Yikes, this group of artists and the doctor needed to brush up on 21st century infection control measures...I mean how ignorant of the gravity of the virus can y'all be?

A failure of messaging from the governments, a failure of regulations (which people may not like but they are protective).

It takes a lot of work for virologists and infectious disease docs to get the data out there. Huge summer surge; long covid persists, Paxlovid works. Test, test, test. Isolate, masks.

Very sad.

We in the Western US have high wastewater levels currently of covid, RSV, noro virus, and seasonal influenza. I don't venture inside stores without a mask.

Most physicians parrot the wrong ideas. They're trained to comply and those are the orders they get. The average person has no chance of being informed when most of the experts they hear from or ask directly tell them the wrong things.

And even when it comes to true experts, people specialized in this stuff, there's still a significant % who, for some reason, this makes sense to them and they are willing to go out and say it publicly. Again and again.

Hell, the worst of this group of ideologues are about to be in total control of US health policy and budget, and this will spill over to international institutions, although it's not as if they did much good here. The WHO was instrumental in dismissing airborne transmission, and even though they sometimes tell the truth, you have to really pay attention to know it because they say both versions.
