Hi Dr. Dean. I wear an FFP2 mask in all public indoor spaces. I use NAAT testing to test guests to my home. This takes about 30 minutes then, if -ve, guests umask. To the best of my knowledge, I have never had Covid-19. In fact, I have not had so much as a cold since early 2019.
Do you guys wear N95 masks in all public spaces? Do you let people into your homes without masks?

Pleased to meet you, Leo. I live in Northern Ireland and wear a FFP2 mask in all public indoor spaces.
Has anyone ever come across a Covid-crazy like this in the UK? It seems to be a specifically yank thing.

University of Hong Kong researchers analyzed 40 airplane outbreaks of COVID-19 and flu. Infection risk was highest near infected passengers. Models found N95 masks nearly eliminated transmission, while doubling ventilation alone was insufficient. pubs.acs.org/esthag/article/…

I very much want to be wrong, but I think this outbreak is going to get much, much worse. Attacks on healthcare workers, active conflict zone, porous borders, sub-optimal surveillance. A very bad combination.

Lots of people don't want to wear masks because of the stigma associated... Please ignore that and wear one, especially when traveling.
I am so disenheartened by the number of people on my flights today hacking away and by the number oblivious to their fate that either are sick or are getting exposed.

YOUR ATTENTION: 🚨Every new COVID-19 (re)infection elevates your cardiovascular risk profile. Even mild cases can raise the odds of a heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and other CV events for months to years afterward. Risk is higher with more severe illness, yes, but it’s certainly not limited to severe disease. Updated vaccination will show some mitigation(infection severity↓) but doesn’t give you a risk-free pass! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections #UpdateVaccination ➡️Supportive links: 1.

Two points: first, there is no 'after Covid'. There is 'after the end of societal non-pharmaceutical interventions'. Second, Covid can cause both prolonged fatigue and prolonged cognitive dysfunction. Because Covid is so common, population level effects are inevitable.
After COVID, people's social skills have drastically declined. Many have less patience for each other, and simple interactions can feel awkward. Everyone seems more comfortable staying home and avoiding people.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

On one hand we have flock cameras locating the f out of us, and on the other hand we have “oh covid, we absolutely can’t locate that”, it’s just basic effort

I'm so impressed with CC people in their 20s and 30s. Developmentally, it's just a very difficult time in general, focused on "launching," so there is a lot of pressure surrounding relationships, education, and work. Since pandemic onset, you have lived through immense threats, which much of society stopped acknowledging in 2022. That can create immense stigma, isolation, and alienation. You may be dealing with health issues or caregiving for family earlier than anticipated, or both. These challenges are often much harder if money is especially tight, or you're a part of an underrepresented or minoritized group or groups. It's just difficult in so many way. Anyway, you're the best. I see you. You're way ahead of your time. Keep fighting. 💪😷

I met an old friend recently, someone I haven't seen in years. Immediately noticing my mask, he said, 'are you still worried about Covid?'. I replied, 'yes'. He then said, 'Why? Sure everyone's had it now'. I don't think he understood when I then said, 'that's why I'm worried'.

Just saw someone (no mask)post how happy they are to get their Covid vaccine & how they're going going out to dinner later to celebrate. Most people think vaccination on its own is a magic bullet for prevention. PUBLIC HEALTH FAILURE.

A rare personal post, of sorts. If you haven't seen this masterpiece of television, I strongly recommend that you do. It is, by far, the best TV I have ever seen. In fact, I often (half) joke to friends that this series ruined television for me, because I judge everything by it.

For those at the back who weren't paying attention: It's not just about the first couple of weeks of an infection It's about the problems it causes that you don't even see until three or six or twelve or sixty months or two hundred months after the infection.
