Hey Americans, if you wake up ill on Sunday morning, chances are that you caught COVID on Thanksgiving Day. Stay home, or mask in an N95 if you must go out.

Princess Di walked through landmines with protective equipment on, and landmines got banned.

Who is a very famous person who could walk in an N95 amongst a sea of unmasked faces, and change public opinion on masks?

Can the only reason I'm weird please be bc I believe in ghosts & aliens? Can everyone come to realize COVID exists & it is dangerous? It's something you should know & act upon. I'm not weird bc I wear an N95 & want others, esp HCWs, to wear them, too.

Am getting increasingly weird vibes over my requests for N95s from healthcare workers I interact with, even some I've known for a decade+. Wondering if they will have me committed, seriously can they do something to me? Wondering if I should cut off care altogether.

Anyone listen to the podcast Mysterious Universe? Aaron is out this week bc he's been feeling dizzy, then fainted. They've been anti-vax, anti-Oz lockdowns, & surely don't 😷. In the past Aaron's described having ❤️ issues. This could have all been prevented.

I might get to watch, in real time, the effects of a teacher who might have had COVID during parent teacher conferences. 24 face-to-face meetings, around 20 minutes each.

I would say I've been going through literal hell this fall to try to make things slightly more COVID safe, but even hell would take more precautions than the people in my community.

For those who want a quick recap on #epidemiology:
It was plumbing that ended the cholera epidemic, not drinking sewage to strengthen everyone's immune system.

Thanks for coming to my #tedtalk.

Hey teachers, you do not need to pull down your mask to talk. You certainly shouldn't pull it down to sing. Also, wear N95s when you're coughing, not blue surgicals.

When non-maskers come to you, after bird virus hits the h-2-h fan, and asks for masks, will you all share? Especially since there may be shortages then? I'm lowkey worried about such a dilemma, would I give some away or not.

I need a miracle to get Halloween costumes in order for the kids. I am stressing over a lot of COVID fuckery going on around us.

Parents, MASK UP YOUR KIDS IF THEY HAVE A DRY COUGH. Or better yet, keep them the fuck home!

I try hard to write about things other than COVID in my journal. Some day my kids will read them. They will know I love them and want to protect them, sure, but I'm more than a COVID researcher (not a COVID researcher, doing the research for the people who should be). I can't be me.

Yesterday my husband and I wondered if there was a school principal anywhere in America who masks. We decided there probably wasn't. What a bleak realization. I wish I could be proven wrong.

Are people still bloodlessly losing teeth after COVID infections? Or was that a thing with a specific variant? Just curious, have no issues but it popped into my head today. Haven't heard of it for a while.

I should go as Janet from The Good Place for Halloween, and then if people ask me questions about life and our universe, I'll just tell them COVID facts.
