@mcdee_andy @HanDusty12 @LfcBecky Thanks. With emphasis: Antigen tests are *NOT* less "accurate;" they are *MORE* accurate for what you actually care about -- infectiousness! *** #AntigenTest approach = MORE ACCURATE *** Summary: linkedin.com/pulse/dont-get… #COVID #testing #facts

#LongCovid risk: - older age, female sex = higher risk - more education, urban dwelling = lower risk - newer #SARSCoV2 #variants = lower risk - #vaccination = lower risk buff.ly/3EjiZ33 via @JAMANetworkOpen (also, not in this study but: #Paxlovid = lower risk too)

@SDIwantweet Yes! - Better for landscaper (core workout + less hearing damage, fewer fumes, less aerosolization of mold spores, lower gas costs, greater efficiency, etc.) - Better for the neighbors - Better for the environment #WinWinWin STOP THE MADNESS. GET A RAKE!!!

Landscapers: blowing and blowing and blowing a giant pile of leave in futility (while making noise/air pollution) Me: bringing over a rake to demonstrate how efficiently it moves the pile. Landscapers: grab rakes, finish the job. STOP THE BLOWING MADNESS! GET A RAKE!!!

@jerry_shannon Wait, correlation is not causation? I mean we're talking turkey here.

There is an analogy here ... or probably several.

Amazing. And Terrifying. Especially in an age of disinformation.

Ode to a #leafblower: buff.ly/3Ef71qZ - Inefficient - Air pollution - Noise Pollution - Ecosystem destruction - Etc. GET A RAKE!
