I think we need proof of this

I'd say the content itself serves nearly zero purpose for 99% of the population.

But the way it's presented is purely meant to create fear and anxiety. The account itself is designed to scare people.

Fear is a terrible messaging strategy for public health. It does more harm than good.

Could be entirely animal sources...

Gonna give it more and more time. Every tweet from Elon seems to reduce my interest in being there.

On tea, Davidsons yunnan black is my favorite straight black tea currently. And their ceylon op black is what I mix with hibiscus.

Extremely cheap tea, but I enjoy more than some very expensive teas

For a non caffeine 'tea' I quite love ginger lemongrass. Sounds fairly similar to yours.

I've been really enjoying a mix of a very intense black tea with dried hibiscus at a 1:1 ratio. Both 1 tbls per 18oz.

I make multiple cups each morning now.

So you can throw ad nominems then? Apologize.

If you think that's an ad nominem then please never interact in the real world. It's dramatically more direct and hard than that.

I'll leave you in your anxiety.

It's not confirmed. It's unknown still if there was animal contact. Your irrational anxiety is exactly what I said the tweet would cause. Thanks for proving my point

And?

This type of tweet is neither breaking nor helpful. It just causes people to panic without any real information. It's akin to yelling fire in a crowded building. It's meant to cause fear, not inform.

The design issues are also called "the real world". Yes intervention that should work in theory often fail when they encounter human behavior and cost/manpower issues.

Not necessarily no. Not if the money can be spent in other ways for larger end results.

You're literally explaining why filtration, as we try to do it in 2024, fails. The study is just the messenger.

Doesn't look like Adelaide... 😜

I've always used the term mobility to describe why flu basically died but covid didn't.

Human mobility dropped around 70%. That brought Reff under 1 for flu, not Covid19.

I wonder if the same drop in mobility would do similar to covid, now, with 2024 levels of immunity. Likely not as much still.

We reduced death and severe disease by multiple orders of magnitude. It's now riskier for almost the entire population to drive a car, even with seat belts airbags and breaks.

The risk of death and long term issues are dramatically lower now.

My guess is you don't know just how low the risk is.

It's possible a few were the same, just viral shedding.

Basically impossible to get a true reinfection in that period.

In Australia they'd genomically sequence things like this. Basically all were the same infection.
