It is not even halfway through the second week of classes and the number of students I know of testing positive for COVID is VERY HIGH.

@Wolven the number of positive tests in my bigger network and seeing our student gatherings is freaking me the fuck out

@Wolven Is there any rule against having a stack of N95s in your class for people to use? If they did it might help, if only by decreasing the vectors you are exposed to

@Wolven My wife is a nursing professor, also at the start of a new semester.The school where she teaches, and the hospital where she takes students, want her and her students to stop wearing masks because it worries others. š”

Covid tests and vaccines never should have stopped being free. High quality N95 masks should have been and should still be free. We should have rallied together and built something stronger and better and not let fear and political shills who wanted power and a quick buck divide us.The people who knowingly and willfully politicized and weaponized COVID disinformation should, at the absolute least, step on a Lego or get a cat hair lodged in their sinuses, every day, for the rest of their lives.They should never again know joy or peace until they admit what they did.

@nuncio Okay? That's nice for you? I have taught at 6 universities in three states since 2006 and our fall semesters have Very Often started before labor day.Coming into my mentions to tell me I don't know what I know is really fucking rude and honestly pretty messed up. Maybe don't do that to me or anyone else, EVER again, okay? Goodbye.

@Wolven All vaccines should be free. The U.S. is a bizarre place (viewed from the rest of the rich world).

@Wolven I add my voice and a fervent prayer that they develop sufficient boils on their bums that they can never sit comfortably till they have made restitution of these wrongs.

@Wolven @BlackAzizAnansi Whatās wild to me is, all this happened with Biden in the White House. He won the election In part because of Drumpfās disasterous response, outside of Operation Warp Speed. Take a deep breath and imagine the discourse if it were trump that let the free testing, masks all go away. No real action on air filtration in public places, schools, etc. The dirty secret no liberal wants to discuss.

@Wolven @BlackAzizAnansi My circle is very āat least it isnāt Drumpfā and pretty sensitive about criticizing Biden. Iām also referring to the tone in print articles and social media, as I donāt watch news at all and usually skip the posted clips. Is MSM being critical of the lack of free testing, lack of adequate free masks, and lack of serious air filtration upgrades? Maybe Iām just not seeing it.

@Wolven So close... not quite there. Replace "Covid Tests" with "Healthcare" and "free" with "Tax Funded" and the world gets so much better.

@Wolven I was surrounded by a family reunion cluster in July and August. We probably would have contained it better if it didnāt cost $12 every time you wanted to test. One of my teens missed out of a big trip this summer due to catching it and I think they probably got it from someone on a Paxlovid rebound. With more frequent testing we could have identified the rise in infectiousness rather than assuming they were in that day 6-10 ok to be around people if masked phase.

@Wolven The thing about vaccines (if Dr Williams will excuse a layperson pontificating) is that they're largely a public good (like parks or clean water), not personal protection.Vaccines (like masks) don't usually provide 100% protection: you need the people around you also to be vaccinated, and the people around them to be vaccinated, etc, for them to work.That's why even fiscal conservatives should support free vaccines: they make for a healthier, wealthier population.#publicHealth

@Wolven @smooz But people keep electing Republicans in enough numbers to allow them to ensure the funding and legislation wonāt be forthcoming for at least another couple of years. Until enough people vote better. Weāre all stuck.
