Just as much as they don't know what the vaccine ingredients are or what they do.

I've seen an antivax meme going around asking "What is your favorite vaccine ingredient?" I created a response.

Just looked at your profile. Would like to chat.

I have those at home. I've been living out of one checked bag and a carry on the past 11 weeks because there was no possible way to drive to my current contract. Had to make do.

I found evidence of who Elon Musk's biggest fans are. If you need a hint, look at the red line on 10/8. If you need another hint, that was the day that the Yandex’s Sasovo data hub was blown up by Ukraine. If the data is wrong, you can blame Musk. I used Grok to get it, lol.

I come back in just like I came into the room the first time and start over with changing out the air. Respirator stays on for an hour while that happens.

I'm the only person at the conference who is. It's so frustrating.

Oh no. Sorry to hear that. I'm the only one wearing a mask here.

I flew here for a conference and stayed at the conference site so limited options. Obviously small leaks at the door, but low risk IMHO with my other measures. By car, I have a much larger HEPA with me.

That is the normal HVAC in the main room. The problem with constant running exhaust is creating negative airflow relative to the hall, hence the towel under the door. With windows open, less of an issue.

Yes. Obviously the HVAC has filters, but since I don't know their efficiency rating, I treat it as unfiltered.

A towel blocking the crack under the doorway to the hall, a HEPA filter, open windows, and plastic blocking the air supply vent.

My four mitigations to my hotel room during high COVID and influenza activity.

I was getting death threats every couple of weeks for the first two years of the pandemic just for trying to keep people from harm as an epidemiologist. They were all far right that I could tell.

I think I made a small typo in my death estimate calculation in my app. I redid it this AM in a spreadsheet so I could compare other estimates. The higher the value, the worse the estimate. I still came in at <1% off with mine. 2nd Addendum in link. icemsg.org/2020/03/13/5...

I expect that the trends will curve down even more as some of the sequelae start kicking in. I wouldn't be surprised at all for life expectancy to drop into the 50s or 60s.

Currently a little short of that, but definitely not final.

I got curious about what other people had been predicting about COVID about the same time I had. Scroll to the bottom past the colored text areas to see what I found this morning. icemsg.org/2020/03/13/5...

I had done a little calculating in my head last night and was very disturbed. I wasn’t even sure if I should talk about it, but I decided I would sleep on it and run the numbers more carefull…

It’s simple to figure out at this point, he’s a Russian asset. Thank you for your attention to this treason.

I feel the same about the US and am ready to leave.

It's an OR group. They were talking about a physician who was advocating no surgery for this.

I'm so disappointed. I had such a good comment for this. Give them ivermectin. /s

Sweden was by far the worst of the Scandinavian countries. I'm so sorry it's like that.

Probably why they have their own version of FB to create an information wall both ways.

I just tried getting an account on VKontakte but found out I need a Russian phone number. The site also blocks a lot of eSIMs. I thought it might be a way to try to find some signals of what is really happening in Buryatia. There's no way I'm plugging in a physical Russian SIM.

I went to two pharmacies over the weekend to get a COVID vaccine. Both were out. The employee health nurse here messaged me on Teams this morning that they just received them. I was the first to get one at corporate. This has me over 20 doses and now officially with superpowers.

The state releases respiratory data on Tuesdays (orange line). It adds further evidence that my projection two weeks back for a downturn in influenza this past Sat was correct. Calculus rocks.

We have a process to impeach him, but Republicans in Congress prevent us from having enough votes to do so.

I hope not, but who knows? It was just one of my "why would he say that?" musings. Iran is incapable of doing so.
