Sad reminder from fb memories. Two years ago, I thought I could retire my masks, except maybe for planes. Then I got N95s when Delta came. Now, two years after joyfully planning to "retire" my masks I am thinking they are forever for me. Maybe some day I can go back to those 85% Atoms masks?

Frontline always does a good job with its scores; #CoronavirusPandemic (2020) is no exception. What was most notable to me were the echoes of the music from #Contagion. Have a listen to the opening of the 2011 films and its low eerie soundscape, then listen to the background of the documentary. I do not think the similarities were coincidental!

As Year 4 of the coronavirus pandemic approaches, many doctors agree the overlapping viral surges and how they are playing out are unusual and concerning: Patients with back-to-back respiratory illnesses. Simultaneous infection with three or more viruses, or with bacterial infections, such as Strep A. Otherwise healthy people suffering for weeks, rather than days, with simple colds.
