Every "new wave" of Covid-19 is part of the perpetual wave of rampant contagion, mass illness, and excess mortality that has been deliberately allowed to continue since 2020. #COVID19
With Covid-19 currently rampant everywhere, a huge number of people are unknowingly carrying asymptomatic infections. Those people are not only suffering unseen damage to their own bodies, but are also passing their infections to everyone around them. #COVID19 #asymptomatic
How many more millions of people must perish from Covid-19, before the masses are finally willing to acknowledge that something extremely bad is happening? #COVID19 ourworldindata.org/grapher/exce...
The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has shown, quite definitively, that most people are irrational and reckless to an extreme degree: they have willingly accepted the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, paying no heed to the overt harm of repeated infections, mass illness, and excess mortality. #COVID19
As Covid-19 continues to spread without hindrance, causing increasing amounts of infection, illness, and mortality, the human community is falling deeper and deeper into a state of irrevocable decline. #COVID19
Israel is “managing” the famine in Gaza by targeting aid shipments while allowing some goods to reach local markets only if merchants pay the military an exorbitant fee. The system accomplishes two goals: engineering starvation and creating chaos. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/how-... #Palestine #Israel
The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has prompted people to display their true characters, for better or worse. (In most cases, for worse.)
In 2025, most people are not giving any thought to the life-threatening danger of Covid-19, but Covid-19 is still spreading, Covid-19 is still out of control, and Covid-19 is still causing irreparable harm with every infection. #COVID19
Days and weeks and months pass, with no action being taken to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19. Time is running out, and grievous instances of irreparable harm resulting from Covid-19 are steadily increasing, but negligence and denial continue to prevail. #COVID19
Unfortunately, Covid-19 is not going to wait patiently for the masses to wise up regarding the irreparable damage that results from repeated infections. With no safety measures currently being enforced, Covid-19 will not delay in taking full advantage of the situation. #COVID19
Patients being constantly exposed to Covid-19 in hospitals. Old people being constantly exposed to Covid-19 in care homes. Children being constantly exposed to Covid-19 in schools. Unmistakable evidence of gross negligence. The human community has clearly lost its moral bearings. #COVID19
Necessary actions of care and concern, such as wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, should not be regarded as being too much to ask of someone. In truth, wearing a respirator mask is the least that a person can do. #COVID19 #respirator
The stubborn mentality of careless denial that the masses are currently displaying in regard to Covid-19 constitutes one of the most extreme instances of collective delusion in human history, with most people acting as if they have entirely lost the ability to think in a rational manner. #COVID19
Most people have recklessly chosen to accept the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, and in doing so, they have surrendered to the harsh inevitability of repeated infections, mass illness, and excess mortality. #COVID19
The pandemic of Covid-19 represents capitalism at its worst: corporate priorities taking precedence over essential considerations of health and safety, resulting in policies of deliberate negligence, inevitably leading to an outcome of irreparable harm. #COVID19 #capitalism
How much of the deep, lasting harm that inevitably results from Covid-19 can a human body endure? How many repeated infections can a human body survive, before a final, fatal breakdown happens? #COVID19

