I am highly tempted to borrow from the French COVID cautious sphere's usage of the term #AutodéfenseSanitaire because honestly trying to avoid a plague in 2024 really does feel like employing #SanitarySelfDefense strategies — right down to facing down growing hostility from the public at large towards your very existence.
Assume the risk is high because no one tests anymore and COVID definitely hasn't gone away, then just always wear a K/N95, FFP2, or better respirator — whichever seals best on your face!
🔥️ On the subject of a hashtag I sort of cheekily added to that post…
Petition to kick off a #CovidIsPreventable hashtag because that should really be the core message of all this. People have shut out COVID talk not because they think it's over (they know it's probably not — everyone's sicker than ever) but because they feel powerless to do anything.
