  • Not trying to lessen your point, but people do be dying from sepsis all of the time still. Granted, we do have way better treatment and protocols, but it’s a fast killer if not caught in time and a lot of different things can cause sepsis

    But polio, for sure way better. Never seen anyone with polio before irl

    Also stroke treatment. Wayyyy better now than before. We didn’t really have anything except aspirin until the 90’s, and now we’re straight up removing the clots from the brain (when we can). It’s kind of wild how much stroke treatment has improved in 30 years




  • You shift your body subconsciously all of the time, especially while sitting/lying down; this naturally prevents bed sores

    If you’re at risk of developing bed sores from wrinkly sheets, then you probably won’t have the strength to make your bed every day. Bed sores are more frequent with neuropathy, weakness, altered mental status etc; but for the average healthy folk… no, wrinkly sheets won’t (significantly) increase your risk for bed sores

    Underlying conditions (acute or chronic) are the reasons for bed sores. You can have a perfectly smooth bed, but if you’re not making subtle weight shifts, you’ll get a bed sore

    I work weekends, so it’s hard for me to attend weekday stuff. But I took off of work on a Saturday to protest, because we need people out there. So I say do it on the weekdays too, and have people call-in to work to go

    Peaceful disruption by having mass call-ins on protest days; because it matters and it makes the protests harder to ignore when people aren’t going into work every time a protest happens. Keep it happening, and keep the pressure up. I can’t afford a vacation anyway, so I’ll save my PTO to get out there and call-in to work whenever

    My time off is my time off, don’t matter why. I’m calling-in because it’s none of their business. It’s just a “sick day” cause I’m fucking sick (of the atrocities being normalized and the utter disintelligence spreading like wildfire)

    Smaller protests are fine, cause people can’t afford to be at every single one. But everyone can afford to be at as many as possible. Than you have a constant force that’s more likely to crest
