I have the quote of the year here, from @dylanhmorris "Exponentials are so cruel that nobody wants to look them in the eye." Lack of more severe disease from this variant is, of course, good but it doesn't undo the exponential (thus enormous) threat from more transmissibility.

Lower infective dose—a likely scenario—means that the same situation that would not get you sick three months ago with the wild-type now gets you sick. Plus winter colder dry air apparently helps the virus I'm generally more cautious right now.

So better masks? Yes. Good idea, now even more so. Also, fwiw, for the first time since the start, I've switched to delivery for groceries and stopped the outdoor socializing till there's a bit more clarity, warmer weather and maybe better masks for folks.https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/01/why-arent-we-wearing-better-masks/617656/ …
