Nobody knew in 2/2022 just how #contagious #Covid #SARS2 would become but #reinfection known about at this point. Happened to me & knew I couldn’t be an #outlier
Difference between BA.1 #omicron & current #variants is so vast #reproductiveNumber
If we don’t change our #behavior as a #society things WILL get worse & worse. It’s already unbelievably bad yet #politicians refuse to bring back #maskMandate

IT’S A SIGN OF #INTELLIGENCE TO ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG

but no..

They used logic & math with the #understanding that #SARS2 #Covid #reproductiveNumber is #approximately #R18
#reinfection #XBB #XB #BQ1 #etc

I miss #2020 R2.6
even without a #vaccine the #contagiousness of #current #variants is #incomprehensible

Scary thing is #practically nobody understands this thing is now at least 4x more #contagious than #Delta plus #Winter2021 we still wore masks

I’m so #sorry
Hasn’t been well #advertised that #reproductiveNumber no longer what it was since even last #fall. My #nightmare that #honest to God didn’t think would ever happen, was it would become as #transmissable as #measles which I’d read #lingered in #air #hours

For #reference measles R14-18?
Jump in July from BA.1 to BA.5 & now here we are in #winter dry #air

There’s a WSJ 12/2020 article that explains #RelativeHumidity
I miss 2020;unbelievably🤦🏻‍♀️

#JFC… this is #unsustainable & even though I knew it would be a bad #2022 since the western world #collectively dropped #indoormaskmandates #circa March ‘22, I #apparently lacked the #imagination to have seen this #shitstorm #WinterIsComing #Thanksgiving #Christmas #Hanukkah #etc