Don't be a Covid Mary
People in #Gaza are being forced from their homes repeatedly amid ongoing bombardments and displacement orders by the State of Israel. The latest, on 26 August in Gaza City, affected tens of thousands. Humanitarian access must be restored, and the siege lifted to allow support for those in need.
People in #Gaza suffer while UNRWA’s lifesaving aid — food, medicine, shelter, hygiene supplies — has been blocked by Israeli Authorities. We can deliver at scale, across Gaza. The needs are huge. UNRWA aid saves lives. Lift the siege.
Unless governments and citizens fully accept the urgent necessity of enforcing tough, uncompromising measures to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, the collective outlook for the human community will be utterly hopeless, with no likelihood of long-term survival. #COVID19
I think part of the problem for me was that I had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for a number of years, and was accustomed to a fairly broad outlook on the world, but I found many of my Powell's co-workers to be rather narrow-minded (even though they regarded themselves as hipsters).
Carelessness and negligence are directly enabling the harmful spread of Covid-19. Every person who chooses to enter a public space without wearing a respirator mask is choosing to enable a malign cycle of rampant contagion, repeated infections, mass illness, and excess mortality. #COVID19
In all honesty, not particularly. I had already spent years working at Barnes & Noble and Borders, and I found that being employed at Powell's was not to my liking. As an employee, I actually preferred Barnes & Noble, but Powell's was unquestionably a wonderful store for customers who love books.
I saw them perform once, in 1999, and they were totally amazing. Michael Stipe was a one-of-a-kind performer.
I saw him once in Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon, where I used to work. Unfortunately, it was a busy, crowded Saturday afternoon (weekends were always frantic there), so I was unable to speak with him.
In their prime, R.E.M. was one of the truly great bands, with excellent songwriting that set them above their peers.
How can any rational person be unable to perceive that deliberately allowing a fatal airborne disease such as Covid-19 to spread freely, with no control whatsoever, must inevitably result in a grim outcome of unprecedented suffering for the entire human community? #COVID19
By foolishly denying the extreme danger of Covid-19, the masses are ensuring the likelihood of their own destruction. #COVID19
🤔
With Covid-19 rampant everywhere and no safety measures being enforced, the younger generation is living on borrowed time. #COVID19
Took a walk, made a friend. 🦉
No matter what abominable things Donald Trump might say or do, it could never induce me to forget that Joe Biden deliberately allowed Covid-19 to spread without any control and provided full support for Israel's genocide in Gaza. #Trump #Biden #COVID19 #genocide #Gaza
Scenes of chaos play out in Gaza City as military closes in on panic-stricken residents facing forced displacement.
Actually, they need to consider that their government (whoever it might be at any given time) is never honest with them about anything.

The world continues to allow Israel to carry out brazen, unrelenting actions of genocide in Gaza. #Israel #Gaza #genocide
We can accept the overt truth regarding Covid-19, or we can deny the overt truth regarding Covid-19, but either way, the overt truth remains the same: unless we enforce urgent measures to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, we will have little prospect of long-term survival. #COVID19
Covid-19 cannot be denied away. The more our leaders and the masses deny the harm being done by uncontrolled Covid-19, the more that harm will expand and deepen. #COVID19
The uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 is being enabled by both a lack of essential safety and a lack of essential morality. A glaring absence of caution and ethics, expressed in the heinous form of deliberate negligence, is relentlessly driving the progress of a life-threatening disease. #COVID19
Most people have chosen to dismiss the ongoing danger of Covid-19, but choosing to dismiss an ongoing danger does not actually make it less dangerous. #COVID19
Failing to wear a respirator mask in all public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 means failing to care about the collective well-being of the human community. #COVID19 #respirator
🎯
When our leaders chose to pursue a policy that deliberately allows Covid-19 to spread without any control, they chose to pursue a policy that amounts to mass homicide. #COVID19
The evil monsters who rule our world want you to surrender your well-being to the irreparable harm of uncontrolled Covid-19. They want you to abandon all caution, and submit to a perpetual cycle of repeated infections. Will you choose to comply, or will you choose to resist? #COVID19
For the sake of maintaining essential safety and avoiding irreparable harm, extreme caution in regard to Covid-19 should always be given precedence over comfort and convenience. #COVID19
It is unquestionably dangerous, and unquestionably wrong, to allow children to be constantly exposed to Covid-19. #COVID19 #children
Started my day with some disappointing art-related news, so I'm chasing away the "Monday Mehs" by working on a calming crane watercolor and pen piece. We all have our ways of coping, right? 🙃 Have a safe and healthy Labor Day, all. 💕

You are on the right track, but a short lockdown would probably not be enough to keep Covid-19 under an acceptable degree of permanent control. To achieve such control, it would be necessary to maintain longstanding measures of public safety, requiring a serious change in our current way of life.

