    The RV park here in Florida has multiple COVID cases right now, all from fully vaxxed people who went back north to spend the holidays with their families. Nobody's sick enough for the hospital, but it is concerning enough for masking up.

    That stat has ZERO information value. If the percentage wasn't that high, someone was cooking the books.

    Everyone knows the folks who voluntarily wear masks to avoid getting Covid also wear diapers to avoid using the airplane lavs, so the numbers ARE skewed.

    Also, perhaps a non-trivial detail re: the airline flights crawling with coronavirus thing: That article was reporting the assessment of 29 flights in Kuala (fucking) Lumpur.

    Understood. I took it as Dr. Gounder offering a reminder Covid is still everywhere with us.

    Which point I'd love to see made again - contra Biden - so we could get some masks back on some faces, especially on the subway.

    The crowds at MoMA last night, for example, were crazy.

    First Friday of every month is free, so the line is around the block even with timed admissions, and it's shoulder to shoulder once you're in the door. All of that compounded last night by the del Toro Pinocchio exhibit.

    Masking?

    Maybe 10%.

    Maybe.

    I don't know why I wrote it "Kuala (fucking) Lumpur" ... but I'm glad I did.
