Hello to all my Novid friends and anyone just intrigued by what the Covid Underground is all about! My name is Emery, and I’m a community organizer who has been an active member of the Covid Underground for some time now. I’m here to share with you what I believe is the most important aspect of our counter-culture movement: our unity, resilience, and dedication to creating new norms that prioritize health and well-being.

It’s no secret that the Covid-19 pandemic has been a life-changing experience for everyone. However, not many realize how it has given rise to a subculture that is reshaping the way we live our lives. The Covid Underground is a growing community of like-minded individuals, dubbed the “Covid Zeros” or “Novids,” who prioritize Covid prevention, practice scientifically proven methods, and support one another in embracing new lifestyles that align with health and adaptability. We are fostering a transformative and resilient counter-culture that challenges the illusion of normalcy.

Now, what is it that I wish everyone truly understood about The Covid Underground? It’s this: we are not hiding away, fearfully waiting for a return to the pre-pandemic lifestyle. We are not just a group of concerned individuals seeking to protect ourselves and our families to some extreme extent. Instead, we are a vibrant, interconnected network of people who share the belief that the pandemic has revealed a need for long-lasting societal change, and we have the power to create that change together.

For many of us, the challenges of the pandemic – quarantines, lockdowns, social distancing – have illuminated what truly matters in our lives. In the confinement of our homes, we rediscovered our creativity, explored new hobbies, and reimagined our priorities. Embracing these changes wasn’t just about survival; it was about thriving in a new world that would never be the same again.

Our movement isn’t solely about strict adherence to Covid protocols. It’s about nurturing a sense of purpose and belonging within our newfound communities, where we all work towards the common goal of health, safety, and the resilience to adapt to an ever-evolving environment. The Covid Underground is an opportunity to reassess and transform the way we live our lives.

In our commitment to each other and our health, we are breaking free from the societal norms that once constrained our creativity and stifled our personal growth. The pandemic led many to recognize the importance of flexibility, openness to change, and a deepened understanding of our interconnectedness. We are actively creating a new culture – one that values health and adaptability – and we do so by learning from one another and supporting one another.

As “Covid Zeros,” we have formed networks that organize outdoor, masked events, and even establish intentional communities where our values and principles are shared and upheld. We recognize the integral role the environment plays in our well-being and strive to work in harmony with it, rather than struggle against it. By fostering these connections within our community, we are creating a foundation for a transformative and lasting counter-culture.

Our steadfast commitment to health and change is beautifully aligned with philosopher Alain Badiou’s concept of fidelity to an event. We, as Covid Zeros, are reinventing our lives and adapting to the ongoing reality of the pandemic, while challenging the dominant narrative that equates health with a return to normalcy. This shared conviction among our community has revealed to us an alternate path – one that embraces change as an opportunity for growth and renewal.

To anyone interested in our movement or simply looking for like-minded individuals who prioritize health and well-being, I encourage you to explore the Covid Underground further. We welcome you with open arms, ready to share our knowledge, experiences, and genuine connections in the hope of creating a better, healthier future for ourselves and future generations.

The Covid Underground is more than just a counter-culture; it’s a testament to the power of human resilience and the transformative potential that lies within all of us. So, the next time you hear about the Covid Underground, remember what truly lies at the heart of our movement: unity, resilience, and a relentless drive to create a new world where our collective well-being is firmly rooted in health and adaptability.

Stay safe, and let’s continue to build a healthier future together.

Peace and love, Emery
