We Can’t Wish Covid-19 Away
We Can’t Wish Covid-19 Away
MANY LINKED RESOURCES: Covid-19 is not just like a cold. Letting it rip unimpeded is adding an enormous, unsustainable health debt to ourselves, our families, our businesses and our society. Herd Immunity was never possible and certainly isn’t now. Long Covid isn’t just real, it’s devastating and surprisingly common.

1,200 is More Than 6 | Science-Based Medicine
The American Academy of Pediatrics added 72 deaths to its COVID-19 death tally in the past month. This is over ten times the number of children who died of flu since the pandemic started. It should be humiliating to argue that SARS-CoV-2 in kids is roughly, roughly the same as influenza, maybe even less severe than influenza, seasonal influenza in kids. Yet, many doctors still do. When it comes to dead children, 1,200 is much larger than 6.

It took two years for the WHO to admit covid is airborne. The reason is rooted in science history
Covid, it’s now an established fact, is airborne. Though aerosols and droplets may sound similar, their public health implications are very different. The assumption that covid was spread by droplets informed public health advice such as stressing the importance of social distancing, wearing any kind of mask including cloth ones, and disinfecting surfaces—as opposed to focusing on high-quality masks that can stop aerosol transmission (such as N95s) and ventilation.

Lifting Universal Masking in Schools — Covid-19 Incidence among Students and Staff | NEJM
Lifting Universal Masking in Schools — Covid-19 Incidence among Students and Staff | NEJM
In February 2022, Massachusetts rescinded a statewide universal masking policy in public schools, and many Massachusetts school districts lifted masking requirements during the subsequent weeks. In the greater Boston area, only two school districts — the Boston and neighboring Chelsea districts — sustained masking requirements through June 2022. The staggered lifting of masking requirements provided an opportunity to examine the effect of universal masking policies on the incidence of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in schools.
