The silence is deafening on COVID.
The plan is to keep people in the dark.
If you still wear a mask. If you still protect yourself and others. If you test. If you stay home when you are sick. If you still acknowledge that #CovidIsNotOver - you are a candle.

I wore one of these when I hoovered my children's bedroom today.
I have loads of them, because I wear them when I teach. But I don't always remember to wear them when doing the hoovering.
Even though it says "dust mask" on the box.

My job is full-time in-person, so I don't know much about working from home, or hybrid working.
But today I attended a meeting remotely. As my travel time was zero, I was able to do my job better.
WFH & hybrid working is not going away.

Daniel Willingham is Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia.
I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Manchester.
I'd like to propose a new phenomenon - called "The Willingham-Wildflower Effect".
It's a cognitive bias. @dtwuva.bsky.social 🧵

Plus LOTS of visiting school students in reasonable masks.

People don't want to talk to me about COVID.
Perhaps something puts them off.
But when they do, what they tell me is “I'm sick more often”, & “Colds hit me harder - I'm in bed. Before, I could come to work.”
What do I say next?🧵

“Rolling Stone” hasn't been cool for a VERY long time, and I'm pretty sure it's not read by children.
But eventually, COVID will be discussed in places children can see.
