😷 It's a shame that the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, has Covid, but since there's been an increase in infections circulating across the US, with new variants, it's not surprising. I'll never understand why people refuse to take precautions. Masking is easy & effective... I hope that he has a speedy recovery.

At this point, I know maybe 6 or 7 people (8 if you include me) irl, that haven't been infected with #Covid19.

Every time I tell people I've never gotten #Covid , they seem shocked.

All the people I know who are #Novid do at least 2 of the following.

- Not spending time indoors unmasked around others that aren't in their "bubble." If they do see people outside their bubble, they try to do stuff outside. If it has to be indoors, everyone must #MaskUp when inside

- Don't spend a lot of time in public places indoors - especially when there are crowds.

- Having common shared agreements about #CovidPrecautions with the people they do see unmasked (usually about 3 people total - sometimes less - and it's pretty much always the people they live with).

- #Masking in public using high-quality and well fitted masks (N95/KF94/KN95) - everyone I know who has remained Covid free is doing this.

I've watched basically every single person I know catch Covid, some of them multiple times, and it gets harder for me to comprehend how myself and others are screaming from the rooftops about #LayersOfProtection , yet they're still not #MaskingUp.

It's honestly just exhausting at this point because not only can the social isolation get you down sometimes, but I'm also just tired of seeing my friends get sick.

We need our lifetime risk of catching SARS-n to be less than 10%. A 1% chance of getting infected each time we go to the dentist isn't compatible with that. The risk per dental visit has to be like .01% for it not to consume almost your entire risk budget. So, for all practical purposes, the risk at the dentist has to be 0%.

I was thinking about what can be done to make dentists safe after nitter.net/ParentMishmash got infected at the dentist. He was wearing a PAPR nose mask and he still got infected.

We need a network of dentists - at least one in every state/province/etc in the world - who'll agree to take 3 tests per day in the week leading up to the appointment and to prove it by emailing pics. I say 3 tests per day because many of ParentMishmash's tests were negative and he had to test himself multiple times per day to find out that he had it.

Other precautions are needed too (like N95's, air filters, ventilation, etc) but there's not enough evidence that those precautions will protect you if they are breathing virus straight onto you from inches away.

While my mom was here, she masked up and respected my #CovidProtocols, and I only needed to remind or ask her a couple of times.

Considering my immediate family has totally abandoned masking, social distancing, and regular testing back home, I consider this a huge win for #CovidSafety.

Why? Because it tells me that a lot of people are willing to #MaskUp when asked and take #CovidPrecautions - but they've fallen into the #LetItRip trap and the #CovidIsOver narrative so they've given up precautions.

Is it exhausting, frustrating, and deeply upsetting when people fail to understand that we still need to #MaskUp on their own?

Yes.

Does it mean we stop having these conversations and give up all hope that people who have stopped masking will change?

No.

🧵 My mom who has dropped many #CovidPrecautions came to visit last week.

A while ago I shared how worried I was she wouldn't #MaskUp or test because I'm the only one in my immediate family still taking #Covid19 seriously.

Well, I can say that while it wasn't perfect - my moms visit reminded me how important conversations about #COVID with loved ones are - even when it feels like you're wasting your time.

Wow.

CEOs now have a Free Pass!

To take ZERO #CovidPrecautions to protect their employees from catching #Covid

"The California Supreme Court has ruled: If you catch Covid from work & then a family member dies from it, you can’t sue your employer."

Because... Inconvenience

!!!

There would be SO MANY...

It would jam up the system & it would come crashing to a stop.

So NO, they don't care about you or your family

So STAY SAFE OUT THERE!
