Anyone else notice that failed redaction attempt on slides 1 and 24?
At this point I always check, just because. Such a common failure mode.

Forever, or not another day. Depends on how we want to fight this.

what's wrong with masked world? it helps stop the spread of other airborne diseases as well, it filters out (to some extent) the smog, facial recognition software has more trouble, so we regain at least some privacy...

#14"Acknowledge the war has changed" Maybe it has? For example, DC has reported 11 homicides since its last reported COVID death.
This is an unfair comparison because covid death reporting lags far behind other data

We won't be. People will simply be unwilling to do so long term and what doesn't get prevented by vaccines will burn through the population until everyone has antibodies and the disease weakens and "the common cold kills people" becomes the new normal.
There have always been diseases around that killed people, we were lucky for quite a while because the rate was fairly low and now it seems to be permanently bumped up a bit again. Eventually the disease is going to run out of people to infect the first time.

Oh I don’t know, crushing depression, psychological atmosphere of fear, no biggy

Well it’s a good thing homicides aren’t a contagious disease then right? If not it might be under the jurisdiction of the Center For Disease Control.

Sorry, what did you say? I can't see through these fogged glasses.

The masks most people wear basically only diffuse sneezes and coughs which makes immediate droplet transfer lower.
A piece of ordinary cloth on your face does not filter smog, does not prevent any airborne infection droplets from reaching you, essentially only lowers the chance of your cough hitting somebody else. You need an N95 or better to really do anything to protect yourself. Also even if you have a high grade mask, wearing it so it actually seals to protect you is hard and most people don't do it well.

> facial recognition software has more trouble
Not really though.
