1. With the BA.2 wave here in MA, it is worth asking what the @CDCgov "community levels" tells us to do, when it will tell us to do something different, and what this means. I'll look at Suffolk County, which includes Boston. 🧵— Jon Levy (@jonlevyBU) April 15, 2022

Hospitalizations doubled in MA and current CDC risk level is “medium” with proposed measures being talk to your doctor about wearing a mask if you’re immunocompromised

Nobody could have foreseen this

    Yeah, it's probably good to have something in your back pocket lol. I think that was the third time I've been asked, twice from strangers and once from the coworker.

    I played the coworker one off since I'm a supervisor and have to maintain the consent of the people I'm responsible for by telling my coworker "well, then I'd have to smile".

    For the others, it was two random chuds in public. One was said in a condescending fashion telling me to take it off because the mask mandate was over. "Do you believe everything the govt tells you?" was my response. The other was in line at the grocery store and some wrap around sunglasses guy starts volunteers information about 5G COVID masks and shit and I just tried to out-conspiracy him by telling him I wear the mask because there are facial recognition cameras everywhere trying to track me. If I wasn't in public, I would've probably been more dismissive.

      lol, i like the phrasing of that because it implies they are trying to track you, specifically.

      this is making me think of other cool answers. like a Bane exchange "What would happen if I took off your mask?" "It would be very painful. For you "
