I am dismayed by the people, including leaders, who are treating #Omicron as "mild" & therefore not a big deal ignoring the unvaccinated & unboosted, long covid, at risk groups and that it is not "mild" for everyone, just on average has less severe effects to the vaccinated
See for example this thread from @IanRicksecker for some more details

When I was a senior at @harvard in 1990 I started an "Environmental Issues" journal as part of activities leading to the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. I hoped to get EO Wilson to be our faculty sponsor. I phoned his office and arranged a meeting with him via his assistant 1/n
I figured, with a prof. like him this would be a very brief meeting. But instead I got to his office, and there was Wilson, and he was so excited about something. He had a new book out on Ants he wanted to show me. And we looked it over for like an hour. 2/n
Then, he took me on a tour of his lab (I think he showed me ant colonies and other ant things). And then we sat down for another hour and discussed Earth Day and student activism and other environmental issues. And yes, he agreed to be the faculty sponsor of the journal. 3/n

I went out early this am to go for a walk at #yolobypass ..

It was quite chilly but very nice
Best part - saw a short eared owl - not from close so pics not great but still very cool - my 1st this year inaturalist.org/observations/1…
Also got nice view of a peregrine falcon flying above looking for a snack inaturalist.org/observations/1…

The goats of a Christmas, passed
And yes, I did just go out for a drive around #DavisCA looking for goats in order to make this joke ...
I note - I was all decked out in my Christmas themed outfit (alas, trimmed my large beard a few weeks ago to get a better mask fit thanks to pointers from @CorsIAQ) - but it was raining so hard I did not get out of my car to do a selfie with the goats

Well, from what I can tell, most people, institutions & officials in the USA are in denial regarding the oncoming tidal wave of Omicron infections that are (1) already happening & (2) will soon massively increase. Come on everyone - we need to slow this down.
1. Limit indoor gatherings.
2. Especially stop maskless indoor activities. JFC people.
3. If you have to be indoors w/ people outside your household: ventilate, filter, mask.
4. Boost
5. Test early and often.
6. Quarantine w/ any hints of exposure / symptoms.
Sadly, a huge part of the problem is vaccinated folks thinking they cannot contribute to COVID spread. Well, this concept was wrong in May when the CDC pushed it. and it was wrong in July and it is really fu#(!@( wrong now.

Just donated to @inaturalist. Incredibly grateful to the people behind it and the people who participate in it. It is an incredible community and also has helped me have something positive to focus on every day during the pandemic.

inaturalist.org/donate?utm_cam…
I made the donation in memory of my father Howard Eisen & wrote

"I am incredibly grateful to the people who run iNaturalist and the people who contribute to it. iNaturalist has become a way of life for me. I have posted observations for every day for the last ~ two years." 1/2 I am incredibly grateful to the people who run iNaturalist
Comment pt2

"It serves as a record of my Nature outings & also a way to engage a broader community in Nature observations. And, this has helped me immensely during the pandemic giving me something to focus on that is not the pandemic. Thanks again for all the great work."

2/2
