It’s very much political and not science based when you have most states going one way versus a handful working with private companies for a health based system https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/14197150505294

Yes you can choose to work from home. You can choose to get vaccinated. You can choose to wear a mask.

Agreed and it’s the “we don’t really know” but we’re forcing the vaccine on everyone that’s the problem. What we do know is that vaccinated can still catch and spread covid. The stats of breakthrough cases are skewed due to the CDCs methodo

Where do we end this then? Do we continue implementing lockdowns, mask mandates, forced vaccinations with every ebbs and flow… Or do we realize our urgent care infrastructure has enough capacity, deaths are down- zero on some days, vaccines

The “wait 2 weeks” argument did not work for Florida when they took the lead, nor Texas when they had the first full capacity sporting event, and not India when they were on the “brink of collapse”. Delta is confirmed to be more contagious

If that’s your choice. And if you want to get vaccinated, keep up with boosters, and wear a mask in the workplace that can be your choice as well.

That’s your assumption. Someone can be in favor of personal health privacy, against big government, and still be pro medicine. Single minded, unquestionable, blind following is not science.

Today the entire state of New York had ZERO covid related deaths. Yet this week we saw NYC and State employees and now major private corporations mandate the vaccine. For the record I will never disclosure my health status so don’t assume

I’ll pose the question again: As a country, society, and humanity as a whole, where do we end this- with everyone vaccinated or seasonally controlled like influenza? Once that light is clear, everything else will figure itself out.

Serious question: Is going straight to a vaccine the typical route for new infectious diseases? Are treatments the equivalent of a Z Pack or Tamiflu more challenging to develop?

This is the type of change we need to celebrate in people not further scrutinize! As a Jew I would love to create dialogue with a person who realized the past hate was unjust, to hear why the hate existed and more importantly to understand

Misleading title, it’s more of a delay according to Facebook’s quote in the article: “While we still believe in the long-term potential of head-mounted optical [brain-computer interface] technologies, we’ve decided to focus our immediate ef

Agreed. That’s the low hanging fruit. Question is where we go from there: Allowing for content moderation opens the door to selective bias. On the other hand, a “hands off” approach can lead to its own form of content extremism. The ability

Boris Johnson’s recent comments after England’s Euro 2020 loss highlight this challenge the best. Government officials are pressuring social media corporations to define and continually refine their content policies. Simultaneously governme

Globally we need to decide if we’re aiming for 0 covid infections or controlled like the flu. It seems that is the biggest divide with the population in the United States right now. If we’re okay with the flu then we already know how to pr

If you can work from home, why not. Having lived in a city before and now in a suburb, I miss the energy of the city but the suburban quality of life outweighs the urban energy.

Increased housing supply will solve the problem of expensive housing. But increasing supply in cities could be difficult (all the challenges that come with increased population density). Building out was historically an issue due to commute
