Wow so let’s recap:
- PCR to enter with an access wristband tied to - result
- HEPA air cleaners in every room
- Possibly amped up ventilation
- UVGI/Far-UVC
- Masks at some events

Aka exactly what we have proposed for schools/conferences/workplaces. Because COVID is not over!
We have been screaming this from the rooftops. I never want to hear that any of these things don’t work or somehow make COVID worse. I don’t want to hear about vaccine only strategies. The debate is over. Let’s make this happen for the public!
@WHO @Davos please put these COVID safety protocols out publicly. It is time to make the statement clearly for the public: “COVID is airborne, COVID is not over, here are the tools to fight airborne transmission.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about changing attitudes about smoking in our society and parallels to COVID and surprisingly, I feel somewhat optimistic. Given the timeline from: 1/5
The rise of its ubiquity (early 1800s), scientists connecting smoking to lung cancer (1900), tobacco companies acknowledging it internally (1952), but only 1/3 of doctors thought it was definitive (1960), to mass acknowledgement (1990s) and bans inside (2003 in Canada) 2/5
I’d say we’ve gone from 1800 to 1960 in 3 years. The evidence is mounting that COVID is harmful long-term. The standards for buildings and shared spaces are changing. Behaviour follows. 3/5

Sorry… do people think that COVID transmission is tied to how boring your life is? For the record, it’s actually airborne. It travels like smoke in the air. Whether or not you socialize doesn’t really have anything to do with it. You have to breathe in virus expelled by others.
You can socialize digitally or outdoors or in places with good ventilation or wearing respirators and that’s pretty low transmission. Not attending concerts unfortunately will not lower your risk if you go to places where you can breathe in the virus.
COVID transmission is not related to how many times you eat at restaurants, but if there is someone with COVID who was there and you breathed in the virus they exhaled. COVID doesn’t really care if you wanted to eat at restaurants more than you did. It’s a virus

You are living through a pandemic that is a mass disabling event, a climate crisis, an economic crisis and probably a world war, all while the majority of people are like, “I can’t handle this so I’m going to ignore this in a way that makes these problems worse!” So, go you.
It’s exhausting to have 100-year events happening monthly *and* pay attention to that happening!
(If you’re a person reading this and are like, “No we aren’t!” I have bad news for you…)

NGL, I *would* actually like a little more fear and panic about COVID among the general public ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Should we be worried about XBB.1.5 aka Kraken?” Yeah, probably wouldn’t hurt!
“Should you be concerned about the new COVID variant?” I mean… yes!

This next week, as folks plan and prepare to meet and negotiate interaction with families in the midst of a disaster that many refuse to acknowledge exists, will be some of the hardest days. For me, I ground myself in these things: 1/
I know I’m doing what I can to keep my family healthy and to avoid the stress and trauma of needing care that may not be available. I can look my friends with CEV kids in the eye and know I am doing what I can to not make the precarity of their situation worse 2/
I know that my actions are based in care for myself and my own capacity to address ongoing situations as someone experiencing multiple chronic illnesses and for my community of people who also are trying to survive through these things. 3/
