Love to see the respirator but if we should mask in crowded indoor spaces like airports, what about schools and hospitals? They are crowded indoor spaces too
Traveling for the holidays? Stay well on your way by wearing a high-quality mask like an N95 in crowded indoor spaces like airports and planes. Also wash your hands frequently, cover your cough or sneeze, and avoid traveling if you’re sick.

Please stay home if you’re feeling sick.
If you absolutely can’t stay home, wear a mask.
There are people who can’t afford to get sick. People without paid time off, people who are disabled or immune compromised, people who are caregivers.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

As Vicky Pebsworth listed the groups she blames for the increase in HBV—gay men, promiscuous women, heroin users, Asian immigrants, and urban populations—it may be germane that she is a member of the National Association of Catholic Nurses.

Expert review finds delaying the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose would increase chronic infections in kids
Delaying the timing of vaccinating infants against hepatitis B — which ACIP could vote on later this week — would likely lead to more chronic infections in kids.

I’d add David Leonhardt and Emily Oster to the graf near the bottom listing supposedly reasonable mainstream people who made common cause with anti-vaxxers now destroying our health and medical infrastructure because Covid was distressing to them personally.
It *may* be dawning on the author of “In COVIDs Wake” that he’s done nothing but elevate MAHA/MAGA propaganda while faking being a “progressive.”
