@RomiMeidas@RudyRomo707@krassenstein American does not have direct winter flights to ATH, or any direct flights to IST, and likely any representatives to assist, so FCO was the closest airport they fly to direct all year round.
@emergcasey Casey, if I were you I would have postponed their wedding, I would have been like "sorry, this is too much of an ask from me, I think we should do it later"... :)
@lisa_iannattone They are jealous of you because you are cool, steadfast, and have a voice and credibility. They want to take down the bastions of masking and precautions.
@lisa_iannattone The way Covid causes of death are recorded can be very variable and confusing, ranging from "back to normal", "FAFO", "horse dewormers", "did their own research", "listened to Joe Rogan", and "natural (for them) causes". It is hard to compile meaningful data.
@lisa_iannattone When maskless chaos reigns supreme all around us, Lisa and I do not mind being the only ones still wearing a mask at work, and being strong role models....:)
@Dallas_Holladay Stock up on 3M Aura masks (or similar) bulk, if you are wearing them (you should) or for the future, they are good for another 4-5 years, and prices are down. Buy from the 3M site directly. Rubbing alcohol and any sanitation wipes of any kind. Any medical transportation costs.
@dananessel@michiganstateu The focus is on preventing binge drinking (>4 drinks). Many students believe that most other students get wasted when party, thus the campaign aims to dispel that notion by citing statistics showing that this is not true (thus the 70% drinks only 0-4 drinks when party statistic).
@dananessel@michiganstateu This is presumably part of the "harm reduction" model in addictions, predicated on the idea that it may not be realistic to aim for full alcohol abstinence, especially on college campuses, but rather the focus is on reducing the risk from alcohol use and on "drinking responsibly"
