Flu is at a record high, RSV, Noro, and yes still Covid are running rampant. There are pneumonia and TB outbreaks. Everyone seems to be miserably sick right now. Genuinely asking: is there ever a point where people will decide that masking is less inconvenient than constant illness?

Would love some clarity about air in LA given the rain. Everyone said we’d need a good rain before the air is better. But is it just *fixed* now or will it still take time? Ppl were saying it wouldn’t be safe for 1-2 years, with all the cleanup etc. How does the current rain factor in to all this?

I promise you, there is not a single friend of yours who masks who wouldn’t be thrilled if you put one on too when you’re with them, without having to ask. No need to guess or wonder if they’d appreciate it. 100% of the time, they appreciate it.

David Lynch’s death is a heartbreaking loss, but I think it’s important to remember he spent his last years unable to leave the house, because no one else took Covid precautions, and put him at terrible risk. Who are you harming with your refusal to care about others? variety.com/2024/film/ne...

It’s such a mindfuck to see ppl walk around in LA without masks because we KNOW the air is toxic. Even if the AQI is good, 9/11 showed us that the air was deadly even though officials said it was safe. It’s mind boggling to see people walking around like everything is normal🧵1/

LA people, if you’re masking outside for the air, please keep them on when you enter indoor public places. Covid is still circulating and hospitals are overwhelmed and we need to protect ourselves as much as possible right now. It’s all connected. Stay safe. I love you all.

Spending holidays in my gf’s hometown where *nobody* else masks. We were just in crowded grocery store and a stranger in a mask came up to us and said she was so happy to see us, that she feels like she stands out but her husband has cancer and she just can’t risk it 🧵 1/

Just watched a British tourist try to get into the drivers side of an Uber and the driver was like “um no” and the guy was “like oh bugger! Other side! Sorry bout that.” Then he got into the front seat right next to the driver.

I just realized in the Truman Show when Truman starts to figure out that everything is fake and his wife suddenly turns around and starts doing a commercial, it’s like on a live tv show when things go haywire and the producers are frantically like “cut to commercial”

Ugh Elphaba is so tragically misunderstood and overlooked. She is such a kind person and she has these amazing powers and she’s literally the best singer in the whole school by FAR. Like her voice is seriously SO good she could be on Broadway.

Many people think it’s absurd to be covid cautious, because you have to sacrifice so much. Why would anyone want to do that? But on the flip side, is it not absurd that people just willingly dive into the pools of covid in order to feel normal? And are seemingly enthusiastic to go back for more? 🧵1/

You couldn't make it up. The New York Times, so active in getting people repeatedly infected, slips out a quiet little article saying that Covid infections can raise the risk of heart problems for years. Can we please stop pretending? archive.md/eNWvM

When people who’ve masked for years manage to get covid, I think it’s easy for people who don’t mask to say, “Well they got it anyway so masking is clearly pointless.” But think of all the times they DIDN’T get it. 1/

I’ve wanted to be an actor since I was a child and now, because sets are no longer mandated to provide Covid safety protocols, I may have to give up my dream just to protect my health. And I’m so so angry. Am I the only actor trying to live? Please let me know.

This New Yorker talks about how everyone is sick, sweating and coughing all over one another. She blames the warm weather - but you know what else causes those symptoms? COVID. If everyone is coughing … put on a mask! You shouldn’t need an inhaler and NyQuil every night! /1

Covid is bad to get and it’s cumulatively worse the more times you get it. I think this is helpful to think about in order to reframe mitigations for people who feel like if they can’t be perfect, they shouldn’t bother with it at all. This is not all or nothing. You are not powerless. 1/

A prevalent, virtuous mindset in the early days of the pandemic was, “I’m wearing this mask to protect YOU.” But the truth is, most people were just terrified about their own safety. And once it felt like less of a personal threat, they stopped masking.🧵1/

Every morning, the moment I sit down on the couch with coffee, my dog gets out of his bed to approach me for pets. I pet him for five sensible minutes while my coffee cools, then I pick up my coffee and start fake snoring, and on cue he walks away to sit by the door, now off duty. Bliss.
