#CDCsays AIDS is not even as bad as Herpes anymore, Herpes is more common even. So go ahead a have unprotected sex. Even if you have signs of an STD, if it's kinda improving and you don't have a fever, it's fine to spread it to others. Some people might want to use a condom (like those who know we've lost our goddamn mind!).

My mother (photo right) was born soon after that 1918 pandemic. Her older sister Anna (photo left) had died from it while still a toddler, just shy of her third birthday.
My entire childhood, my Mom was always telling me to "go wash my hands."
I couldn't come in the door from school without washing my hands right away (and before getting my hugs welcoming me home).
I couldn't touch money without washing my hands right after.
I was taught how to NOT touch things: use my sleeves for public doorknobs, flush public toilets with my shoe/elbow (if I had to use them at all), and just generally be aware of germs in public spaces.
People probably thought she was #OCD and weird when I was growing up. And during my childhood years (1960s to 70s), she probably was.
But she was also correct.
"Did you wash your hands?"
Thanks, Mom.
th Cat Wired story on the current Covid wave... The positive is it mentioning how many cases in the US per day (at least 2 million) and even mentioning we are in year 5 of an ongoing pandemic!
Downside is the downplaying of the risk of severe outcomes for even otherwise-healthy people; exactly zero mention of the risk of Long Covid stemming from *each infection*.
So.... Good?

Can't help suspecting that this is so eventually they can just call it the flu test...
