Facebook is full of AI slop. X is full of “free thinkers” peddling conspiracies. Google’s search results are telling us to eat rocks. More and more, it feels like the internet has gone bad.

Hello Bluesky! We’re Applied Epi! What do we want? To improve Applied Epidemiology worldwide! When do we want it? Well probably in an achievable timeframe that doesn’t completely destroy a much needed and already existing infrastructure that is overburdened!

Here a few thoughts about social media.
It seems as if we may be moving into the post-social media era.

There will continue to be people there who will shout and scream for a while.

I am getting fed up with people bickering over LC. It exists, it is bad, and it needs solutions and treatments. What it does not need is unfair comparisons. What I mean is that we cannot compare incidence during a pandemic with incidences of endemic infections.

Just for fun, I took @JWeiland’s (Twitter) wastewater-to-infections calibration and asked:
How often on average are people infected with covid in the US?
Is the rate increasing or decreasing?
