Oddbean new post about login | logout Warning: A) this won't be in any order & B) you might find some of my ideas reasonable, & some surprising or unworkable 1st: Even if Biden Admin/your state isn't going to use ANY of the inherent police powers of the state to protect public health & safety with mandatory orders (e.g., occasional mask orders), they could AT LEAST be providing reliable & accurate information. Eg: FDA certifies the antigen tests. FDA says you need 2-3 tests, 48h apart, to rule out infection https://progressives.social/@chargrille/111133637579725290 https://sb-progressives.b-cdn.net/media_attachments/files/111/145/534/102/116/279/original/68a1522e5fa5e9bf.png
A caring & diligent government would inform you of this, & clearly state the guidelines. Not suggest you can a) take one antigen test & disregard your risk to others, or b) not test at all. Second, we need a federal agency (perhaps the new "Long Covid" group, since the CDC has apparently abandoned its statutory role) that funds #COVID monitoring & actually does it. Federal govt should fund sampling at *every single* #Wastewater treatment plant in the US. There is no reason not to do this.
