Obtaining Health Care Safely in the Pandemicene
First, a caveat: this piece is long. There aren’t a lot of profound truths in the following paragraphs, but there is a lot of nitty-gritty advice along the lines of “If they do X, you say Y.” It’s gotta be granular, this time, because the devil is in the details. But as with any advice, some individual suggestions may or may not work for you. You may find some ideas helpful and others not, or find them helpful some of the time, but not always.
Accessing health care can be a very fraught enterprise, for a lot of reasons. Many people (including women, BIPOC, LGBTQ folks, people whose first language is not English, folks with disabilities or chronic illness, and those who are uninsured) are especially likely to find navigating the healthcare industry challenging because so many providers hold implicit biases that make it hard for patients to be heard and respected.

A COVID FAQ with 300 Sources
Jessica Wildfire, August 23, 2023
Earlier this year, politicians and news outlets tried once again to convince the public that the pandemic was over and that Covid had turned into the flu. They were wrong. Over the coming weeks and months, we’re going to find out just how wrong they were.
Highly mutated forms of Covid are showing up all over the world. Some Covid minimizers are backtracking while others are doubling and tripling down on the same old lies.
Life, Health & the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic
We live in the dual catastrophe of a viral pandemic, and a pandemic of misinformation. The latter
makes the former strangely invisible. Harms caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus are routinely minimized
to the point that many people believe the infection is ‘mild’ and our world is ‘post-pandemic.’
In here I raise the alarms…

Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Prevention Measures on Non-SARS-CoV-2 Hospital-Onset Respiratory Viral Infections: An Incidence Trend Analysis From 2015–2023
We reviewed hospital-onset respiratory viral infections, 2015–2023, in one hospital to determine whether Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission prevention measures prevented non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viral infections. Masking, employee symptom attestations, and screening patients and visitors for symptoms were associated with a 44%–53% reduction in hospital-onset influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), accounting for changes in community incidence.
