One @ivory feature I wish could be native to Mastodon: “Filter user from home” … in order to add an account to a list you have to follow it (unlike Twitter), but I follow a lot of news & other topic-specific accounts I would prefer to only see in lists vs home feed.

My wife and I text each other a lot. I mean like, even when home together, like a lot. And I just wanna brag that our meme/gif-reply game has reached Olympic levels of excellence. If there were a competition, we would kick all the other couples’ asses. Just putting that out there.

"Doctors must have adequate protection at work," says Fearnley. "SARS-CoV-2 is airborne. It is outrageous that three and a half years into this pandemic, staff and patients are still, knowingly and repeatedly, being exposed to a level 3 biohazard." https://mstdn.social/@erictopol/111099912707584904

It’s good to see the government providing covid tests again, but I wish they’d also educate the populace better about what those test results mean & how best to use them. Otherwise the tests aren’t that helpful.

Frustratingly, this article and others like it are already two years old … and all that’s happened is WHO and CDC have quietly updated website copy to reflect these factors, but no substantial announcements or strongly updated guidelines.
Hence the vague in-between we currently experience, where most people have no clue.

How the medical community screwed up re aerosol infection science — highly recommended read … informative on covid but also how social dynamics can vastly distort what becomes scientific consensus (https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/)

“You can see that the idea of what is respirable, what stays airborne, and what is infectious are all being flattened into this 5-micron phenomenon…Over time, through blind repetition, the error sank deeper into the medical canon.”
