A remarkably timely cartoon from exactly 100 years ago. This should be read as a message of hope. The 1918/20 pandemic was the worst in modern times, and its immediate aftermath was bleak ...

I agree with every single word of this.

Especially: "Schools should never close", but also all the rest of it (test to stay, voluntary masking -- but encouraging good masks for those who want them, better ventilation).

Let’s do a little math about Delta breakthrough infections:
If 10% of fully vaccinated people got them, and we apply 1.2% getting hospitalized (Provincetown data, perhaps worst case scenario, superspreader event)
Then 99.88% of vaccinated would be protected from hospitalizations

My oped today on the COVID Vax for Healthy Kids. Don't rely on the CDC or FDA to take swift action to investigate the concerning cases of myocarditis in teens after the 2nd dose. The CDC called for an emergency mtg NEXT FRIDAY... how about tomorrow? https://t.co/8NyVIOfhmn
