Won't be any #COVID safe places soon.

Demand safety in your own situations. Do not succumb to peer pressure or let employers trick you into coming into the office on a limited basis.

They are doing that to ease you back in to what they want, full-time in office all the time.

No one will give you this after they get what they want.

I have been told
that the elastic ear loops
on this mask
push down on my ears
making them stick out
so that I look like an elf
but the comparison
does not really bother me
for I have read
that elves live for a long time
and that is exactly
why I am still wearing this mask.

Thinking about the ‘if Elon cured cancer people would still hate him’ tweet.

He has the means to end world hunger and doesn’t. We don’t hate imaginary philanthropist Musk because we know he could never exist.

More adoption of prevention measures. Proactive is better.

@Vbuy @travellovewine They got Politician #Covid. It’s not the same as regular people Covid.

Politician Covid is mild—because that’s what the narrative requires. Symptoms include an irrational urge to express gratitude for a vaccine that didn’t stop them from getting infected and leaves them with at least half as much risk as an unvaccinated person for #LongCovid.

(In case anyone construes this as an anti-vaxxer rant, I’ve had four #Moderna shots. But the vaccines aren’t nearly enough.)

Press reports of the potential for global spread of MERS due to travel to QATAR mislead their readers by using the name "Camel Flu" in titles.

MERS, with a reported case fatality rate of 35%, along with SARS and COVID are three zoonotic diseases that are more similar to each other than any other known disease.

Effective testing/surveillance can stop MERS, 10 years of cases total about 2,500.
