1. There's a public health emergency?!?

Could have fooled me. (partial sarcasm)

I see very few indications that we are in an emergent situation, regarding masks, social distancing, and public health alerts. I know we've been in one since 2020, but don't see many behaviors that show others are aware of it.

I've continued to wear a mask. Remember, it's an IQ test, not a political statement. (I've always been told I'm too smart for my own good)

And I'll add this comment. I'm double boosted, but I know it's masking that really helps to contain the spread. I have 2 health nut antivaxer friends who never believed in vaccine's, but they wear masks. I worry for them if they catch it, but at least there are good treatments now. They know, but most people who've been vaccinated think they're immune, don't take precautions and are both catching and spreading it. If the masking messages were stronger, I know most people would wear them. They would also question why they need to both vax and mask.

This article you posted should be headlining on MSM. Didn't see it on CNN.
Thanks for sharing it.
