Treating human beings like dangerous animals is a new take on "practicing Catholic."
Thank God former Pope Francis did his best to curb the power and influence of Opus Dei. Too many wacko conservative Catholics involved in U.S. politics.

Sadly, the CA governor is just one member of that board.

Yeah, but the UC president and Board of Regents seem anxious to join the league of Vichy universities and make a deal with the Trump administration. The UCLA and UC faculty assoc case went all the way to the CA Supreme Court before they would share the detailed extortion request received in August.

And yes: far-UVC germicidal light is one of the most promising tools we have.
Clean air is the seatbelt of the 21st century.
We could’ve prevented so much suffering simply by telling people the truth about how the virus moves.

A regime of avaricious, cruel goons isn't the same thing as a "fascist state," and the fact that they have to go to court, fight it out in state elections and legislatures, cower from being filmed (instead of filming *you*) means everything.
Recognize this. Don't surrender to your fears.

The NYT pitch bot could not do better. The Times is a cariacature of itself.

The arrogance (and ignorance) of this grifting official takes my breath away. FDR had plenty of signature policies that the Court was happy to tank.

So true. The article is based on forensic research into how the CDC became fixated on droplet transmission in the 30s because its first leader thought areosol transmission sounded too much like the air miasma idea of the Greeks! I remain astounded by people's ignorance about Covid transmission.

Did you read the article in Wired (1st or 2nd yr of pandemic) about how the CDC became fixated on droplet (not aerosol transmission)? One part of the article revealed that a mechanical engineer in the 1930s figured out that UV light killed something like 95% of measles transmission in schools.

For sure.
But if every school can have a policy to protect those with a peanut allergy (1-4%), we can do something for the 8.2% of children with Long Covid (and climbing every day) and the 100% who are susceptible, who didn’t consent to having their lifespan cut in half or being sentenced to bed.