Leading genocide scholars formally declare that Israel’s war on Gaza meets the UN’s definition of genocide.
Millions and millions of people are currently going through the busy motions of day-to-day life, pursuing all their usual activities and pretending that everything is "normal," while carelessly allowing their bodies to be destroyed by repeated infections of uncontrolled Covid-19. #COVID19
At least 78 Palestinians, including 32 aid seekers, have been killed since dawn as Israel intensifies attacks on Gaza City, aiming to seize the largest urban centre and forcibly displace around one million Palestinians to concentration zones in the south aje.io/7hkxxi
How could anyone in the US believe that the pandemic of Covid-19 is anything other than fiercely ongoing? #COVID19
Those who truly understand the deep, life-threatening harm of Covid-19 will follow whatever safety measures are necessary to avoid infection, beginning with wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces. #COVID19 #respirator
Believing that the pandemic of Covid-19 is over is as wrong and as foolish as believing that the Earth is flat. #COVID19
Covid-19 has not gone away, and under current conditions of unrestrained contagion, enabled by deliberate negligence, it will never go away. #COVID19
The pandemic of Covid-19 will continue to happen until necessary action is taken to stop it from happening. #COVID19
Most people have decided that we all must "live with Covid," but they are clinging to a dangerous fallacy. In truth, we cannot "live with Covid," because Covid-19 is a relentless destroyer of human lives. #COVID19

Polls consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/in-i... #Palestine #Israel
Once teeming and crowded with residential buildings, Gaza City is home to one million now facing forcible displacement.
Covid-19 allows us only two choices: we can take action and do whatever needs to be done to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, or we can recklessly continue with current policies of deliberate negligence and perish in an ongoing holocaust of overwhelming disease. #COVID19
Covid-19 continues to be out of control, causing irreparable harm everywhere, because most people are stubbornly unwilling to do what is necessary to stop it from being out of control. #COVID19
I am utterly amazed that so many people can all be suffering from the same reckless delusion at the same time, all of them foolishly believing that they can deny the ongoing danger of Covid-19 and dispense with necessary caution, but still survive in the long term. #COVID19
Upwards of 27 million human lives have been lost to uncontrolled Covid-19 since 2020, and millions more are likely to be lost in the coming years, but few people appear to be perturbed. It seems that care and concern have been entirely abandoned, giving way to unrepentant callousness. #COVID19
Most people are heedlessly going about their usual business, pretending that Covid-19 is not an extreme danger. Pretending that rampant contagion, repeated infections, mass illness, and excess mortality are not happening. Pretending that the human community has a long-term future. #COVID19
Covid-19 is airborne, Covid-19 is everywhere, and Covid-19 is potentially fatal. Any person not wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces is asking to be infected. #COVID19 #respirator
The hypocrisy dance around the stark reality that we are still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic hurts my brain and soul. When someone says one thing ("I follow the prinicle of nonharming"), with contrary actions (no acknowledgment of Covid-19, no mask, etc.), they lose all moral credibility.
Wear an N95 respirator mask in all situations of potential covid-19 contagion. Any rational person should understand why it is necessary at this point. It has been nearly 6 years. It is not complicated.
Trying to avoid the life-threatening harm of uncontrolled Covid-19 in a world filled with negligence and denial is a difficult task, likely to become even more difficult as the situation inevitably worsens, but for any person who is fully rational, it is a task of absolute necessity. #COVID19
All human institutions, from government to science to medicine to education to religion to media, have failed to preserve human ethics during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19. All institutions have conspired to promote the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19. All deserve to be condemned. #Covid19
The deliberate negligence shown by our leaders during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has proven their utter lack of concern for our collective well-being. In their eyes, we are fully expendable. They have ruthlessly abandoned us to a fate of unrestrained disease and overwhelming harm. #COVID19
Most people prefer to have no awareness regarding Covid-19. Having no awareness results in having no understanding, and having no understanding results in heedlessly accepting the lasting damage caused by repeated infections. #COVID19
Covid-19 is an airborne disease currently spreading out of control, which means that every intake of breath enables the likelihood of infection. To avoid the life-threatening harm of Covid-19, it is necessary to prevent infection by wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces. #COVID19
Merely encouraging people to wear respirator masks during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is not enough. As a matter of essential safety, respirator masks should be required in all public spaces. For the sake of the common good, the reckless masses must be forced to do what is necessary. #COVID19
One of the "disadvantages" of being old is that in regard to politics and elections, I have seen it all before, too many times: the same cycle of deceit, delusion, and compromise, repeated over and over, with foolish citizens always imagining that "this time" it will somehow turn out differently.
Wear a fucking mask people. I’m so sick of your ignorance. It’s willful. Get on the boat or you’re going to drown. And this is the last lifeboat. There’s room for all, because it’s an analogy… but you’re really just drowning yourself if you don’t reach for the line we’ve been throwing you.

