Welcome! I'm so glad you found this! The situation is stressful, scary and serious. Much has happened and is still happening.
There's lots of information flying around, and also absences of information. Many are wondering what to do, what's going on or may not even know to ask or what.
*This blog is U.S. based but I want to make a conscious effort to post public health information from other countries.*
NOTE: I am currently on extended hiatus.
I’m battling with both my health and mental health. I have long covid but also was disabled well before this. I was born disabled. And with the pandemic is ongoing along with other escalating problems and crisis personally and around us, it’s become harder than ever to live. Keep mitigating and thank those who continue to inform and advocate to help us protect ourselves. - Admin

Notice: I am not a medical professional, virologist, epidemiologist, clinician or official. Just a person concerned about public health and providing aid in the form of information. That said I do take my role and this blog very seriously, and what I have to contribute is no less important and valuable 💜
Note from admin - Unfortunately the handling of communication has led to many problems and left scored of people unprepared, under prepared and to figure out how to proceed alone. This is s failure of leadership, duty and concern for the public welfare.
To control the spread of disease and set the tone for public health. In lieu, individuals, organizations and organizing has stepped up. My goal along with them, is to address issues, find solutions and contribute to seeing us through this very dark brutal uncertain time.
I wanted to compile what I've learned and researched to hopefully pass it along. To fight against mass illness, disabling and death. To give people choices, transparency, education, findings and resources. And advocate for investment and social support. What should have been provided all along and more.
Check out clean-air-covid-safe Tumblr blog if you live in the state of Minnesota. It is an inventory of businesses, schools, residential properties, community spaces and transportation services graded based on their clean and covid policies and practices.
Important!
While it is an ardent wish, there are public health and political officials who are releasing information that is harmful and deadly on a mass scale. So we ask in this situation, to be particularly skeptical and critical of the Center for Disease Control, White House and even some news media outlets messaging and policies.
Gather various sources of information, and from more than one country. Please fact check what is published/said. The pandemic hub will try to offer tools so people can do this, a bit easier at least. I will try my best to be thorough about the information I post. That said I'm only human, if you spot any inaccurate information please direct message me and I will review the post(s) so I can fix it. Thank you for visiting! I hope this blog is helpful!
