My friend came back from a 5,000-person academic conference with Covid because nobody masks anymore and I'm angry and baffled. Beyond baffled. I continue to mask for all the reasons. Why don't others, especially academics? It's unconscionable to me.

Has anybody tried to predict the last date the maskers stop masking? Who will be the Hiroo Onoda of the COVID pandemic masking? twitter.com/FromPhDtoLife/…

@thackerpd I have no plans to end masking in public. At least not in 2023.
