    He hasnt mentioned long covid. He should be doing press about long covid and how people should be avoiding reinfection still by masking and cleaning the air with air purifiers and upgraded hvacs but hes not because he wants everyone to pretend covid is over and be in the office.

    That initiative is a couple million dollars for a disease thats killing and disabling millions of people that he isnt talking about at all while sending billions for weapons for genocide. Why isnt he talking about clean air, and acting like its no big deal. This should be a war time style effort to combatting the pandemic but he hasnt whispered it.

    His administration has been so bad at public health messaging people are wondering “whats in the air” and shocked that “covid is still a thing”. The cdc is still putting out messaging about washing hands and they still havent put out a plan or regulations for co2 monitoring and clean air initiatives in federal buildings, hospitals, classrooms, and businesses.

      He has literally enacted policy to address this. You can critique that it’s not enough, but you cannot say he hasn’t done anything.

      If verbally saying something is what does it for you: ““We are bringing agencies together to make sure Americans with long Covid, who have a disability, have access to the rights and resources that are due under disability law,” Biden said during his remarks.”

      I imagine his speech wasn’t whispered.
