    In case anyone doubts the possibility of peace against all odds, I'd say the head of Germany's Luftwaffe, in an Israeli hospital, donating his own blood in support of the Jewish nation, makes a strong future pro-possible case even if right now it seems unthinkable

    The Inspector General of @Team_Luftwaffe , Lt. Gen. Ingo Gerhartz, donated blood at Sheba Hospital in Israel. We thank the German people for their solidarity with Israel and the injured in the aftermath of Hamas' massacre on October 7. 🇮🇱🤝🇩🇪

    Dear one of my kids' teachers, do you think that singling out the 3 kids in the class still wearing masks and asking them to defend still wearing them while telling the class you think people should be able to do whatever they want was you being good at your job?

    Out of an abundance of caution we will deploy lesser measures than those that failed to contain prior dramatically less infectious variants

    Car accidents have a 99.4% survival rate and your chance of getting into any accident on any given day is only 0.007%. Seatbelts - lap diapers really - are for suckers and make it more difficult to take a deep breath. Whenever I see someone wearing one it just makes me so mad.

    I don't think non-Jews realize how much and how permanently the global response since October 7th has changed us.

    The good news is that respiratory viruses can't evolve to evade the laws of physics, and so masks and clean air along with vaccination and thoughtful social and public health policies can absolutely defeat them. The bad news is we're apparently the dumbest species on earth.

    The reason you aren't seeing many masks in conference and holiday party photos is because the people smart enough, responsible enough, and/or vulnerable enough to wear them can't or won't attend inequitable, unsafe events.

    Why do I still wear a mask when out? Because I give a shit about people other than me and despite being sick of all this, I’m not delusional. Also? It’s really fucking easy.

    Guessing by the end of January/February a bunch more people will understand that small percentages of huge numbers are large numbers.

    The horror keeps pouring out of New Zealand whose government made the selfish choice to pursue #COVIDZero and now they have to suffer through experiences like this

    Sucks that this Canada Day when seeing flags it’s impossible to know if they’re celebrating Canada or celebrating hate.

    If you ever start a sentence with “only x number of kids have died” maybe instead shut the fuck up.
