This is why (Alt text for image slides in comments)

“It is never too late to start wearing a mask again if you stopped. It is never too late to upgrade your mask if you never stopped but are still wearing cloth or surgical masks. COVID is airborne. It disperses and lingers like smoke. Outdoor transmission is possible.

Covid has been shown to damage every organ system in the body, even if your acute infection is "mild" or asymptomatic. Anywhere between 10% to 20% of covid infections result in Long Covid, a debilitating, disabling condition with no approved treatments and no cure.

Covid increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's, and dementia. You can be contagious with Covid without symptoms and in the days between exposure and when you start showing symptoms. Vaccination does not stop covid transmission!

60% of U.S. Covid deaths are now comprised of people who've had at least the main vaccine series. The best thing you can do if you have already had covid is to avoid getting it again. The damage is cumulative. Wear a high-quality (KF94/kn95, n95, or better) mask.

Avoid crowds. Avoid indoor dining. Practice community care. For more information: @PeoplesCDC , @projectn95 , @itsbodypolitic Get involved: @seastillcares”

Here are the stills for folks to share:

I’m glad this is hitting for folks bc I do not really do comms, editing, graphic design, etc, & I invite those who DO to riff off this, plagiarize it, make it more accessible (e.g. I couldn’t figure out how to make the audio captions not conflict w/ the text).

I am not a “content creator” I am just a very desperate person trying to find more constructive ways to scream into the void!!
