To be blunt: if you are doing anything at all right now to reduce your risk of infection from SARS-CoV-2, you're being smart. As a result of the current high prevalence of flu, masking is back in the media. Ignore anything negative said about it. Political nonsense is irrelevant.

OMG!
Get your flu vaccine, wear a N95 in high risk situations and clean your air because food doesn’t protect you against a virus.

Sometimes I imagine what it would have been like had we adapted to Covid instead of giving up.
If we had clean air in public spaces.
Respirators in healthcare.
Free masks for those who need them.
Better tests & treatment.

It was six years ago today that a man in Wuhan, China began feeling ill.
He would become the first known COVID case.
Covid is still with us. It’s still killing and disabling.
Clean the air. Wear a mask. Get your boosters.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

I disagree.
Infection control should adopt the "Rocket Science" approach.
Why? Because Rocket Science doesn't revolve around randomized control trials and "evidence based" medicine.
Rocket Science is based on physics, engineering, chemistry, math, public experiments and risk management.
