Plague Poems
Based on the wastewater data
human metapneumovirus
(better known as HMPV)
is currently surging
across the US,
which is an unfortunate reminder
that what you find yourself
trying to survive
is not an era of plague
but an era of plagues.

@plaguepoems I wish this were just a joke: The Mayo Clinic lists four different ways to protect yourself.

None of them is "wear a mask" or "use a HEPA filter or a Corsi box", despite acknowledging it can be spread by droplets.

Somehow I'm reminded of the folks who wander around with masks below their nose, which to me looks much like wandering around with your pants and underwear securely fastened just below your exposed genitals.
