I'm still confused about the scandal here. Aren't they recommending N95s for the general public now? How would Walensky wearing an N95 upset their narrative?

sounds like the big brains at the CDC's entmoot are gonna update their guidance to state that americans "may" wear an N95 but they want to avoid stating that you "should" wear an N95.

someone has had the bright idea of some kind of website that americans can use to obtain N95's at low cost, hmm

WaPo is based out of Washington DC and for whatever reason that city has always been one or two bad days away from bare grocery shelves for decades. They're probably feeling the crunch sooner than most.

There's a large version on the store too.

For my regular shaped face these fit a treat - they're very light and breathable, the material itself is 99%+ rated and they seal as well as I can confirm - great nose band seal. They are made in Australia and they're what the Olympic team wore to Tokyo so they at least have been under some scrutiny. Regardless of whether they're up to the tip top standards they're leagues better and more comfy than the kf94s you'll be able to buy over the counter.

Where are shelves bare? I haven't had any trouble buying food.

No bare shelves here in NC but I am seeing all sorts of weird brands. Usually I would get Jamestown sausage in the orange label, now we can only get "Wampler's" which sounds like a flea market brand. Saw Bill Knapps treats on the shelves too, something I grew up with in the 90s in the Midwest. Lots of weird chips brands that I have never heard of. We can still get everything we need though.

My wife's NYC employer just decided to resume in person work in two-ish weeks. Just around when city hospitalizations will be peaking, optimistically. They don't have to do return to in person, no one is forcing them to, they could continue with remote another couple of months no problem. Biden's admin deservedly gets lots of criticism, but America is filled with sociopaths all the way down.

Taking some grim solace that had Omicron not already got us my wife's employer was going to try their best to get us infected by the end of the month.

it's more and more likely every year, because we're currently using our strongest antibiotics in cattle to make hamburgers safer to eat!

Excuse me I can only process one major unfolding crisis at a time. The bacteria will have to wait behind the virus, climate change and whatever disaster capitalism is doing while everyone is distracted by everything else.

It might be true but if true it basically means we are on an unstoppable downward slope to collapse now. Inflation never goes below 5% again, healthcare system and education system collapse etc. The combination of doomerism and smug asswipe pundit affect is what is not valid. If that’s true there’s absolutely nothing for Matt Yglesias and his imitators to be smug about
