l wear an N95 mask in public indoor spaces, in airplanes, in stores, and do not eat indoor in restaurants. The after effects of my Covid infection, and what I now know about this virus, compel me to keep myself safe. It is my right. I am not living in fear. I am living in knowledge of the consequences of repeat infections on the human body. They are well documented.

Old news, but important to remember. With simple fit adjustments, N95 masks block nearly all potentially infectious exhaled particles. This is why we need universal public masking and for people to wear quality masks. If we just had source control, we'd have far less cases of Covid, flu, measles, RSV, and more, and there'd be far more living older people, disabled people, and infants (when you say what "high-risk" actually means broadly, it makes it a bit more human, huh?).

Three of my friends and I went and took some money to buy a kilo of flour, which costs $85, and we were on the way.

Hello, my friends

I hope you are all well.

I would like to confide in you a little, and I hope you will listen to me for a moment, if you please.

In light of the famine we are experiencing, we are faced with two choices. The first is to buy food available in the markets. Unfortunately, since food, especially vegetables, is very scarce, it is very expensive, and it takes a lot of money to buy one meal a day. Imagine that the cost of this meal is close to $50, and unfortunately, it will not be enough for anyone. Unfortunately, we have spent all the donations on buying food, and we are now without money. The second option is to go and collect aid from the aid distribution area in Rafah. This option is very risky. First, the aid is not enough for everyone who goes to receive it. What is happening is that thousands of people are rushing to try to obtain the food parcel, and even if you do receive the aid, it may be stolen by bandits. Second, anyone who goes there exposes themselves to arrest and, on occasion, to gunfire. I look at my young, hungry children. I look at my elderly father and mother. I look at my poor wife. I stand for a long time looking at my infant daughter, Habeeba, and I wonder what I should do.

Hunger has worn their bodies down.

First, I hope that some donations will come to us so that I don't have to go to get the food parcel that could end my life or return empty-handed. But what if I don't receive any donations?

In that case, I am forced to go, no matter the outcome.

My dear friends,

We are in a great ordeal and a real tragedy. Please don't leave us. Please don't abandon us. Help us with all your might. Please.

Anyway it's kinda funny how many americans refuse to believe that the status quo of global trade largely consists of the third world subsidizing their quality of life, and not the other way around.
