Our pressure is working! The First Minister confirmed today that he is actively considering this proposal.
“The study suggests that acute COVID-19, regardless of Long COVID status, is linked to an increased risk of car crashes presumably due to neurologic changes caused by SARS-CoV-2. These findings underscore the need for further research into the neuropsychological impacts of COVID-19…”
The Israeli military is rightly banned from using government-owned Prestwick Airport because of their genocidal assault on Palestine.
The Scottish Government accepts that Trump and Israel's attack on Iran is in clear violation of international law.
The American miliary should now be banned as well

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

The Scottish Government have the power to take a stand. They can block US troops from using Scottish-owned airports.
Trump's troops must be evicted from Scotland.

I see so many posts with folks saying they don’t get COVID. Sadly the risks of asymptomatic infections have been forgotten. This is why we had testing. Please read about asymptomatic COVID. Infections still carry post infection risks and can infect others. ada.com/covid/asympt...

Think what this decision means to you all. Schools are full of covid. Over 120k UK children have long Covid and they have no rights. We know #Covidisairborne and that means indoors anywhere where anyone has COVID! www.europesays.com/ch/17407/

text says "There’s no way to know which COVID-19 infection will cause long-term illness. Each new COVID-19 infection increases your risk of organ damage, Long COVID, and disability, even if you have no other health conditions that you know of, and even if your previous COVID-19 infections were mild or had no symptoms. Protect your lifelong health by protecting yourself from COVID-19, no matter your age or health history. Wear masks. get vaccinated. keep indoor air clean.” Graphics on the side illustrate people getting sick repeatedly until eventually they end up with long-term illness.
Every time you get COVID-19, your risk increases for Long COVID, organ damage, disability, & more, & there’s no way to know which infection will be the one to cause it! Protect your lifelong health by protecting yourself from COVID-19. Learn more about Long COVID: www.cdc.gov/long-covid/a...
This is a mental war that we have to win. It's not about being a luddite, it's about destroying or retaining the ability to think. It's about how insidious this becomes in a situation where generative AI is adopted and then subverted intentionally.

Risks after any infection last a long time, particularly Cardiovascular, GI and nervous system (neurological). Risk is cumulative, so the name of the game is to avoid catching COVID.

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy?
Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia.
And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.

"COVID is here to stay" is a fatalist position. In the 1800s, before municipal water filtration, saying "there's nothing we can do about cholera" would have been wrong. The same is now true of COVID. Far-UVC/ventilation/filtration can hugely reduce transmission if we demand it.
