The silence is deafening on COVID.
The plan is to keep people in the dark.
If you still wear a mask. If you still protect yourself and others. If you test. If you stay home when you are sick. If you still acknowledge that #CovidIsNotOver - you are a candle.

The BA.3.2.* COVID variant is nicknamed "Cicada". It's been underground for a while.
Masks stop it, but maths is my prime concern. We must reduce transmission, so it has limited opportunity to mutate further.

Sigh. Pandemic, nearly year seven, no one understands how anything works.
When most people say "during Covid" they mean "when we did infection control in schools".
"Not controlling the spread of disease at all" results in more illness than "doing something to control the spread of disease".
So of course it's "worse than Covid".

If you're coughing, sneezing or vomiting, be a decent person and stay at home. Just keep your bugs to yourself.

I teach. Today a student asked me "How come you know so much good music?"
I don't stream. I don't have a Spotify Wrapped.
From my kids.
I heard this for the first time when my son was singing it in the shower.
He wears a mask in school too.

At lunchtime today some students I teach invited me to do the 6-7 dance.
I politely declined. To me, 6-7 means that we've done 6 pandemic years and we are into the 7th. It's not something I feel like dancing about.
I'm glad they don't realise - it's not their responsibility.🧵

5 years 9 months ago, I read an email that suggests anosmia is a symptom. I decide to do everything I can to not get infected. Still doing so.
