Dr. Al-Aly also notes the cost to run the office is "peanuts" compared to the estimated $3.7 trillion cost of Covid to the U.S. economy 🧮

I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.

On the cutting room floor is the bit where the host introduced their interview series, The Interview, and I asked how long it took to come up with the name. Anyway, here’s me talking about birds and science and burnout and moving through the world. The photo’s nice! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

“Dr. Jeremy Faust, ER Physician, teaches at Harvard Medical School noted that that the Trump-ordered “Make America Healthy Again Commission” did not even mention the two chief causes of U.S. children’s deaths — firearms and automobiles.” A must read from @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Incredible PSA from OITNB’s Matt McGorry and @nychealthy.bsky.social — this is the info everyone deserves! Setting the record straight on four myths about COVID! “Myth #1: COVID is mild now. Fact #1: With every COVID-19 infection, there is a risk of Long COVID.” (1/5)
