    Many #ivermectin studies showing favorable effect against #COVID-19 appear faked, according to scientists.

    When I looked at the ivmeta site a few months ago, the favorable studies had an average of 43 patients, and excepting one study later withdrawn for poor methodology, large studies universally showed no positive effect.

    Almost a quarter million US kids infected with #COVID-19 in one week. I'm guessing this is mostly in-school transmission. Two sisters who still work for schools have said their schools are having new outbreaks weekly.

    #FL Governor fights against court order. He is trying to prevent school districts from requiring masks.

    There’s a simple solution: If an unmasked person gives #COVID-19 to someone else, make them responsible for the affected person’s medical costs, lost wages, and such. In the case of students at schools, make the parents of the infector responsible for the costs. (If the infector is an adult, they can bear the responsibility themselves.)

    Surely Florida’s Governor’s fight for personal and parental responsibility includes financial liability.

    About a week to go before I'm available for travel assignments again. Someone at my sister's school tested positive for #COVID-19, so some of the other teachers (including my sister) have been on quarantine since last week.

    The school district currently has over 50 teachers out on quarantine or infected.

    More than 250K people were expected at a recent pass sanitaire protest https://nu.federati.net/url/282572 [www theguardian com]

    (I don’t actually think vaccine passports are a good idea. For one thing, they provide the [false] assurance that a person does not have #COVID-19 and cannot pass the disease on to others. Secondly, someone will certainly figure out how to produce counterfeit passes to unvaccinated people. Thirdly, does your pass mean you were vaccinated in 2021-JAN or 2021-JUL? That could make a difference as people start to reach the end of their enhanced immunity period.)

    One of my sisters has 42 students in an elementary school classroom that would have held 28-32 students 50 years ago.

    The buildings have the same recirculating air systems they had before #COVID-19 (should have been replaced with ventilation systems).

      There was a major shift in tone this week from leaders of government and business -- from gentle persuasion to requiring workers to get vaccinated. It was a fateful step, but justified because of the risk of a worsening pandemic.
