@mviktoro forget bars, hospitals are taking it easy too which is completely crazy. I had an ultrasound at Mount Sinai in Toronto on Monday. They have a box with masks at the entrance (regular ones, of course) and a sign that you should wear one but there was nobody at the entrance enforcing the rule. I saw one person walk in without a mask and nobody stopped him. Everybody else did wear masks but still. This isn't something that should be left to self enforcement.

Anyone else going through the extreme whiplash of witnessing doctors report on the collapse of ERs and hospital care in real time because of #covid …

… and logging into insta to see all their friends indoors at bars, restaurants, classes, parties etc. unmasked with crowds of strangers? #BringBackMasks

Seems like Elon has paid about $200 billion for a, maybe, $15 billion company. But he doesn’t care because it’s nearly all other people’s money.

RT @schwarz@twitter.com

Tesla’s stock price fell another 7% today after news that Elon Musk’s sold $4 billion more of it. It's now down 22% since the day he took over Twitter, meaning Tesla's market value has dropped by $160 billion. Its shareholders probably aren’t happy about his bird app adventure.

Clearest explanation I've seen of the state of play in the House.

RT @Fritschner@twitter.com

The House is still in play. R majority is likeliest outcome but Dems have a path. Every seat matters for majority and for vote math. My watchlist is down to 18 seats; Dems would need to net 3 lead flips to win. R's will win some where Ds are up now so it's tough... but possible.

Don't sleep on state supreme courts. Republicans flipped the NC Supreme Court and took 3 open seats in OH. MI voters returned incumbent judges to the bench, and some conservatives lost in KY. These are key places where the abortion battle will head next.

What are the data on risk of Long COVID in vaxxed vs. unvaxxed?

I will review 4 studies.

Bottom line: there’s about a 30% to 50% risk reduction (though the range across studies is 15% to 80%)

✔️ btw I’m paid $0 to share these data & have no stocks in pharma companies
