"Every picture of a masked face. Every negative COVID test. Every captioned picture from the event makes a difference. Every single one helps to normalize taking these basic precautions. Thank you. You are my tribe."

When you take a taxi in Tokyo, it's now pretty standard to have an air quality monitor inside.
The drivers all mask and there's plexiglass separating the driver and the passengers.
You may argue about the effectiveness of each of these measures, but it's clear that this is a society responding together and adapting to a new reality.
This is living with the virus: trying to mitigate it's harm. Instead of pretending it does not exist.
Went to a donut shop in Japan today.
They had a CO2 monitor on the counter and a UV light on, plus circulating air through the ventilation system.
Also all the staff and most of the customers were masked. 😷
It's really not that hard and if a donut shop can do it we can certainly do it at least in schools and hospitals.
This is more what I'd think "Live with the virus" looks like. What we're doing feels more like "Pretend there is no virus".
This is NOT an article from The Onion...
"Several people who attended the Epidemic Intelligence Service Conference have tested positive for COVID-19,” a CDC branch chief wrote in an email to staff on Friday.
Certain groups are pulling out of developing #COVID vaccines now that the "COVID opportunity" is "receding".
They are abandoning everything they promised. They aren't updating vaccines, they've stopped working on new vaccine development, they won't pay for testing & monitoring.
Businesses promised hybrid then forced everyone back full time. Businesses promised remote then forced hybrid. They're trying to force recession to take back power.
We need to unionize everything.
"I guess we should retire the expression "avoid it like the plague" given how little effort people put into avoiding an actual plague."

We'll never fully understand the political agenda that popularized the removal of mask-wearing. It's the least expensive yet most effective way to protect the public.
Mask wearing should never have ended when there is currently over 500 deaths a day.

Pro-tip for #conference vendors & sponsors in the #US:
A social media pic of your booth staff w/smiling unmasked faces does not make me want to drop by during the next break.
A free infection with #COVID, with a chance of long-term injury/disability, is just not the compelling free swag you may think it is.
