@AbleAmazing Where did you get the idea that I or anyone else is suggesting we "still be confined to 2020-level restrictions?" If I suggest using seatbelts, is that the same as suggesting you not drive? If I say you should reduce your fat intake, does that mean you have to become a vegan? I have thousands of posts arguing for sensible decisions, and it just drives me insane when people act as if there is nothing we can do between pretend #COVID19 is gone and locking ourselves at home. 8 comments
@AbleAmazing @augieray There are a few things that should be getting done: - Address indoor air quality in public spaces and schools. @AbleAmazing @augieray Individually, we need to pressure our local, state, national governments to work on these areas. We have a grading system for a restaurants. What if we had a similar grade but for the air quality in the building? With threat of closure/condemnation if steps are not taken to improve? @AbleAmazing @augieray And apply this to all buildings. Work offices, schools. Give people the means to make intelligent choices about their health. Maybe you don’t care if the building you’re about to enter has a Grade C air quality. Or maybe that lets you know this is a good place to wear a mask. Thank you for the information. I had never even considered air quality as a public health factor in the context of respiratory diseases. I will explore this further. @AbleAmazing I appreciate that. The try being someone who for almost 5 years has posted thousands of times with correct information warning people in the early days of COVID, alerting them that immunity fades, cautioning against long covid, and reporting on repeated surges. Then, get 1,000 angry responses that claim you are advocating for lockdowns. Trust me, your fuse will get mighty short.  @AbleAmazing @augieray I'd consider wearing a mask whether you're feeling ill or not, on transport and in shops and other busy places. It doesn't cost you anything (well, except price of masks) and can prevent asymptomatic spread. |

@augieray I thought I made it pretty clear that I was not accusing you of advocating for that. I was saying that I have seen some people advocate for that level of restriction or something close to it. I understand and appreciate nuanced arguments. Extremes are anathema to my way of thinking.
I am not saying I don't want or that we shouldn't have any restrictions. I was asking what those sensible restrictions should look like in 2024. I am ignorant on this topic and was seeking an informed perspective. I will of course do my own research. But I am curious what your perspective is.
