perspectives, make ppl actively think about those who haven't survived. On a small scale, COVID has been a taboo cause of death from the start, preventing those convos from happening in the 1st place.
English
Which seems obvious, but sometimes I imagine what it would be like if they could weigh in. What kind of world would we be in now if everyone knew they were accountable in their daily choices to those who this viruses has killed, if they could hear those perspectives right now?
