Vinay's Catalog of Crazy & Reminder about Our Florida Gathers THIS WEEK

Rational Ground Florida meeting this Saturday

One of the most reasonable and articulate experts in this whole pandemic has been Vinay Prasad, associate professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco. (Frankly, it’s amazing that he’s kept his job there considering how at odds it is with some of his colleagues.)

He has a tweet out today which itemizes the insanity we continue to endure. I thought it worthy of its own email this Sunday.

one thing I am confused about is all this talk of restrictions; kids masking/ wearing n95s/ indoors/ outdoors/ during sports/ eating lunch on the floor/ alone/ facing no one/ schools closed/ panicked asx testing/ empty/ deserted offices/ mandatory boosters/ hellish college rules

2 doses/ 3 doses/ 4 doses/ EUA based on non-inferior geometric mean Ab titer/ vaccine passports for adults/ and now kids 5 year olds in NYCity/ forcing 2 year olds to mask on airplane; well until they get to Europe and no one does it/ cancelled classes/ conferences/

lectures/ seminars/ gatherings/ no off-ramps/ end-dates/ no articulation of policy goals/ to acceptance of the inevitability of covid19 spread. What restrictions? You can go to a restaurant and only have to wear a mask when you walk to the table, Life is perfect! #zerocovid
