“Those of us who've lost loved ones to Covid-19 remain forever indebted to nurses and health care workers who courageously cared for our dying family members and continue to save countless lives. Our responsibility is to prioritize their well-being, prevent further Covid-19-related suffering, and protect families from the anguish of loss and Long Covid."

"It is therefore with great hope that I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency."

"The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that COVID-19 is nothing to worry about."

"Today, Long COVID sufferers must navigate healthcare resources on their own. Many don’t know where to go or whom to call; triaging their symptoms and ensuring they find the right physician specialty is very complex. Further, there are no established treatment standards for Long COVID. This reality means that patients are desperate for the care they need. We must act now to help them."

On a deep purple background, pink text reads, in all caps, “SHARE YOUR STORY WITH…” Then, in yellow text, “...#KeepThePHE.” Below that, pink and white text reads, “How would you be impacted if the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency ended? What kinds of care and resources would you lose? Why do you want to #KeepThePHE?” At the bottom is “@PeoplesCDC” in pink with a light purple PeoplesCDC logo in the bottom right hand corner.

actionnetwork.orgMaintain healthcare coverage , we need robust public health infrastructure. 2700 deaths in the US alone from COVID in one week is an emergency. More than 23 million suffering from Long COVID is an emergency. So is 45% of COVID cases – including in children – leading to lingering symptoms. Pediatric hospitals overwhelmed by RSV, Flu and COVID is an emergency. Rationing healthcare capacity – invoking crisis standards of care – three years into a pandemic, instead of creating a robust public health infrastructure? President Biden and Members of Congress, our Elected Representatives, Three years into the COVID-19 pandemic, we need you to treat the pandemic like the ongoing public health emergency it is. We need you to embrace a comprehensive approach to public health based on layers of protection and public policies aimed at protecting the most vulnerable people among us. We need you to make the following things happen: Maintain the State of Emergency Renew Congressional funding for the pandemic response Make public health policies including masking based on the CDC’s Community Transmission Map, and retire the misleading Community Levels Map Support and promote a layered approach to the pandemic including: Free, fast accessible PCR testing for all Free access to N-95 grade masks for all Free access to updated treatments for all Booster access for all Funding for accelerated next generation and nasal vaccines Paid sick leave Clear and science-based quarantine and isolation policies Funding for air ventilation and filtration upgrades in all public buildings Funding for Long COVID treatments, and research led by Long COVID patients More than COVID 250,000 deaths in 2022 – the third year of the pandemic – is an emergency. We have the tools to prevent more unnecessary severe and chronic illness and death. In 2023, let’s use them.

I'm thinking the whole apathy, and disregard and exclusion of vulnerable communities thing is an indicator of why the climate is certain to collapse and humanity is doomed.

If we can't count on empathy and concern for the lives of others during a pandemic, how can we expect our neighbors to set aside damaging gratifications in the interest of a habitable planet? theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #COVID19 #COVID #LongCOVID #CommuniyTransmission #Pandemic #SeeYouSafer #PublicHealthEmergency @socialwork

kolektiva.socialPeople's CDC (@PeoplesCDC@kolektiva.social)Transcript: Public Health for the People Zoey Thill, MD, MPH, MPP The CDCs pastel green map creates the false impression that the pandemic is over. Welcome to Public Health for the People by the People’s CDC This is a Covid map from today. This is also a Covid map from today. How does this happen? And which map is useful to you… a person who does not want to get or spread Covid. This map – which is almost entirely red – represents COVID transmission per capita. The CDC creates this map by gathering COVID case numbers from local health departments. As you can see— this red hot map means lots of COVID cases. It shows that we are in a surge and that you may be pretty likely to get and/or spread Covid, especially if you’re not using any layers of protections. But even this map *under represents* current Covid transmission. When Congress failed to renew COVID funding this past March, they withdrew financial support for uninsured people to easily access free tests. and forced many community testing centers to close. So fewer ppl are testing, and now, those who are testing, are frequently using at-home rapid tests, which are almost never reported to health departments. This means, things are actually somehow *even* worse than this ALL RED MAP suggests. The CDC introduced *this* pastel “community levels” map in February. It’s the map they use on their website and on social media. This pastel map looks like we’re in the clear, and maybe the pandemic is over. It’s not. This map is based on calculations that they claim will let us know when COVID is overwhelming our health systems. So Instead of telling you if you are likely to get or spread Covid, this map tells you whether you could access a hospital bed, should you need it. The problem is, that by the time this map turns pastel orange, it’s already too late to prevent tragic and avoidable deaths, chronic illness and disability from Long COVID. At The People’s CDC, we want you to know that the community levels map masks the state of the pandemic. It pretends that COVID transmission doesn’t matter. It pretends that it’s ok for people to continue dying. And it pretends that it’s okay for people to keep getting sick - even though the CDC itself acknowledges 1 in 5 COVID cases leads to Long Covid. We know that the impacts of COVID and the collective trauma it has caused has fallen disproportionately on certain communities: older, disabled, poor and working class, Black, Indigenous and people of color —and these communities will continue to suffer the greatest impacts of COVID-19. Find your community transmission map, and plan accordingly: Protect yourselves and your community by wearing an N95-grade mask, avoiding crowded indoor spaces, using a hepa filter, opening windows and taking activities outside, getting tested, vaccinated and boosted and demand COVID funding and a comprehensive public health approach to ending the COVID-19 pandemic.

The state is failing. It is up to us to protect each other, while advocating for public health protections that protect especially the most vulnerable. We cannot accept mass infection, chronic illness, and death.

Guidelines for keeping each other safer if gathering in-person during the ongoing #COVID19 #Pandemic.

On a warm-toned gradient background, bold white text reads, “Protecting only ourselves is insufficient. Protecting each other is urgent.” Below, three illustrated figures stand next to each other all wearing masks. A Mauve band overlaid on the figures reads “#SeeYouSafer” in bold white text. Smaller white text at the bottom reads “SeeYouSafer.org”
