I just assume they have Covid or just getting over it. If it’s a worker who I have never witnessed wearing a mask before I stay clear of them.

And your point? cities massively dominate the county they are in.
I’ve been going to a hospital 2x a week for physical therapy for like the last 6 weeks. They recently made masks optional about 2 weeks ago and almost no one is wearing them anymore.
I went to a hospital lab today, and the phlebotomist wasn’t masked, although I was.
Gonna be honest. I did think of covid for the first time in a long while when I started coughing and having perceived allergy issues a few days ago.
Turns out that it’s probably just having a fan blowing directly on me as I sleep at night is drying me out. Because I’m fine all of a sudden that I’m sleeping elsewhere.
Definite uptick in the US too.

Putting COVID aside, I can’t believe you’re so casual about risking Fan Death.

I lived in South Korea when I first heard of it and laughed in a woman’s face when she said it thinking that she was joking.
She wasn’t.
Apparently it’s okay so long as you keep a window open.
It’s been a while since I’ve read a good article about COVID but this one from Canada’s national broadcaster is a good summary of where we’re at. It’s not super in depth or anything but answered, for example, my recent question about if we should be getting another round of vaccines soon.

Spotted this one today. Stupid anti-vaxxers.
Yikes. My daughter got her first vax in March 2021, baby born in April. I did not know about the stillbirth thing. Glad she and her obstetrician went ahead, though her odds of catching Covid then were close to zero. They had a very small, very careful pod. I had to drive 8 hours to get my shots in Ohio so I could meet the baby after she was born.
Has had another since. Normal number of fingers and toes on both. The 5G at their house is fantastic.

My wife had a miscarriage at 4 months, 2 weeks after getting her booster. She had a subchorionic hemorrhage 2 days after the booster.

New Covid variant detected causing concern among scientists
It is currently unclear if BA.2.86 causes more severe disease than those that came before, or whether it will take off and become the dominant form of the virus.
But its many genetic changes – it has more than 30 mutations in the spike protein relative to the current predominant variant – and its detection in several countries, has put scientists on alert.

Saw an ex co worker post about wear his AIR helmet on a plane for protection and had to look it up. Cannot believe I hadn’t seen these ITT:
