The Biden admin was probably going to end the mask mandate for travel in a couple weeks anyway, which is why you don't see them condemning this. Next up: ending the Public Health Emergency under FFCRA on July 15 followed by a purge of the Medicaid rolls.
If I had known what wedding planning would require of me, I would’ve been a “why do we gotta get a paper from the government, baby, I love you without all that stuff” guy from the very beginning
I love Elden Ring because it's the only game where I beat a boss solely because I wrote a message saying "dog ahead" next to a tortoise and get healed twice in one fight from it.
CDC: it’s good news that only high risk people are dying
disability community: ??????????
CDC: omg we are so sorry, we did not mean it, will do better next time
CDC next time: having to wear a mask at this point is like literally being hester prynne
So, the @CDCgov just instantly changed it's definition transmission rate. USA instantly goes from mostly high transmission to mostly low & medium transmission. Sure looks like CDC is being negligent on public health.
The new CDC COVID prevention guidelines contain several recommendations that stigmatize immunocompromised people and place the burden on those most impacted and least resourced.
That’s the opposite of public health. Our attitude should be “No one is safe until everyone is safe.”
I want to start screaming and never stop. What are people at higher risk supposed to fucking do if these infectious people are out making contact with us in public spaces? At the fucking grocery store? In our workplaces? At our kids’ schools?? What the fuck is wrong with you???
New in @CDCMMWR: About half of people w/ #COVID19 had a positive antigen test 5–9 days after symptoms or a 1st positive test. During this period, wear masks & avoid close contact w/ people at higher risk for COVID-19, even if ending isolation after 5 days. https://t.co/NpnyOy9ZoE
By the CDC’s logic, if you’re in the hospital with measles you don’t have to wear a mask ever, either. The other patients, staff, and visitors can simply wear a mask at all times if they don’t want to get tuberculosis 🤷🏻♀️ Why mask in the OR? Surgical site infections are whatever.
Under new CDC guidelines, masks are listed as an "individual prevention behavior."
And CDC advises you to "talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask."
Wrong. Masks are a collective measure, most effective when we all wear them to protect each other.
@renudhinakaran@bennessb Yeah, I saw an acupuncturist who did dry needling (and not just, like, trying to use my aura smth) & fixed my jaw almost completely after doing this a few times when it was acting up. It sometimes still goes out of whack, but I can stretch it & get it back into place right away.
Uh oh —> Ex-ERCOT chief says he was following Abbott's direction when they ran up billions in bills during freeze. (This wasn’t what we were told FYI) https://t.co/6JBMUBpoQd via @osborneja#txlege
‘sorry i can’t work today, the government told everyone my life doesn’t matter so i’m trying to cope with the reality that a significant percentage of the country would like me to die so that they can pretend the pandemic is over’
The Atlantic Pitchbot: I'm friends with pharma execs and I've said making mRNA vaccines is just too complicated for the Global South to figure out, so don't worry about IP waivers. Anyway, here are my fondest memories of Paul Farmer.
