  Tbh I didn't bother getting boosted cause ill still catch it either way
context: That should be standard just as a general public health measure to know what is flowing into the country and not just for covid >
  
  Yeah, it would be a pretty easy way to test for lots of different things at once >
  
  Oh, that's actually a pretty good metric. We should also be testing city wastewater >
  
  Many places do.  You may have seen it discussed recently around the polio cases in NYC and London (iirc on locations).
  It's a really good way to get an overview of what is circulating in the population, without needing personal identifiers or individual collectons, and gives a bit of advance indication, since many diseases begin to show up in wastewater before they appear in drs offices etc where they are documented. >
  
  Why not just stop flights from China? >
  
  We need to get Southwest on this Pronto! >
  
  That is most certainly NOT going to provide us with the reaction time we need! >
  
  So don’t do it? >
  
  Like damn near any other human decision of consequence, don't stop there! >
  
  I don’t think they plan on it? Go let them know. >
  
  I feel like the US is going to get hit again.
  I was quadvaxed. Never had covid before, and got it for the first time a few days ago >
  
  I’m double vaxxed and boosted, I’ve caught covid 3 times since May of this year. Fucking ridiculous. I’m not taking active precautions but I also don’t spend a ton of time in big gatherings either.
