@axlicher Everything ok?

No fear mongering at this point in 2022 with COVID if you know immunology- T cells prevent severe disease and cover all variants (& subvariants to date); B cells produced by vaccines produce adaptive antibodies to strain in front of them aided by T cells.

Fascinating cultural differences

When you use fear as a motivator in public health, there will almost always come a time when you realise you need to start undoing what you have done

It’s very, very easy to terrify parents

The undoing is infinitely harder

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner.

First, an astonishing chart.

After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

@Hogan1Jane Okay today! Crazy winds yesterday though!

@axlicher 🥂🥂🥳🥳call you later! Congrats my friend!

It’s extraordinary when you think about it how long the "policy über alles" myth has been able to persist in the face of overwhelming contrary evidence. It really speaks volumes about how incredibly stupid the cognoscenti are.

@AstorAaron I think it actually made it worse😫😭

What the hell is going on in the Netherlands? Other Low Countries have turned down a bit.

[Erin 🥂💅👋 @ErinHGriff]

@AstorAaron No I agree with you!! I think the lockdown prolonged our omicron curve.

Sorry if that was unclear. The 🤡 is for the panicked and useless lockdown that our government put into place...

Who knew a simple haircut could become a symbol of civil disobedience?

Museums and theaters in the Netherlands are temporarily turning into hair salons and gyms to protest against what they say are unfair coronavirus measures. @April__Roach reports https://t.co/lWmEmdxDkt

[Prof Francois Balloux @BallouxFrancois]

Pandemic restriction measures that do not have the support of a clear majority of the population are ineffective at best and harmful at worst. There I said it.

[Erin 🥂💅👋 @ErinHGriff]

I know I’ve been very critical of our absurd and panicked lockdown in the Netherlands. But it’s nice to know that at least the economies of Belgium and Germany have benefitted! 🤪🙄

@emme_di Gli olandesi sono i migliori, entrati in lockdown con i casi in discesa un mese fa, ora si ritrovano, come tutti, con record giornalieri di nuovi casi e tutte le attività economiche già chiuse. Quindi non sanno più cosa fare, se non manganellare la gente incazzata. 🤷‍♂️

Seeing many threads of people having gotten COVID then going through a multi-step process to explain themselves as if they’ve done something wrong. This is unfortunate, but not surprising when we have been moralizing this acquisition of this virus for the last two years. #COVID19
