The other neat thing is that the testing site used the same eligibility criteria throughout and the same rapid test the entire time. 2/n
It's been a while since I've read a COVID19 preprint worth highlighting. I found one today that is *fascinating*
The study compares Delta vs. Omicron in terms of symptoms + rapid test results. Data was collected at a walk-up community testing site in San Francisco
Strap in. 1/n
The other neat thing is that the testing site used the same eligibility criteria throughout and the same rapid test the entire time. 2/n
Yet another neat thing: they collected vaccination status.
Here's a link to the study for anyone who wants to follow along. 3/n

They also found that *fewer* persons reported fever and/or loss of smell/taste as compared to the Delta wave.
Now, that may seem bad and counter-intuitive but it's great and makes perfect sense. Allow me to explain...

There's another thing to consider to understand how boosted persons might end up w/ *more* congestion

If that fails, then it makes it further, into the lungs, where it triggers a different kind of "congestion" that causes collateral damage 11/n

3% boosted during Delta ➡️ 25% boosted during Omicron 🔥🔥🔥

These, in combination with our vaccines, can extend the time between surges. 17/n

I like this description: "a deep emotional wound we carry in our bodies." #trauma
Pain is what happens to us, such as the death of a loved one.

Suffering is what we make (or don't make) of our pain.
Suffering leads to trauma- a kind of deep emotional wound we carry in our bodies.#personalgrowth #trauma #writerslift #writingcommunity #writing

Jamie Raskin drops some bombs linking Trump to alt-right terrorist groups
We are watching Jamie Raskin and the #January6thCommitteeHearings literally show collusion between right wing extremists and the executive branch of The United States of America in real time.

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:
USC's Interactive Media & Games Division cancels all-star panel that included top-tier game developers who were invited to share their experiences with students. Why? Because there were no women on the
ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference.
Apple's head of diversity (a black woman) got in trouble for promoting a vision of diversity that is at odds with contemporary progressive dogma. (She left the company shortly after this
Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35
