COVIDians on Twitter seem to be in a meltdown right now. These new CDC guidelines really have them in a tizzy. I think flying this summer and seeing no one masked has too. As the vast majority of Westerners have returned to normal, cognitive dissonance seems to be enraging them

And in spite of that? Denied from every single Ivy League school.
It makes no sense. My head is spinning.
And for those of you who love to say “it’s because of the essay”, here’s mine. Tell me how I could have done any better.
Here's the truth about tariffs: For 60 years they destroyed the American working class to funnel money upwards into the pockets of the rich. Donald Trump is the first president in generations to tell Wall Street to screw itself—he's for the working men and women of this country.
@EdFuller_PSU @mpolikoff Schools in Europe and Red America were open just fine with none of these things. The ideological pretzels you unrepentant closed schoolers twist yourselves into really is amazing.
@TingleyRobin@samshirazim You mean that public school kids should be in school like their private school peers and their peers in public schools in Europe and Red America? He was following the science.
UPDATE: on April 19, the VBOE agreed to revise the standard VUS 14.a to read "Analyze the rise and spread of militarism and totalitarianism internationally, including but not limited to Imperial Japan, fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and the communist Soviet Union."
@DocJeffD The fact of the matter is that pretty much everyone has had COVID twice, and it's not near 1 in 42. People will just ignore you when you spread such nonsense, and lose even more faith in public health.
Mask mandates at a large London hospital during the first 10 months of Omicron (Dec 2021- Sept 2022) had no discernible effect on hospital-acquired Covid cases, a new study finds.

@aarondeannorman@AJKayWriter@MayoClinic Every hospital I've seen required surgical masks, not high quality masks. So again, requiring surgical masks with the idea they stop respiratory viruses is the same as requiring rabbits feet
@aarondeannorman@AJKayWriter@MayoClinic Why not require every visitor wear a lucky rabbit foot then if they'll do "anything" to prevent compromising the effort? If they're willing to force everyone to cover their faces based on no solid evidence, rabbit feet should be required too.
@R_H_Ebright@DrEricDing@georgetownsfs EFD is a charlatan and not worth your time. He fear mongered about schools while moving his kids to Austria to attend in person school. He Tweets endlessly about masks and COVID risk, then is in Arlington maskless at events all the time.
@michael_mcleary@SherylNYT@Megankstack Exactly. The NYT writers are subtly trying to slide back their pro-censorship views on this topic for the past 3 years. Isn't going to work.
