A quick thread for people wanting to show their solidarity for what is happening in the USA right now by attending a gathering/march in New Zealand today... 1/n
Please remember that coming together in large numbers & talking loudly/shouting/singing are a perfect combination for allowing #COVID19 to spread. So here are some things you can do to minimise that risk 2/n
Do not go if you feel even slightly unwell. Remember #COVID19 symptoms can be very mild. Here& #39;s the symptoms chart @XTOTL & I pulled together... 3/n
Also, remember that people are infectious before they show any symptoms so please cover your mouth and nose with something, in case that& #39;s you. There are lots of online tutorials for making a cloth mask, eg: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/a32084240/how-to-make-no-sew-homemade-face-masks/">https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/a3... 4/n
Alternatively, another way you can show your solidarity but while staying home is to make a donation to organisations like @MNFreedomFund which pay bail for low-income individuals who cannot otherwise afford it. https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate ">https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate&qu... 5/n
Here& #39;s a thread for donating to funds in other cities: https://twitter.com/alanaauston/status/1266523697462104065">https://twitter.com/alanaaust...
Also, check out @armsdownnz and let the police and your representatives here in New Zealand know you are concerned about armed police patrols here. https://armsdown.nz/ ">https://armsdown.nz/">...
