BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): Boula got COVID-19 again.

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): Anyway one possibility is for CDC to reduce the waiting period between SARSCoV2 infection and boosting to 3 weeks after antigen clearance, for people who got Pax and remained mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic. 3 weeks is just to make sure all virus [... want %more?] → https://twitter.com/michaelzlin/status/157386100773416140804:27
BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): In the future if someone gets COVID and takes Pax, and are due for a strain-matched booster, we could consider giving them that booster at the same time.

LjLso, covidiots:21:15
LjLi'm italian so i went to vote today, and i wore an Aura, and almost nobody else was wearing a mask, even though they were "strongly recommended" by the government (last time, they were mandatory)21:15
LjLi already had heard rumors last time we voted of being asked to take off your mask, and i was already imagining scenarios where i'd be shouting at the police21:16
LjLno such thing happened, but21:16
LjLwhile i was leaving without incident, some guy behind me said something like "i told the president he must ask him to take his mask off! otherwise he can vote with his transit ticket, wait no that has no photo (?)... just one second, i said, you must have him take the mask off"21:17
LjLand i was close to turning around and telling him exactly how he was an idiot in various ways, but instead i said out loud "yeah it's not clear at all what kind of party this one voted for" while keeping walking21:17
LjLour ID have tiiiny grayscale pictures, it makes no difference whether i have a mask or not, lol, if they wanted to make SURE a human can match me to my ID, they'd have kept the old IDs with full color photos instead of tiny ones printed in black ink21:18
LjLgiven the government we're sure to get, this sort of thing is only bound to get much worse, anyway. and our numbers are already going back up *again*21:19
