A lot of people are surprised with today's CDC guidelines. But the writing was on the wall when governments across the West gave up on Omicron in Jan. They bet big on infection-based immunity as the solution. It didn't work, but they're still betting on it anyway, 8 months later.
What we have instead is a humiliating surrender, to both the virus and to the vocally ignorant. We risk our health and the continuity of our society because we can't meet the scientific and political challenge before us.
This megathread outlines the complex immunology arguments that @fitterhappierAJ has been screaming about for 2 years. Our immune system just can't beat SARS2 on its own. It's not going to work.
Every wave and variant keeps proving this point.

Very happy to report rapid growth of @theRavenApp's CO2 map! 450 new users in the last 2 days, and lots of new readings across Canada, the US, Australia, NZ and Costa Rica!
Check it out at ravenapp.org/cleanair
#CovidCO2 #CO2Warriors #CO2Guerillas Image
More than 120 locations have been added to the map now, and already we are seeing insights that already show serious issues that need to be addressed. For instance... Image
Readings taken in Toronto's transit system show consistently high CO2 levels in subway and streetcars. Are these vehicles using HEPA filters? Without masks, viral spread is more likely to riders. Image

Thanks to everyone who joined the live stream and Twitter Spaces for the debut of the CleanAir Map!
You can access it two ways:
ravenapp.org/cleanair
cleanairmap.map
Already seeing a lot of points being added in the last 24hs or so!
Some quick tips how to quickly log in and start adding points. The map is worldwide, anyone anywhere can add a CO2 reading.
There are lots of bugs, and if you run into any, please email us a screenshot at admin@ravenapp.org and we'll try to fix them quickly.
This is from the Youtube stream if you want some of the backstory behind the app and a video tutorial of how to input coordinates

"Monkeypox is not an STI; it may have started that way in the West, but it won't stay that way"
"What is our Smallpox vaccine stockpile looking like?"
"Just like the early days of Covid, now is the time to nip this in the bud."
as told to @CTVNews

While direct contact between mucuous membranes (like in sexual contact) has been the predominant route now, there has been documented spread from surfaces and possibly airborne as well:
Precautions I imagine will end up being similar as for Covid, but will likely need a return to more surface cleaning. The EPA keeps a list of cleaning agents that are effective against Tier 1 pathogens like Monkeypox:

You can watch the YouTube live stream here:
If you want to join the moderation team, get involved in our Whatsapp/Discord forums, and generally try to promote the cause of good ventilation, register here and we'll get you plugged in: docs.google.com/forms/d/1q902k…

I go over with @Candace_Global some strategies you can take in these stressed times to get the medical care you need.
For emergencies, do not delay getting checked out. We will always try our best to see and assess you.
Good planning might save you some headache later.
Check if you have an Urgent Care Centre in your region, these are quasi-ERs that can do lab tests, ultrasound, CT scans, and generally work faster since they don't fill up with ambulance patients.
Check if your local ER has virtual options. These can handle simple cases, expedite tests, paperwork stuff, or help connect with specialists. Hospitals in Toronto have set up a portal for this:
