And this final pandemic piece is a distilled shot of the argument I’ve been brewing for 3 yrs. This has been soul-crushing work. We constantly forfeited the chance to do better. But that chance still exists, and we can’t afford the luxury of nihilism. 6/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…

Apparently Biden’s definition of “pandemic” is “people he can see are wearing masks and not in great shape”. Honestly, if I were one of his science advisors I would be mortified that he still hasn’t understood the basic concept.
“The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over,” President Biden tells 60 Minutes in an interview in Detroit. cbsn.ws/3DDT4D9

What the hell?!?! Not allowing hybrid for Covid+ students (and staff) is incredibly irresponsible and unsafe - please read the whole thread!
Replying to @hgsuuaw
7/15email to summer faculty“We understand the desire to assist students who have tested positive for COVID by Zooming them….However, we need to be consistent with our policy of not creating a hybrid environment in an on-campus course for the benefit of a student who has Covid.”
