@JessicaLexicus Thank you for this. We store about 3 months food, water, but after two years of gardening on an acre, it’s really hard and full of regular failures. It rained way to much this summer in Vermont and messed up our garden. It can happen to anyone.

@CovidSolidarit1 I feel it’s their last desperate gasp since they are going to lose the narrative. More and more are going to get it. It’s not like those with Long Covid are just magically going to go away, right? Reality has a way of reasserting itself.

Was in a meeting today and the conversation drifted to how most doctors gain new knowledge. It wasn’t by reading journal articles. It was mostly by what they are seeing in their practice and what their other doctor friends are seeing and telling them. Then it drifted towards

@s0f0nisba It’s funny, but I keep running into us. Our family of 5 are novids. Several of the COVID aware twitter spaces are novids. I’d go in to participate in studies, but I’d bet they aren’t masking.
