What’s worse for our mental health, wearing masks or knowing that 90% of everyone around you doesn’t care if you die.

The National Covid Memorial Wall lit up this evening for a day of reflection and remembrance, a year after the first heart was painted. Just the number of hearts and tributes, it hits you every time.

Not sure if its common knowledge yet, but there’s a growing consensus that being a potato for 6 weeks post Covid can help prevent Long Covid. As in, do not exercise, do not push yourself, do not add inflammation to an already inflamed system. Just chill.

Weird how COVID is over and yet I personally know more people with it than at any time in the entire pandemic

People questioning whether testing positive for a potentially deadly or disabling disease, keeping it a secret, and then showing up at an industry social gathering unmasked should be a career-ending offense and, yes. That person is almost certainly unsafe in numerous other ways.

Delivery guy tried to tell me corona was gone and that I don’t need to wear a mask so I told him there were 30,000 new cases yesterday. He asked if I meant in China, and I said no, here in the Netherlands, but then when he left I checked and I was wrong.

I used the number from the weekend, which was out of date, it was 42,000 new cases yesterday. The false impression that everything’s fine now is making me feel like I’m insane.

Can we stop with this "Why are people still wearing masks even after mandates have been dropped?” thing? Maybe they love the way an N95 gently cradles the contours of their face. Or maybe they're worried about still being in a GODDAMN PANDEMIC.

MIT no longer has a mask requirement. Our research group discussed whether to keep masks on for indoor meetings so that everyone feels comfortable attending. Today, an email from the Vice Chancellor says that’s not allowed.

omg I am SHOCKED that covid cases are rising after restrictions and masks have been removed like this is CRAZY who could ever have predicted it

ely kreimendahl (@ElyKreimendahl)Tue, 15 Mar 2022 15:25 GMT

Just a PSA, if you see a stranger wearing a mask in public, you do not need to remind them they don’t have to wear a mask. We know. And we’re still masking. The reasons why may be different but we all know we are no longer required by the state to do so, ok? So you can hush now.

Sami Schalk (@DrSamiSchalk)Mon, 14 Mar 2022 22:20 GMT

Anyone else feel like they’re being gaslit into thinking the pandemic is over? I mean, COVID is still out there right? It didn’t vanish overnight, right?

unfortunately, I'm afraid what's gonna happen is that, if you continue wearing a mask when most people around you have stopped, the cognitive dissonance you cause for them re: whether the pandemic is truly over or not is going to turn into anger (directed at you) right quick

Michelle Allison (@fatnutritionist)Sun, 06 Mar 2022 00:31 GMT

We don’t need any more commentators agonizing over why people are still (!!) wearing masks. It’s to avoid getting sick. Even if I’m 99.9% sure I’ll survive (not everyone is!), maybe I don’t wanna get sick? Or make others sick? Not wanting to get sick is actually very normal!

I say this seriously and it is not a contested statement: the new CDC guidance is predicated on the assumption that you are *entirely okay* with catching Covid and passing it on to others. If you are NOT okay with that, you’re just a footnote in the new guidance.

Dropping in-flight masking even as we enter the second decade of x-raying our shoes and putting shampoo in tiny bottles would be just a perfect metaphor for everything wrong with American policymaking

just a glimpse into how my life has changed since getting covid: the chair I now use to shower. lifting my arms above my shoulders while standing is so strenuous I nearly pass out which is dangerous since I live alone. this at least makes it so I can get thru a shower

What a difference it would make if COVID mitigation measures were referred to as “protections” in the media vs. “restrictions”.

Oni Blackstock MD MHS (@oni_blackstock)Fri, 11 Feb 2022 19:02 GMT

Actually, yeah, I would rather wear a mask for a few more months if it means I'm less likely to accidentally kill someone's grandma. This isn't complicated.

“I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify," Joni Mitchell wrote. "Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.” bit.ly/3ub1Dkk

Variety (@Variety)Sat, 29 Jan 2022 03:30 GMT

#NeilYoung almost died of polio as a kid. The vaccine didn’t exist when he was born. The illness affected his life for years. He doesn’t want others to similarly suffer due to misinformation. Media is missing that detail when discussing his protest of Spotify’s irresponsibility.

You long for crowded bars full theaters sweaty dancehalls and noisy restaurants but the normal you miss that you ache for is not a physical location it was the peace of mind you had when you believed your society could manage a pandemic that is a normal to which you cannot return

Has Covid-19 forced you to wear a mask and glasses at the same time? You may be entitled to condensation.

czarcasm (@triniliciousd)Tue, 11 Jan 2022 16:15 GMT

Jewish tradition teaches that if you save a life it is as though you have saved the world. Wearing a mask may save the life of a complete stranger. What a simple way to make a tremendous difference.
