*nobody...should come within fifty miles of anyone in the White House (for a while)
Also considering the number of octogenarians in the Senate and all the travel and how many people they meet they should have a regular testing program too (along with masks and distancing). It’s just common sense.
Somehow this 👆🏻 is a hyperpartisan liberal cuck issue because #2020
average age of death from COVID was 57 in the Kaiser database of healthcare workers khn.org/news/dying-you…
So mask up

Mike Pence the head of the coronavirus task force leading a non-socially-distanced low masking rally at the largest retirement community in the US has to be peak #2020 (at least it is outdoors)
*Remembers the utter scandal on UK twitter when one minister drove his kid and visited his elderly parents when he was supposed to be in lockdown* (I think, I didn’t entirely follow what was happening)
If my parents lived there I can guarantee you some tersely worded phone calls and warnings about indoor public dining.

Anti-maskers are so weird, like is a doctor supposed to contract every disease to make them stronger? I have tuberculosis and HepC and 12 rhinoviruses
They also invoke an anti-fragile Taleb argument having never read Taleb regarding masks. medium.com/incerto/the-ma…
The paleo folks can be the worst anti-vax, anti-maskers...modern infectious diseases are Neolithic my dears. They had parasites in hunter-gatherer times, not swine flu.

It was interesting yesterday to see an epidemiologist make a calculation whereas a clinician would think about the same scenario exactly backwards.
A clinician would see an adult with likely unilateral conjunctivitis and hypothesize a certain pre-test probability for COVID and use that plus the known sensitivity/specificity of the test to estimate the accuracy of the test.
The epidemiologist calculated the negative test into a starting risk number and then ran an equation about unilateral conjunctivitis and population risk of having COVID.
