Owning US bonds are the second most powerful way Americans support the Genocide of Palestinians.
US Treasury bonds are a critical part of the US strategy to financing wars without requiring a draft or tax increases during war. It helps the public swallow the lie that wars don't harm us domestically.
15% of us own them in, either directly, or indirectly in our savings account or in our 401k.
When bonds were first popularized they literally called them "war bonds"

@9711f860 I would absolutely agree. I've seen countless people using negative test results in early phase infection to rule out COVID which is not at all how this works.
Day one of symptoms (Tuesday) I took a COVID test which came up negative (bottom). I was absolutely sick af, hot flashes, heart palpitations, headache, etc. But negative for COVID.
Today I -finally- got an instant positive on a rapid test on day 4 of sickness. At this point I almost feel well enough most people might not think I'm sick, and if I had a boss, they'd probably tell me to be in the office breathing on folks.
The false negatives are very real.

Recovery
No really, do not go back to high intensity exercises immediately!
You're infectious for at least 8 days after initial symptoms. Observe 100% masking for 2wks. Yes, this may mean eating alone or where there is good airflow.
COVID has weakened your immune system for at least 3 months, reduce exposure to all possible infections for this long. COVID provides NO increased immune response to COVID. You can be reinfected immediately, act accordingly.
Take it very easy on yourself for 12 weeks, both mentally and physically.
Aspirin, keep it handy. If you so much as imagine you're feeling a clot hit that aspirin.
Avoid or reduce alcohol, can't possibly be helpful.
Protect your peace. General depression and many common mental health challenges remain a high risk for Long COVID.
Take this all as a time to chill the fuck out and ask everyone around you to also chill out.
Stress is not healthy. Stay calm. Don't panic. Don't feed the trolls.
Preventing
Mask are good, N95s are better.
Wet/damp masks are not effective.
Always mask indoors when not at home.
Only close friends can be trusted to report sickness, and assume they are asymptomatic when they appear well.
Assume ALL illnesses not positively identified are COVID.
Increase airflow in spaces you can effect.
Provide air filters for spaces you control.
If people can't hear you through your mask, find a quieter space.

I feel like we're living in groundhogs day, not making progress against COVID. I'm definitely more COVID conscious than most of my peers(parent brain to blame?).
But if COVID is part of life, the playbook on minimizing your risk should be close at hand. I'm gonna jot mine down as a reminder to myself and encouragement to others to not harm themselves and their loved ones.
We really do have the tools and science to win this pandemic.

Hate having my week derailed by COVID. In reality it's a multi-week to 3month slow down for me. I had a pretty serious (but mysterious) respiratory infection about a decade ago that sent me to the hospital. So I've had a ton of respect for COVID from the start. It took me years to fully recover. It's made me be extremely cautious after my 1st COVID infection last year.
This time the social pressures to not miss a second of, well anything, feels much higher.

So, funny story. Every cop's body cam is basically an AirTag. I did a talk at DEFCON explaining how you can detect and ID police body cams with your phone.
