I keep hearing that being concerned about Covid, or that being concerned about climate, or that being concerned about AI, is really just a sign of “a moral panic,” but based on the state of the world these days it seems immoral not to be at least a little panicked

Ah! Now that we have the decay curve we can calculate ACH. Given: start 1860; end 1100, ambient 435, duration 6 hours. The air change rate in that classroom is 0.13 air changes per hour. That's what air leakage on a mild day looks like. Completely insufficient by any measure!

ACH = negative natural log of (concentration end minus ambient)/(concentration start minus ambient) all over duration in hours

The Science Is Clear: COVID Can Leave Lasting Damage Source: x.com/1goodtern/st...

A screenshot of a social media post from X (formerly Twitter) by the user Tern (@1goodtern), dated Sep 13, 2026.
The post features a massive list of prestigious, peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals where studies on the long-lasting after-effects of COVID-19 have been published. Featured publications include Nature Medicine, The Lancet, NEJM, JAMA, BMJ, Science, and Cell, among dozens of others.
Below the list, the author writes a series of short, declarative statements emphasizing that the science surrounding long-term COVID risks is exhaustive and thoroughly researched, rather than "quackery" or "junk science." The text states that infections increase the risk of a vast range of health problems, and that vaccinations or previous infections do not prevent this increase in risk. It concludes with the statement, "The only thing that prevents the increase in risk is to not catch Covid. There’s a wave now, so mask up."

1/n “Regular” variants vs. saltation variants The WHO ended the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency of International Concern in May 2023, but the virus did not disappear. SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate globally. One important reason is its ability to evolve and evade pre-existing immunity.

Moving on from COVID-19 by abandoning our protections is like surviving a house fire and throwing away the smoke detectors. Ignoring the risk doesn’t make it go away. Source: x.com/MementoMousi...

Screenshot of a post by Mouse 🐭 (@MementoMousie) comparing society’s response to COVID with surviving a house fire. The post says it is like everyone experienced a house fire 3–6 years ago, then began unplugging smoke detectors and throwing away fire extinguishers because they didn’t want to think about it. If their house catches fire again, they ignore it. The author says the frustrating part is showing people evidence that fire can be extinguished so they don’t have to live in fear, but they still ignore it and no one admits the situation is unsafe and unnecessary.

The holiday travel weekend is here! Unfortunately, it's easy to be exposed to others who may be sick while traveling. As COVID-19 cases continue to increase across the country, masking is a great way to protect yourself from COVID, measles, colds, and other viruses that spread through the air!

A picture of a bunch of people at an airport standing in line with their suitcases, waiting to go through the metal detector. Captions over two peoples heads say they are sick, one of whom doesnt have symptoms and doesn’t know she’s sick already. Two other people who are not wearing masks have captions saying they are at high risk of getting sick here. One person, the only one wearing a mask, has a bubble over his head saying he is at low risk of becoming infected here.
