Scout<p>My youngest kiddo (young adult) has tested positive for <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/COVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>COVID</span></a> for the first time. That’s right — she’s been so diligent about masking and vaxxing for 5+ years! She’s devastated because it’s right before her birthday. </p><p>What are the latest protocols?

emeritrix<p>I recently read Sherwin Nuland's The Doctors' Plague: Germs, Childbed Fever, and the Strange Story of Ignac Semmelweis (2003). </p><p>I had heard the basics--Semmelweis was the guy who figured out that doctors were causing childbed (puerperal) fever by poking their dirty hands into the vaginal canals of women whose babies they were helping ("helping") to deliver. But even though Semmelweis was right, no one wanted to listen to him, and it was decades before handwashing became routine in medicine, and poor Semmelweis died in a madhouse.</p><p>This story has circulated a lot since 2020, because of the obvious analogy of supposed experts refusing to accept that SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized, airborne, and that to prevent transmission it isn't enough to wash your hands (though that's still a good practice) or stand six feet apart or wear a baggy cloth or surgical mask. </p><p>Nuland's version confirms the summary, but the details are fascinating, and the story well told. </p><p>Doctors, of course, did not want to accept that they were actively killing their patients, even though women who delivered in the doctors' wards in the hospital were far, far more likely to die than those who delivered at home, or in the midwife wards, or even in the street on the way to the hospital. </p><p>There were tensions between different theories of disease (the prior explanations of childbed fever sound ridiculous now, but there were theories behind them, and institutional investments in those theories). Semmelweis was an outsider--a Hungarian in Vienna, a German speaker in Hungary. He was also impolitic, rude, and a bad writer. He failed to carry out experiments that would confirm his theory, and failed to engage with the hospital's microscopist to get a look at the 'cadaver particles' he speculated doctors were carrying from the autopsies they did in the mornings to the examinations and deliveries they did in the afternoons. He hated writing and didn't want to bother to publish his theory, so his opponents beat him into print with misrepresentations of his account. When he did finally write up his theory, the text was digressive, repetitive, bombastically phrased, and full of cranky attacks on his medical rivals (reminds me a little of Anthony Leonardi--correct on the science but tetchy with those who aren't on board). </p><p>Nuland speculates, based on available records including Semmelweis's autopsy, that he suffered early-onset Alzheimer’s, that he was badly beaten by attendants in the insane asylum where he spent his last weeks, and that as a result he died of sepsis--essentially the same disease he tried to save his patients from. </p><p>The work of Pasteur later provided the germ theory that supported Semmelweis's observations, and Joseph Lister developed theories and practices of antisepsis and asepsis. But even Lister, who was, in Nuland's account, a suave, classy, diligent scientist, who did repeated experiments to confirm his theories, and published and spoke about his work extensively and persuasively, still took about 20 years to win over the bulk of the medical profession. </p><p>Anyway, wash your hands, and wear a respirator. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CovidIsAirborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsAirborne</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SemmelweisWasRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SemmelweisWasRight</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaskUp</span></a></p>

RIt’s Not Too Late to Start Masking<br> Why?<br> Because medical racism exists. Because Black birthing people have high mortality rates. Because the bodily autonomy of Black people has been under attack for centuries. Because Environmental Racism exists. Because marginalized communities are at higher risk of acquiring Long Covid.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.</p><p>I will take the discomfort and the social side-eye of wearing a good <a href="https://beige.party/tags/mask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mask</span></a> any day over playing roulette with my future health. I drew that line almost 5 years ago and I'm still comfortable with it, because it is a choice that *I* made, not a choice that was forced upon me for "the economy."</p><p>I am neurodivergent and *very* uncomfortable having my breathing restricted or having something over my face. However, I'm waaaay more uncomfortable being sick, and am especially leery of the threat of adding more chronic illness to my pile of woes. </p><p>I had to acclimate to wearing a mask, yes, and I've had to try many different styles to find ones that work for me, especially since I often wear one all day for work. But once I made the determination that this is what I was going to do to protect myself and others, this is what I did.</p><p>Am I tired of it? Oh yeah, I'm very tired of it! Am I going to stop doing it? Hell no, I'm not going to stop doing it.</p><p>I know everybody's social and living and work situations are different, and that mine are unique. Most of the people I have talked to who no longer mask but who have asked me about my mask really seem to be asking for social permission to be able to wear a mask again. Apparently they need a reason to stand out and be weird, like me. </p><p>If "razor blade throat variant" is not enough of a reason, what is? If not being a plague rat infecting others unwittingly and unknowingly is not a good enough reason, what is? If avoiding long Covid is not a good enough reason, what is? If protecting vulnerable people both in and outside of your circle is not a good enough reason, what is?</p><p>It is OK to wear a mask again. I'm giving you social permission! 🪄💫</p><p>If people ask you, tell them that your friend Ari said it was a smart thing to do again and that you've now decided it's important to protect your health and the health of others. If anybody argues with you on that, they're not your friend. </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/MaskUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaskUp</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsNotOver</span></a></p>

Oliver Seiler<p>How to make an Aura mask MRI safe:<br>- carefully cut open top layer above aluminium strip and pry filter medium off<br>- insert 3d printed plastic replacement<br>- pull top layer filter medium back over it and sew close<br>- alternatively a strip of medic tape works similarly well<br>- remove staples and existing straps<br>- sew a couple of cloth bungee straps on instead<br>- enjoy more comfortable and better fit </p><p>I've also managed to pry the metal strip loose using long tweezers trough a smaller cut on both ends and remove it, which allows the plastic clip to be threaded in from the side and removes the need to sew close the long cut, but it's quite fiddly and easy to rip the thin top layer. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/wearAMask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wearAMask</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsNotOver</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/CleanAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CleanAir</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/maskUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maskUp</span></a></p>

A few months ago, one of the trends was showing everything you could do while wearing a mask. This, in principle, isn't a bad thing, but the problem is that the narrative and the phrases being used were that y"ou don't live in a cave when you wear a mask".</p><p>These kinds of phrases and trends erase those of us disabled who are forced to stay home, either because we are too disabled to go out, because we know we can't afford infections, or in general because of the inaccessibility of not wearing masks in public spaces.</p><p>In all communities and all movements, there are revolutionary and reactionary lines. There are people who call themselves COVID-conscious but have lack an anti-capitalist analysis of eugenics. And coincidentally, they are often the same people who don't focus on disability justice (they often simply name it but don't practice it). It could also be that a person simply made a mistake and fell into liberalism. Just as we know we're not immune to COVID, we're not immune to propaganda in general.</p><p>I have Crohn's disease, and since the beginning of the pandemic, I could do many things in my life.
