[Bold, handwritten text] COVID is really dangerous.
[Cartoon of a person's circulatory system]
COVID isn't just a respiratory disease. The virus infects the lining of blood vessels,[13] which can damage every organ system, all over the body.[14]
It disrupts the blood-brain barrier. Covid “brain fog”;[15], loss of taste and smell? That's brain damage. [16]
At least 1 in 10 infections cause new, lasting symptoms,[17] aka Long COVID. The more times you get it, the higher the risk.[18]
[bold, handwritten] Causes of Long COVID include:
Persistent Virus[19]
[cartoon of an intestine with viruses in it]
Causes: chronic inflammation, immune system exhaustion.
Microclots[20]
[cartoon a vein with a clot in it]
Cause: tissue hypoxia, stroke, organ failure.
Organ Damage[21]
[cartoon of an anatomical heart]
Causes: heart problems, gray matter loss.
Reactivating other viruses[22]
[cartoon of a virus]
Such as: EBV (mono), other herpresviruses.
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) “crashes,” which may come hours or days after the triggering event, [23], are common in Long COVID.[24] PEM is the hallmark symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
Long COVID resources:

Brain fog, hard to even think.
In pain, feel like you have the flu for months on end.
Have to lay in the dark and quiet.

[Bold, handwritten] COVID is still everywhere.
At least half of COVID spread is from people without symptoms.[10] Either before symptoms develop, or the ~40% of cases that are asymptomatic![11]
[Cartoon of a waitress, unmasked, looking abashed, surrounded by an infectious cloud, saying "may I take your order?"]
Without available testing, the best way we have to estimate how many people have COVID: wastewater data. Virus levels in sewage closely follow actual cases.[12]

[Graph from Michael Hoerger @michael_hoerger, pmc19.com/data, titled “SARS-CoV-2 New Daily Infections, Wastewater-Derived Estimates (U.S.) - Jan 12, 2026.”
The current level is around 1,000,000 new daily infections.
The graph has been annotated by me, with “Omicron peak: over five million new daily cases” and “April 2023: Biden ends COVID emergency response.” It's apparent that April 2023 was a lull, but the pattern of COVID waves has been basically unbroken since early 2022.]

Airborne diseases such as COVID are spread by respiratory aerosols, which we're always exhaling— increasing with how loudly we speak, yell, or sing.[5]
[bold, handwritten] Infectious aerosols spread and linger like smoke[6]
[Cartoon of two people talking. One is spewing out a cloud of infectious aerosols; the other is wearing a mask. Drawing of me, also wearing a mask, in the foreground, speaking to the reader.
[word balloon] A respirator mask is an air filter for your face![7]
[bold, handwritten] Less inhaled = Lower infection risk.
Less exposure time, more distance, and more clean airflow can stop airborne disease transmission.[8]
[Graph comparing Conditional Probability of Infection (one infector present) to Dilution Factor of Exhaled Air.
The lines represent COVID Wild Type exposure times.
The lines all make an “S” shape from Conditional Probability of Infection as 1.0, at zero Dilution Factor of Exhaled Air, down to 0.0 Conditional Probability of Infection. The 10-minute-exposure line hits 0 when the Dilution Factor is 10^4, the 1-hour-exposure line hits 0 when the Dilution Factor is 10^5, and the 8-hour-exposure line hits 0 when the Dilution Factor is 10^6.
Above the lines, different ranges of Dilution Factors are marked off, labeled according to the circumstances in which they would commonly occur. From least to most diluted, the ranges are: Close Proximity {Intimate, Personal, Social}
Shared Room Air {Cars, US Residences, Superspread, Indoors ASHRAE (which overlaps with Close Proximity Outdoors)}
Outdoor {Close Proximity Outdoors, Outdoors}
One may notice that the Conditional Probability of Infection hits zero beyond the Close Proximity Outdoors range.]

There are a lot of vested interests[1] in ignoring a simple truth:
[bold, handwritten] COVID is an AIRBORNE disease which is STILL a danger to EVERYONE. But there's so much we can do to prevent it!
If COVID spread by droplets and surfaces, then it could be prevented by handwashing—conveniently, an individual responsibility.
However, study since 2020 has made it clear:
[Bold, handwritten] Many diseases are airborne![2]
Including:
MERS
Measles
COVID
Chickenpox[3]
SARS-1
Common Cold
Flu
RSV
Tuberculosis
THIS IS A HUGE PARADIGM SHIFT.
Airborne transmission means that building owners need to provide clean indoor air, just like clean water.[4] They can't “wash their hands” of COVID.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twccexjsbh6y2tyhysjrhc2v/bafkreiahdhsuf5ttzofoo4clwijksyuke2vq4mgndrfs7ml4omcakcqttu@jpeg)
