one of the truly depressing things about the culture war over masks is that we simply refuse to treat them as a tool to mitigate the spread of illness! it should be normal to wear a mask in public when you don’t feel well even if it’s not about saving anybody’s life!!!!! why would you mock that
or- and this will blow too many minds, for reasons that depress me deeply-
THEY CARE ABOUT OTHER PPL

These people aren't masking for shits and giggles- they are the immunocompromised, elderly, and others who are, or believe themselves to be, particularly vulnerable to infections of airborne viruses such as sars-cov-2, influenza, etc.

🧵also the protection u get will not necessarily be "no flu" but is well worth having bc= "way better chance of no hospital/death"
also also, wearing a mask plus ventilating indoor spaces plus cleaning hands +surfaces scrupulously helps prevent ANY illness spread by air +touch

What this means on a practical level is that you're more likely to get the flu than some past years and if you haven't had your flu shot it is not too late, and you should not be deterred by references to "misalignment" - it is still "aligned" enough to protect you and your kids.

We know that birds can sense magnetic fields for navigation. But how does that work?
Do they have little magnets wired up to their brains?
The most likely answer is 1000X times weirder than that, and involves quantum spin.
