Parenting in the time of COVID

A realist navigating a pandemic of magical thinking.

This makes no sense. Can anyone challenge @CDCDirector on her refusal to recommend masks?

My money is on @AOC in the fight you picked, @elonmusk

[Yanzhong Huang @YanzhongHuang]

A Chinese business consultant in a Ted-style talk justified zero-Covid policy by saying that in 10 years the West will be brought to its knees b/c long-Covid, which will decimate most of its labor force.

[Ed Suominen @edsuom]

A worthwhile read, not paywalled.

#COVIDIsAirborne #BringBackMasks have been trending in the week that a CDC Director's tweet about the flu, RSV & #Covid19 precautions didn't include anything about face masks or air filtration/purification
Here's my coverage for @forbes

Am I being paranoid, or is Putin possibly preparing to nuke Kherson? First the evacuations then this. Could be that he’s clearing out everything he thinks is valuable before getting nasty. Thoughts? https://t.co/sDwiRPZEZt

2) Hand washing is of course important overall for health. But it’s a half assed message regarding COVID at this stage. If you don’t include either mask or airborne mitigation such as ventilation or air disinfection, you’re doing it wrong. The @CDCDirector should know better.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

Walensky needs to go. Gosh, telling people to ignore an **AIRBORNE VIRUS** with hand washing didn’t work out well did it? ➡️ We need a new @CDCDirector.

I think we need to get #BringBackMasks and #COVIDIsAirborne trending again. Because #CovidIsNotOver

Peter Marks: possibly adding more boosters for adults, while withholding them for under 5s.

[Protect Their Future (Formerly @ImmunizeUnder5s) @PTF_org]

Peter Marks, last we checked, children under 5 are still ineligible for bivalent boosters, so why did you call our citizen petition for #COVID19 vaccines for children "moot"? With no mask mandate & no access to bivalent boosters, kids still have almost NO protection! @FDACBER

[Julie S. Lam @MsJulieSLam]

We need the CDC to continue to track and report COVID rates daily. We need @CDCgov to educate the public about the combined benefits of shots, masks, ventilation, tests, isolation and treatment. #immunocompromised NOT EXPENDABLE 😡

@NYCMayor are you proud?

Day 9: Teacher sends still very-positive test and doctor’s note.

Principal (on phone, of course!):

“I don’t care what your test says or if you don’t feel great. The CDC says you can come back, & I need you back. We don’t have subs and you’re not the only sick teacher.”

Reported NYC School covid cases reached 5,299 this school week.

NYC also announced another pediatric covid death today.

Letting covid tear through schools unabated (fueling spread as students and staff then bring covid home to their families) is an awful policy, @NYCMayor.

@MamaWeasleyy Gentle and respectful poke regarding the below thread. I would truly value your take on all of this. Thanks for being you.

[Parenting in the time of COVID @parenting_time]

@MamaWeasleyy I would love your thoughts on something. I am 10,000% pro vaccine, yet I still have questions and hesitations about the bivalent booster. Curious to hear your reactions on…..
