I’m just a jobbing intensivist but if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this it’s best expressed as a 10 metre high neon sign saying ‘do what you normally do’ backlit by fireworks.
And the more I read stuff on here I’m inclined to wonder whether social media isn’t part of the COVID solution but driving the anthesis of the neon sign.
I’ve read about Perspex boxes and COVID phenotypes and fish tank decontaminants and some very strong opinions (because who doesn’t right now) on face mask fitting and remain mostly baffled at people changing established practices based on a tweet from someone they’ve never met.
And when this is over and done and the orange guy stops weirdly whispering about his new found expertise in evidence based madeupcine perhaps we could think about the weird shit we thought was cool but may have actually harmed people.
But of course we won’t. The management of COVID-25 will be entirely determined by learned TikToks from K-Pop teen sensations.
