Great narrative article, long & well worth the read. It's both philosophy & the why of the covid public health response - & - numbers and projections.

"The notion that you can’t eradicate it, therefore you must accept as much spread as is possible, that is just insane, on the face of it. I think the contradictions will become clearer as time goes on."

No one is going to have a #covidpolicy that is rational. Ever. My daughter is in school rn w/ a kid whose mom has #covid and the child is wearing a cloth mask as her "mask to protect the other students." I have already kept mine home so much for this kind of bs. I just....How can I work if this is the nonsensical #mitigation that people think is reasonable. Bc of this, too, we can't go visit my 4 year old's friend who is recovering from cancer surgery and really wanted to see a friend. 😭

My change was deployed to the #FOSDEM home page. The word 'beer' now links to the Covid policy page.

I've submitted a pull request to make the beer link on the #FOSDEM website point at the Covid policy page so that people know the beer event is cancelled.

I retreat to Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane/Starship:

“I don’t want to escape from reality. I want reality to escape from me.”
