Lifesaving information is the most valuable, so let’s charge through the nose for it. It’s the sort of cynicism that animates Project 2025.

My wife went to Sam’s Club and Trader Joe’s today.

She said she saw more masks than she’s seen in a while.

This was a liberal town but still, it’s nice to see.

Worth taking note, if you are thinking about measles, that anything less than N95 is completely useless. We just had a Zoom meeting about this. (Pediatricians do not have 7am on Monday meetings, to put this in perspective.)

We only wear 3M N95.

She said other people were wearing a mix of surgical and what appear to be N95.

I didn’t think of measles, I wonder if that’s the concern.

Yeah, you know it’s pretty easy to look back now, some 5 years later and be like “lol stupid libs got it all wrong!”. As @Docosc would repeatedly say back when COVID-19 was emerging, “WDKS!”.

People love to say, “well, Fauci said not to wear masks, therefore all your arguments are invalid” ignoring that this was to make sure healthcare providers had PPE and it was still thought fomites were primarily responsible for transmission. We learned more and guidance changed. Mistakes were made, but that’s what happens when you’re dealing with a lot of unknowns in a fast moving situation. You can’t get everything right all the time in that kind of environment.

It’s like science in general. Oh, scientists have changed their stance about X (after new facts became evident) therefore science is eternally wrong!

My wife took one of our cats to the vet today, it’s a pretty big practice.

She said almost the entire staff were wearing masks.

In the last year that hasn’t been the case.

I wonder why the change.
