Coworker’s been sick for two weeks. Says they’ve been feeling better each day but now laryngitis has set in. Testing negative for the thing that shall not be named. Just general immune system issues I guess. 🤷‍♂️.

I heard an episode of Freakonomics once that argued the best thing a parent could do to have successful kids was to simply set a good example by not smoking & not drinking. Not private school or sports camp. Where would protecting your kid from Covid rank in that list these days?.

Osterholm not ready to say the surge is here or that we will even get one. Still just an uptick in his eyes, nobody’s getting super sick, and to him that’s good news. Minimize much, Mike? School starts in a week.

RT @larmbrust: me: let’s spend $3M, build the world’s best air filters. also me: here’s 50,000 of them for $5 bc we’re shutting down.

I don’t know what he’s running for or his qualifications, but I’m still voting for him.

More good news about the return to office. If we forget our headphones they have some there. And best of all they have little covers to keep them sanitary. LITERALLY MASKS FOR EAR HOLES BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR FACE HOLES. Make it make sense.

Why are the antimaskers lurking on the Zero Covid Reddit? Shouldn’t they be out there doing their YOLO thing?.

In 2021-22 the vaccinated were blaming the unvaccinated for their continuing infections. Now it’s the opposite: The unvaccinated are blaming the vaccinated for why they keep getting sick. Can we just agree there is no immunity?.

Remember the days when somebody would knock on the door and we would actually get it?.

If people are losing anywhere from 3-9 IQ points with every Covid infection, and the average number of Covid infections is now almost four, and average IQ used to be 100, then it’s pretty clear why things are the way they are right now.

If all the people saying Covid is over would stop getting Covid over and over then Covid would actually be over. Meanwhile wastewater says Covid is not over.

He died the next day? RIP.

Dejected basset hound goes unloved for six minutes… a personal worst!

Coworker woke up with a bad headache and the start of “a cold”. It’s called Stratus. Look it up.

Osterholm acknowledges increases in COVID everywhere and particularly in the South and West, but doesn’t think we will see a major surge in next few weeks or months. And hey deaths are still low. The surge has already started and school is just weeks away.
