COVID test hacks:

🧪 Administer at >13 C, store at >1 C
🧪 Don't eat, drink, smoke, vape, chew gum 30 min before test
🧪 Use nasal + oral swab to ⬆️ sensitivity
🧪 Continue testing for first 5 days of exposure/symptoms
🧪 Assume positive = contagious (even if line is faint!)
🧪 COVID tests show gradation of viral load

Once infected:
Viral replication ➡️ peak viral load ➡️ viral load is no longer at infectious levels only when you no longer test positive - continue testing until two negative COVID tests 24h apart)

H/t @neurotheory @AryehCohen

How to hide a pandemic in plain sight: A four step plan

🧵with 🇨🇦 receipts
Step 1) Get rid of masks

Remove all mask mandates (including in health care settings 😬) and 🚮 millions worth of (taxpayer funded) N95s AND lock up more millions worth of respirators in warehouses… with even more millions worth of storage fees 💸💸

Step 2) Decrease the populations eligible for a COVID booster to only those at increased risk of serious outcomes as deemed by NACI

How will coronavirus change the world?

“Times of upheaval are always times of radical change. Some believe the pandemic is a once-in-a-generation chance to remake society and build a better future. Others fear it may only make existing injustices worse.”
- Peter C Baker
“But disasters and emergencies do not just throw light on the world as it is. They also rip open the fabric of normality. Through the hole that opens up, we glimpse possibilities of other worlds.”
- Peter C Baker
“The pessimistic view is that a crisis makes bad things worse. People who study disasters – and especially pandemics – know all too well their tendency to inflame xenophobia and racial scapegoating.”
- Peter C Baker
