Remember that polio's overwhelmingly predominant symptom was diarrhea.

We don't remember polio nowadays, only longpolio.

Abled folks: you would do well to understand that most chronically ill people are way more afraid of long Covid than of any other aspect of this pandemic, and why we are so afraid.

(It's not just the illness; it's how you will be abandoned by society once you have it.)

Just texting w/ my mother who mentioned maybe hearing about something called long covid and dear gods if that wasn't infuriatingly revealing about the level of messaging and awareness that exists outside disability spaces.

This is one of the reasons I think it’s important to recognize that emotional regulation is a learned skill, not a quasi-moral attribute

@EmilyDWarfield ("EDW") wrote:

Took me way too many years to realize that the scariest people aren’t the ones who yell when they’re mad but the ones who will repeatedly hurt you while maintaining perfect emotional regulation, so that you’re the crazy one if you show any visible distress

This is worth pausing and thinking about for a sec. Companies currently treat workers like garbage to get us packages 24 hours faster and we need to resist that, collectively.

@travisthetechie ("Travis Smith") wrote:

Except if you’re one of the 30%+ who develop LongCovid and require a positive test to get support.

Like, I agree folks shouldn’t be exposing others, but out healthcare system is so broken that you *need* records of a positive test if you want help because you are now disabled.

REMINDER

If you have symptoms and a positive home test, YOU HAVE COVID

IMO there is NO REASON to go and get a PCR test somewhere

I realize your positive won't be counted in the state totals

But I'd rather you not go out and expose others

Greetings! Gleefully advocating for the state to lock someone in a tiny cell for twenty years is not “non-violent,” and it’s not “self control.” It’s sanitized, state-sponsored violence demanded by an angry mob.

@danielahorwitz Wow, today I learned that advocating non-violence and self control is sociopathic. Someone needs a break from Twitter.

This is, I guess, at least honest about the fact that they think the wrong people voting is what counts as stealing an election.

How to steal an election: “Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results.”

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

CDC’s new guidance to drop isolation of positives to 5 days without a negative test is reckless

Some ppl stay infectious 3 days,Some 12

I absolutely don’t want to sit next to someone who turned Pos 5 days ago and hasnt tested Neg

Test Neg to leave isolation early is just smart
