LONG COVID CRASH COURSE 🎀:doomergirl:πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆ (a heckin video essay)

I am now getting constant breadtube adjacent youtube reccomendations :marseyyawn: :marseysleep:

I didn't even watch the video due to uh... capitalism. :derpwhy: Capitalism forced me to grill hotdogs outside for dinner instead of getting properly informed. :derpwhy: It was awful. But here's the longest comment on this long covid video:

what a roko's basilisk of a video. i knew that covid was not entirely gone and long covid was maybe a thing(?) but i kind of believe the general consensus that it isn't a big issue anymore. this has really opened my eyes to reasons to wear masks. but i don't want to! it's a bad sensory experience, nobody around me does, and i already struggle socially without the barrier of a mask and people not being able to see my face! i live with my parents and there's this huge barrier of not being able to test for covid when i'm sick without BEGGING them and i wear masks when sick but-- is it morally imperative i do all the time? i feel as though it is, i want to take action on this issue! but so much in me is resisting it i don't know if i have it in me to make the change :(

our QOL is so much better out of quarantine times... it is hard to advocate for going back

I will say that your take on MAID seems a little fear mongery, a very small percentage of people using it fall into the cases you use as examples, the majority are the traditionally expected terminal illnesses. i agree maybe MAID should be more strictly defined, legally though, because what you're describing as usages for MAID would seem golden in the eyes of capitalistic government

@LolaGerms Thank you being open to new information and really pondering this issue, that first step of not being in denial anymore is arguably the hardest one sometimes, so that's already a great start. I would advise you to wear a mask (as in a well-fitted respirator, check my other videos for more details on that), both for your health and safety, as well as to not contribute to more mass death/disabling events. Like others said here, you will thank yourself. Good luck!! And thank you for watching and leaving a comment


this is amazing πŸ₯Ή i'm gonna be sending this to everyone I know, especially those who think they are invincible. One of the most important lines: THE ONLY WAY TO NOT GET LONG COVID IS TO NOT GET COVID. WEAR A RESPIRATOR!! Lola has so many amazing videos on the types of respirators you can buy, how to fit test them, reusable ones and so many other resources. Please take care of your health, it's the only one you've got!! we all share the same air, let's make that air clean and safe to breath, we have the cowtools, we're already doing it with water. Like Lola said, "we just have to try".

@LolaGerms Thank you so much for watching! and YES, wear a respirator to protect your short and long-term health!!
