- There was no quarantine. The bars were closed for a few weeks in the spring of 2020. Kids got out of school for summer a few weeks early. They weren't in solitary confinement, and school was hybrid by Fall. People have constructed a fairytale of things that simply did not happen.Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextWhile the U.S. had no nationwide COVID-19 quarantine, more than 40 states issued lengthy stay-at-home orders and required quarantines for travelers or exposed individuals. For example, Hawaii mandated traveler quarantines nytimes.com/interactive/20…
- I saw my Canadian sister this evening. She told us she's had COVID four times, but it's fine because she's vaccinated. She's a master swimmer and jumps right back into the pool/gym as soon as her symptoms subside. I asked her why she doesn't just wear a respirator.
- Replying to @AnnieTehworst"I'd have to quit my job," she replied. She's a director at AbbVie. She uses computers and has does lots of Zoom meetings. "And I fly on airplanes a lot." Ok, so wear a respirator on airplanes. This woman has a doctoral degree. 🙄 It's laziness and the need to conform.
- Replying to @RedTRaccoonWe don't listen to scientists. We ignore them for decades upon decades as if our opinions are equal to their profound knowledge. This is the result.
- Shout out to the person at President Carter's Capitol Hill service wearing a respirator so as not to catch or spread COVID today. 🫡😷🫡
- "My Friend The Bartender" A 🧵 about "mild" COVID. #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid #PascalPraud A longtime friend of mine is a bartender. Let's call them Sal. Sal is about 30. Single, no kids, owns their own home. Sal is on the payroll at seven different bars and event venues.
- Replying to @hutchleahThat therapist should find a job in another field. Why is her personal phone on during session? My last therapist regularly fell asleep during my sessions. I quit therapy. If I want my trauma to be ignored, I have a family for that.
- Me, liking all the MAGA "I will not comply" posts regarding bird flu.

- Replying to @1stForAllShe did not "say former President Donald Trump damaged her reputation by calling her a liar after she accused him of sexual assault." A jury of his peers found that he did, based on facts and the law. It's a fact, not hearsay. He is guilty.
- Replying to @iamchanteezyHe published a gossip rag "book" about a popular former president who's just been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. Not sure what he was expecting.
- Replying to @LauraMiersThe other weird thing is that people really don't seem to remember that prior to having COVID, they were rarely, if ever, sick. Now they are sick constantly and don't seem to even wonder why. As if they've always been this way. It's bizarre.
- Replying to @AnnieTehworstBecause no one is doing a damn thing. I feel increasingly hopeless. I know good and well that no one is coming to save us. I guess I really wasn't expecting that I wouldn't succeed in paying someone, anyone, to care about their own damn kids. /end rant #CovidIsIAirborne #PASC
