      Are you confused about the zigzagging CDC messaging on rapid tests? I wish the CDC would consult with Dr. Walensky circa 2020, who explained it brilliantly. This CDC seems to be hoping you figure things out by yourself, and good luck finding a test.

      It's 2022! Disappointed with the "masks aren't useful for you because we don't have them" vibes around rapid tests, and CDC justifying it by saying tests would provide "a false sense of security". Denying tools to the public with a claim they'd otherwise be reckless isn't okay.pic.twitter.com/FL53NEduGP

      I want to highlight @KatherineEban's great article on White House rejecting proposals to get a lot of rapid tests. Some reportedly worried it would discourage vaccination. This. Makes. No. Sense. One can find a few examples, but that's irrelevant. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/12/the-biden-administration-rejected-an-october-proposal-for-free-rapid-tests-for-the-holidays …pic.twitter.com/TdPC8AfLrY

      Aka if your particle is going faster than light, check your cables first, and if you are arguing "what if better is worse", check your thinking and do some more research before doubling down.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1478766408691556353 …

      Zeynep's law: Until there is substantial and repeated evidence otherwise, assume counterintuitive findings to be false, and second-order effects to be dwarfed by first-order ones in magnitude.

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted A. David Paltiel

      Comment from Dr. Paltiel, co-author with Dr. Walensky of this article I talk about from September 2020 about the value of rapid antigen tests for identifying infectious people, and reasons to prefer them over PCR for public health. https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/forefront.20200909.430047/full/ …https://twitter.com/ADPaltiel/status/1478785449221148672 …

      A. David Paltiel @ADPaltiel
      @zeynep asks: "Might the real reason be that rapid tests are hard to find and expensive?" Of course! Shame on the White House: first for not owning its failure to invest in antigen tests; and second for scapegoating/forcing CDC to make policy around it. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/05/opinion/omicron-covid-testing-cdc.html?smid=tw-share …

      Can you name a few masks with good seals that don't fog up glasses? Ty!

          I find the double-sided face mask tape strips useful for getting a better fit with little fogging with my KF94. Can keep using one for several days. (Findable on amazon.)pic.twitter.com/sEbDEfI20f

          Buy anti fog spray! Zeiss do one, works pretty good but needs redoing admittedly

          If you are getting fog on glasses, it is indicative of a poor seal and you are not well protected.

          I really like Moldex "comfort fit" N95's and N100's. The 4700 series N100's, which I use on the rare occasions when I go indoors, has a foam lining around the entire rim which makes it very comfortable for extended wear and provides a very conformal fit.
