ta Retwitteaste rafael shimunov @rafaelshimunov We keep seeing sad stories of people who boasted about not wearing masks getting sick or dying. What you don't see are the hundreds of workers that are sick or dying because of their choice. From drivers, delivery, waiters, retail staff to the medical workers trying to save them.

They are not on Twitter. They are by the side of their loved ones, and they are at funerals. 27 24 1 152 rafael shimunov In NYC, many of the workers dying because someone turned not-wearing-a- mask into political theater live here in Queens. And many of those survived wars and genocide - or are the kids of those who did, but they cannot survive your ignorance. @rafaelshimunov · 6h 27 20 135

Sam Harris Q D A Gift a subscription 3. Elon and I didn't converge on a common view of epidemiology over the course of those two hours, but we hit upon a fun compromise: A wager. Elon bet me $1 million dollars (to be given to charity) against a bottle of fancy tequila ($1000) that we wouldn't see as many as 35,000 cases of Covid in the United States (cases, not deaths). The terms of the bet reflected what was, in his estimation, the near certainty (1000 to 1) that he was right. Having already heard credible estimates that there could be 1 million deaths from Covid in the U.S. over the next 12-18 months (these estimates proved fairly accurate), I thought the terms of the bet ridiculous and quite unfair to Elon. I offered to spot him two orders of magnitude: I was confident that we'd soon have 3.5 million cases of Covid in the U.S. Elon accused me of having lost my mind and insisted that we stick with a ceiling of 35,000. 4. We communicated sporadically by text over the next couple of weeks, while the number of reported cases grew. Ominously, Elon dismissed the next batch of data reported by the CDC as merely presumptive while confirmed cases of Covid, on his account, remained elusive. 5. A few weeks later, when the CDC website finally reported 35,000 deaths from Covid in the U.S. and 600,000 cases, I sent Elon the following text: Is (35,000 deaths + 600,000 cases) > 35,000 cases? 6. This text appears to have ended our friendship. Elon never responded, and it was not long before he began maligning me on Twitter for a variety of imaginary offenses. For my part, I eventually started complaining about the startling erosion of his integrity on my podcast, without providing any detail about what had transpired between us.
I guess we should retire the expression "avoid it like the plague given how little effort people put into avoiding an actual plague

That is the point people have been making since the beginning, when you really think about it. Many times have doctors said that wearing a mask during the pandemic is less to protect yourself – since it actually does little on that front – and more to protect those around you, the real purpose of those masks to begin with. Neglecting its usage because you personally do not care is missing the point, and doing so out of political reasons is being dangerously petty and frankly antisocial, therefore a bit sociopathic, while doing so.

Enough people have died from this virus to fill up Cowboys Stadium, the fourth-largest football stadium in the country, twice over. You see this picture?

That's barely half the number of victims of this disease so far. And the number will only get bigger.

Wear a mask, please. For all our sakes.
