I believe that widespread mask wearing & social distancing will never come back. Before May ’21 most people were masking because of mandates/public pressure. Once the CDC took that away Pandora’s Box was opened & good luck getting most people to mask up again. We’re on our own.😷

Thinking about the fact that the Buffalo shooter put a gun to his chin, set it down, took off his body armor, then put his hands up, and was arrested alive.
Patrick Lyoya was pulled over for a plate issue, was shot point blank in the head, and everyone forgot about it in a day.

Source of confusion:
For health official, mandate threshold needs to be very high, given pushback. Reasonable to use “Are hospitals full w/ Covid?” as trigger.
For individual, main issue is “How risky is activity w/ vs. without mask?” For that, hospital #’s are mostly irrelevant.— Bob Wachter (@Bob_Wachter)

Let me be abruptly clear, when COVID measures and transmission are such that vulnerable people cannot access certain areas of society without running a huge risk of hospitalization or death, then society has failed them. This is basically exclusion of part of our population.

Since hospitalizations are now rising, so too will mortality. The decoupling of severe illness from case levels is deceiving because this surge hit the most vaccinated part of the country first. Deaths will rise significantly as infections rise in the Midwest and South. https://t.co/NuGyUaRShS

Not only must Russia suffer a real defeat in Ukraine, one Russia cannot rise from for generations, but France and Germany must also lose their positions of power in Europe. France’s and Germany’s appeasement of Russia is one of the biggest reasons European security has collapsed.

This is absolutely correct 👇🏼 jeez.
Both our kids were recently strongly positive after 5 days – obviously they stayed home
After 5 days, check. If negative great. If not – still infectious. If you have to make contacts while still positive make sure you mask https://t.co/rwamxawe5q

So all these infectious disease experts are saying perhaps it’s time to put masks back on & I’m over here like I never stopped masking the whole damn time cuz I’ve seen 1st hand how freaking contagious it is while fighting this sh*t on the front lines for 26 straight months. Oy.

New analysis shows that the long term, neutralizing antibodies produced after recovery from a primary Omicron infection (in absence of vaccination) have a narrow specificity, suggesting they’re unlikely to provide robust protection against novel variants

I’m really sick of this pandemic.
I want it to be over. I want to just walk out my door, no #mask, go about my business like I did in the past, and put #COVID19 behind me.
But it doesn’t work that way. The apparent difference between me & most people is that I understand this. https://t.co/NZfsP5RRLg

The fact the political establishment was so spooked by protests at Kavanaugh’s home that, within hours, they passed a bill to expand security for SCOTUS is actually further evidence that protesting at their homes is effective
