Herd immunity seems like a simple concept - vaccination (ideally) or mass infection & the population is protected because a given pathogen has run out of susceptible hosts. Unfortunately, several leaders have erroneously chased herd immunity for SARS2. Several problems: (1/7) 1. The concept of herd immunity is best applied to long-lived immunity. It doesn't really do any good if you reach herd immunity if everyone becomes susceptible to infection again in say, 6-8 months...SARS2 immunity to infection/severe outcomes does not appear long-lived.

Preliminarily it appears as though SARS2 variant JN.1 will be worse than most suspected, myself included. I'm sorry folks. Stay safe.

It occurred to me that many people do not see or understand how SARS2 impacts productivity or productive effort. As someone who works in an Engineering role that integrates with many functions in my job, allow me to shed some light on it from my perspective. Short🧵 Image Feel like it's not getting done like it used to? Well, it's not. Ppl are feeling the impacts of the last 3 years - whether they acknowledge it or not. Does this sound familiar? "John is taking care of that but he's out," or "Jane was in that area, but she's been sick all week."

#XBB15 is really quite something. It is now 66% of all samples in US. All samples is a relative term though as the amount of genomic surveillance has dropped a great deal. Suffice it to say there's a lot of this variant in circulation now. (1/4) Showing modest gains in all regions, but 4, 5, 6, and 9 have definitely increased in share to dominance over last week. NE is showing a sustained dominance. Noteworthy, recently cases started increasing again in that region. (2/4)

The #mask argument has become a situation that's out of control. A thread 🧵

One side, people argue that they work and will bring the pandemic under control - just wear them! The other side, people argue they don't work - They're ridiculous for aerosols! (1/11) Here's the problem, and why it is so polarizing - they're both right (and both wrong).

Confused? So is just about everyone (I even make these mistakes - guilty).

It is a false dichotomy. Arguing about masks will only continue to be divisive and is unproductive. (2/x)

I see a lot of people saying, "Why impeach, it's only 2 weeks?"

No, it's not. The Former Presidents Act is also on the line. He would lose pension, access to briefings, other benefits, etc.

I can think of no single person less deserving of these things than Trump. Thank you all for the Likes, RT, and comments. It's great knowing of so many like-minded ppl out there!

Since you dropped by, please be safe with the #COVID19 pandemic. Mask, distance, take care of each other. Do it for HCW's.

I wear my mask for you and you wear 1 for me, deal?
