When you clean the air, then talk to me about returning to the office: https://t.co/9fnOQGTihd

[Fe. @NoHealthNoFun]

No, Natalia. What we need are workplaces that actually implement basic safety measures to stop airborne transmission. And employers who are held accountable when their negligence turns preventable diseases into workplace hazards.

Now do the health impacts of repeat workplace COVID infections.

I’m so excited. My secret (not so secret) observational experiment is about to begin.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for wastewater surveillance.

I wear a mask in public in my daily life because I understand what it MEANS to do so. Our actions having meaning. If you understand this virus, how do you la-la-la your way past this? It’s bewildering.

You know what else can adversely affect your health -both mental and physical? Sitting in an office getting Covid over and over again.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Home alone. Remote work can adversely influence mental health. A new study @ScienceMagazine

The Bears have flirted with Arlington Park for 50 years, Arlington wants them, but the Bears refuse to commit. Typical men.

Michelle Pfeiffer defends 'Grease 2,' saying that 'people of a certain generation' love the 1982 sequel. Over time, the movie musical gained a cult following. https://t.co/RNAZXYnCLw

From this date six years ago. This many still die from covid per year in the US but I guess it isn't an incalculable loss now.

[ESPN @espn]

Steve Kerr had nothing left to prove. But at a crossroads in his career, facing down the pains of his past convinced him he had everything left to play for.

Woman’s Anxiety Reclassified As Severe Hantavirus

[Janine Schaults @jschau2]

Planes and all medical settings. It’s not that hard. But but but, your snacks, right?
So what’s the excuse for medical settings?

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

Masking on planes is one of the easiest lifestyle changes we could collectively make to halt or slow future pandemics. Vulnerable ppl have to fly for various reasons and have no choice but to be trapped in a tin can w you. You should be home if sick, masked if flying.

[adam.tsuris @AdamTsuris]

Restaurants, stadiums, and cruises are packed during an unchecked airborne pandemic. What's more hedonistic than treats over life?

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

It’s the original sin of COVID, it’s the original sin of the pandemic, it’s the original sin the failure of halt the virus. We never had the proper tools. We were washing down our groceries and then standing 6 feet away from ppl in the grocery store catching that virus

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

They never followed through on their early claim that, if it were shown to be fully airborne, they’d recommend full airborne precautions in medical settings. Instead, they let the news trickle out with little fanfare. It was a PR nightmare for them, and they didn’t promote it

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

And when the science showed Covid was much more transmissible than previously believed, the WHO failed to mount an appropriately comparable CORRECTIVE campaign to explain how they’d be WRONG. That washing your hands isn’t as important as wearing a high quality n95 mask.

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

Incredible work was done to finally get the WHO to admit that COVID was fully airborne- but this was after a full year of inaccurate messaging, like that surgical masks were as effective as KN95 or N95 masks, or that social distancing was as adequate as masks

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

The WIRED piece above should be required reading bc it recounts how the WHO was not merely WRONG about how COVID spread. They LIED about their CERTAINTY that COVID “was not airborne”. Clearly this was not true. Fantastic scientists like Linsey Marr PROVED them wrong

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

The WHO also very notoriously refused to consider airborne transmission of COVID and all through first year heavily pushed the misinfo that it could only spread via “droplets” in spite of other scientists’ objections.
