Until it's widely accepted that #COVIDIsAirborne AND we have widely implemented the triad of engineering indoor controls of #ventilation, #filtration, and #UVGI this won't end.
The analogy is municipal water treatment and sewage treatment to stop cholera.

@DavidElfstrom

If I may turn this into a short, punchy statement:

We stopped cholera by cleaning the water we drink.

We will stop Covid by cleaning the air we breathe.

@neroden @DavidElfstrom

We will have to rid ourselves of the elite parasites that profit from unrestricted spread before we will be allowed to clean the air we breathe. Our reality is far more terrifying than any horror movie I've ever seen.

@noyes @DavidElfstrom

As a professional investor, I can state confidently that (with the possible exception of Pfizer and a couple of other pharma corps) the elite parasites are for the most part LOSING money due to unrestricted spread.

Delta's CEO demanded that isolation periods and masks be removed, got it, & promptly ran out of pilots & had to cancel flights.

This is sheer "madness" stuff, insanity, it isn't just corporate greed.

@neroden @noyes @DavidElfstrom
It's ideological, and although I hate the 'economy' framing, no one is doing better even if you use that frame.

They are just reflexively opposed to any kind of collective effort, anything that might smell like caring for the masses, even if they get harmed in the process.

@mathew1927 @noyes @DavidElfstrom

I really think there's an opening to separate the smart business owners who care about profit, away from the ideological "crush the masses even if it hurts us" types.

Gotta assemble case studies like Apricot Tree Cafe and make business cases showing "less sick workers = more profit"
