I believe they're still voting on amendments

You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.

I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

Embarrassing is an understatement. Horrified that Zalensky is being treated this way

The US CDC has announced that, going forward, reported SARS-CoV-2 wastewater levels will be normalized to an endemic baseline

"Zero" on this baseline will be levels in the previous year

Me too!

Go Blue...would love to be the upset game of the week!

49 per cent of COVID infections are asymptomatic. Protect yourself by wearing a mask, keeping up vaccination and cleaning the air

As we enter the festive season, please bear in mind that up to half of all COVID infections are asymptomatic. Protect yourself and others to avoid infection. Each one increases your risk of Long COVID

It's not just love that's in the air

Gentle reminder: even if you don't mask regularly, please mask inside airplanes.

It's amazing how one day (the election) cured me of my news obsession. No longer keeping it on in the background all day. Just a couple hours in the evening to catch up. Favorites are still Nicole Wallace and Lawrence O'Donnel.

I started paying attention to this guy on X and have continued to follow him. He seems pretty competent and believable. I'd hate to think the evidence is there to be found but is being ignored. It should at least be explored while there's still time....https://spoutible.com/thread/38163651

RED ALARM on H5N1. Data dump late last night from the BC teen shows that the sequence has picked up the necessary mutation needed for adequate transmission among human hosts. It’s got PB2 E627K. The same mutation that 1918 Spanish influenza had. We’re going to have a pandemic.

Buckle up.

Don't remove your mask indoors. Aerosols < 5 micrometers can persist in the air for hours.

PSA: 🚨 DO NOT TAKE YOUR MASK OFF INDOORS, even if there is no one else around.🚨

The virus persists in the air for HOURS because #CovidIsAirborne

Only take your mask off outdoors, and preferably use an N95 mask.
