“Magic curtains.”
HCW casually using this term and laughing about it.
Everyone knows the curtains don’t stop COVID-19.
But we are *causing* 1/7 of all C19 deaths in the state of NSW… and it’s all very amusing.

USA has lost 50 yrs of medical progress since Jan 20th 2025. CDC, once a beacon of health awareness, is now a lighthouse with a burned out light bulb. 🇺🇸 is doomed.
The US isn’t “at risk of losing” its measles elimination status. Just at risk of admitting it.
Canada lost its status earlier this month, and people treated it like an international embarrassment. But let’s be clear:
Canada still has functioning disease-surveillance. The US does not.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.
