The Covid Safety Handbook

Summary

Covid is "over," right? If only that were true.

Thousands of studies now show in the clearest of terms that Covid's initial infection is just the tip of the iceberg. Yet confusion, misinformation, disinformation, and resistance toward prevention clouds nearly every aspect of this preventable disease.

Even if your situation feels impossible there are ways to safely, easily, and even discreetly reduce your risk—and you are far from alone.

This inclusive book is a guide to making changes that produce results, whether it's finding a low-key prevention tool that works, getting a loved one to take less risks, or balancing Covid safety and mental wellness. In clear examples, learn to set and keep prevention boundaries, navigate Long Covid relationships, make meetups and travel safer, counter conspiracies, make a Covid emergency kit, unpack Covid personality changes, solve mismatched risk levels in a relationship, find out what to say in tricky situations, quickly identify and crush gaslighting, find like-minded Covid-safe nerds worldwide, become an ally for disabled and immunocompromised friends, and much more.

The results are in: Long Covid affects over 400 million people, there's no cure, and it doesn't care how healthy you are now—but the only prevention is to not get Covid in the first place. So why aren't we doing that?

Brimming with expertise and evidence-based advice, The Covid Safety Handbook lays out practical strategies for staying safe, being prepared, and feeling strong in an ongoing pandemic.