Palestinian families are forced from their homes as Israel intensifies its deadly attacks in push to seize Gaza City.
AI is being allowed to spread without control in the same deliberate manner that Covid-19 has been allowed to spread without control. #AI #COVID19
🍵😶 ... we are still in an active #SARSCoV2 pandemic which is still maiming & killing men, women, & children in the u.s., we've body counts in the millions & those counts are still growing - & not a single one of your fav politicians has a word to say abt it, as they hit you up for money & votes,,
Denial of the extreme harm being caused by the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 runs deep, even among many of those who regard themselves as "Covid cautious."
Nearly everyone fails to grasp that the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is far worse than it appears to be. Much of the damage is hidden, because instances of infection, illness, and mortality are not being honestly reported. When the final reckoning comes, most people will be unprepared. #COVID19
The irreparable harm of Covid-19 cannot be diminished by denial and delusion. No matter how many foolish lies the masses choose to tell themselves, Covid-19 will continue to be a life-threatening danger to every human being. #COVID19
Every moment brings more infections of Covid-19, and every infection of Covid-19 brings more damage to our collective well-being. As the damage steadily increases, infection by infection, and our collective well-being steadily weakens, we are moving closer and closer to a final reckoning. #COVID19
Denying that the pandemic of Covid-19 is still ongoing, and is still causing grievous harm to many millions of people, will not return us to life as it was before Covid-19 appeared. Denial will only make our current situation more difficult and more dangerous. #COVID19
The world of 2019 is long gone. It is the 6th year of co-existing with the ubiquitous, unseen SARS-coV-2 virus. It is not going anywhere. I've found that the most practical way to cope is by acknowledging the reality & adapting accordingly. The only way out is through, as the saying goes. 😷🫶
Americans who express dismay at Trump's destruction of public health in the US, but refuse to wear respirator masks in public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, do not deserve to be taken seriously. #Trump #COVID19 #pandemic

The Israeli Authorities’ ban on UNRWA’s humanitarian aid into #Gaza must be lifted. Our warehouses in Egypt and Jordan are stocked, ready to fill around 6,000 trucks. UNRWA has the system in place to distribute aid safely and at scale. Let us take in our life-saving supplies by road. #UNRWAworks
In #Gaza, “health staff, journalists and humanitarian workers have been killed at a scale never seen in any other conflict in recent history. All is happening with impunity. It’s time for action, courage and political will to end this hell on earth.” — UNRWA Commissioner-General
To avoid being infected during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, it is necessary to wear a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion, without fail. It is a straightforward choice between caution and carelessness, with carelessness inevitably resulting in a bad outcome. #COVID19
I don't understand the illogic of masking in a public setting "most of the time." Covid doesn't care about intentions or how "good" we are. This is not a game, and there is no bargaining with a virus. If you wear a mask, WEAR the mask.

Because asymptomatic infections of Covid-19 are common, a huge number of people do not know that they have been repeatedly infected with a disease that is potentially fatal. #COVID19 #asymptomatic
