Really interesting how difficult it's been for people to separate their moral intuition and fairness instincts from disease prevention. Widespread belief that fun things somehow "must" be risky, and morally good things "must" be safehttps://twitter.com/TomChivers/status/1416683645616762882 …

sadly, the asterisk on this is that with the delta variants 1000x viral load, the virus can actually spread outdoors in medium density crowds, so, uhh, be careful out there.

Your display name seems particularly apt, given that the discussion about "1000x higher viral load" is all based on misunderstanding a preprint, which pointed out viral load was higher early in the course of the infection, not that it was higher overall. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.07.21260122v1 … .

thanks for the debug, but, er, with this large a Ct difference, and 1000x a viral load for any appreciable point in time, you would think that this really does drive more aggressive disease spread dynamics. even the previous variants & wildtype had major spread early in infectionpic.twitter.com/KXemcirO91
