#CovidIsNotOver

I had some woman who was accompanying an elderly patient at the hospital I work at look at me and say "why are you wearing a mask? Is there a virus or something?"
I couldn't believe it so I said, "yes, it's called COVID-19".
She then asked for a mask and wore it.

Are people really this unaware and unable to assess risk and make decisions for themselves?

🇺🇸 USA: 5 years into the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, 67% of New Yorkers say they or a family member have had the virus, 37% have had it more than once, and 36% report losing a close friend or family member to the disease.

excerpts:

CO₂ levels in indoor air may significantly affect how long viruses survive once airborne. . . .

Outdoor CO₂ levels are around 421ppm, but in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces, indoor levels can easily exceed 800ppm. That’s the tipping point identified in the study, where the air starts allowing droplets to maintain a lower pH, increasing the survival time of viruses. . . .

Looking ahead, climate projections estimate CO₂ levels could reach 685ppm by 2050, making this issue not only one of pandemic response but also of climate and public health policy. If we don’t address this now, we may be heading into a future where viruses survive longer in the air due to everyday indoor conditions.

Well. 13 hours after getting a flu jab in one arm and COVID booster in the other arm, I am experiencing all over tingling deep in all my muscles, and I’m shivering with cold. I suspect this is my body’s version of the standard “muscle aches and fever”. Which is fine, it’s not painful and it’ll have passed by morning. And massively better than catching either virus and spreading it to others in my community.

Here's a screen-viewable copy of The Pandemic Never Ended: Safety for Harm Reductionists and lovers: online.fliphtml5.com/uppam/pky

It's presented as an animated book you flip through, and there's no option I can see to download a print-version of it.

Someone has created a PDF* from this flip-through version, which is good to have, but the PDF has (somewhat distracting) shading at the edges of the pages because of the filp-through-a-"book" interface that it comes from.

It would be really awesome to have a print-quality version of this to distribute. Any ideas of how we could access one?

Boosts appreciated for reach! 🖤🖤🖤

* There's a link to the PDF and the screen-viewable copy in this zine directory: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d from here: Mask Bloc Seattle Covid Safety Printables/Resources directory: drive.google.com/drive/folders (go to Printables by Other Groups > Zines)

Does anyone know of a PRINT-QUALITY version of this Covid safety tri-fold brochure, or how to contact the creators?

It's called:

The Pandemic Never Ended: Safety for Harm Reductionists and lovers.

And it's credited to:

"The Big Gay Guide of How Not to Die" and "Scrap Yard"

The mask bloc I organize with is sourcing Covid zines/etc to distribute at the Upstate Anarchist Book Fair in a couple of weeks, and I'd love to have this one as an option, especially if we can source a print-quality version.

If you know of one, or how to contact the creators, please let me know!

Phase Two of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19 is accepting submissions until 27 April. We know, this phase was initiated to appease the NZ First voters. Even if you've made a submission to Phase One, please make another submission to shift the balance:
