    The Colony Fire burning in Sequoia National Park in California is expected to reach a grove of 2,000 sequoias on Thursday. Firefighters wrapped the base of the world's largest tree, the colossal General Sherman Tree, in an effort to protect it.

  3. And there are no appointments to be had in Brooklyn at any of the city testing sites. What I've learned is that you need to go to the no appointment vans and/or walk-up sites.

  4. But the people w the best SEO for Covid rapid testing in NYC are all private testing centers. TIL can even get a concierge add-on to your $175 rapid test of $1,085+ for a Hamptons visit! Or $269 for Brooklyn.

  5. Also just to be clear—this isn't an imminent flight. I was doing 3-days in advance testing and discovered my BinaxNOW C-19 Self-Test uploads to the Navica app as an uncertified test & that I'd have needed the BinaxNOW C-19 Ag Home-Test to get it taken as proof. Hence: off to IRL

    Freaking joke. Even the UK has cheap readily available rapid tests. They cost $140-170 in my local pharmacy. They are paying $1 basically in other parts of the world.

    Alas: this is my experience as well. Rapid tests at, say, CVS and Walgreens aren’t even available at their locations in entire states.

  11. As far as I can tell the whole public testing infrastructure is gone and has been replaced by businesses charging $250-500+ for rapid tests.

  12. Does anyone know where it's possible and not hundreds out of pocket to get rapid Covid testing in NYC these days? (I accidentally bought the wrong Abbott Binax home tests, the uncertified ones, and need the result for travel.)

    SO important. People's intuitions are wrong and it's helping to wreck some of our most productive metro areas.

    Great thread on studies out of UK and Israel on boosters and waning immunity. mRNA vax still holds really well against severity for all but the most elderly and/or immunocompromised. At the same time, boosters clearly cut infections for all age levels. So...what is the end game?

    There's no reason not to let foreign nationals visit America if they've received the same vaccines Americans are using and test negative for the virus.

    It's time to do this. Vaccines + pre-flight testing + 2-5-days post-arrival second test (for anything the first test missed or transit acquired infection) should cover it.

    The blanket ban on EU citizens coming to the US makes no sense, especially given many EU countries have higher Covid vaccination rates and far fewer Covid cases. As long as those wanting to come to the US test negative for Covid & are vaccinated, they should be allowed in.
