COVID-19 Resources

In the sixth year of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and government public health institutions prioritizing profit over human lives, it is imperative that we all take COVID infections seriously, educate ourselves and each other, and practice collective safety.

COVID is an airborne virus that moves and hangs in the air like smoke for up to hours at a time in closed, unventilated rooms. Repeat COVID infections can drastically increase the risk of Long COVID, an umbrella diagnosis for the 200+ symptoms and post-viral chronic conditions that can severely disable anyone following an acute infection, regardless of age or former ability. Two-way masking with high-filtration, well-fitted masks currently remains the most effective way of preventing exposure, infection, and transmission, and its effectiveness is strengthened by vaccination and air filtration.

My personal praxis involves taking a multilayered and harm reductionist approach to COVID safety and precautions. This includes combinations of masking (KN95+) in all public indoor spaces, air ventilation and filtration, vaccinations, testing, communicating exposure risks before gathering with friends and family, contact tracing, avoiding high-risk people and places, and reducing non-essential activities.

The following resources are based on community-led research, lived experience, and advocacy to resist COVID misinformation and mass death and disablement. You can also research COVID-safe(r) communities and clean air organizations local to you.
