I'm seeing most of my senior-citizen-age pals posting Halloween party pics on social media. These are folks who have for the most part been uber careful so far, but they are letting their hair down this weekend for some reason. It's puzzling. Waiting now for the next inevitable round of positive test pics. As for moi, I'm sticking with doing All The Things, N95 anywhere indoors that doesn't have HEPA units, and even outdoors if walking through a crowd, vaxxed and boosted, flu shot and keeping to myself. Hold the line folks, we're far from done here! I'm good with staying home. I have wine and snacks! 🍷🥓🍤🍫 https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/epidemiologist-jeremy-farrar-on-the-next-viral-threat-i-fear-we-are-at-the-beginning-of-an-era-of-pandemics-a-564b1dae-1c3d-4eb3-b76f-f3c5da6e8289
A couple I'm friends with just got on a plane and flew to NYC for a little holiday. Really hope they don't bring back the BQ version (that's kicking off there right now) on the return trip. FB pics from the subway with nobody masked on the platform, crammed into the train. Ugh. 😑
