A Concerned Scientist @BE@qoto.org

Movers are coming tomorrow. Things suddenly got real 😂

I just had the most mind-blowing conversation with a former colleague. Long story short, we're downsizing on our move and I'm trying not to send a whole bunch of perfectly good used furniture to the dump. I've contacted everywhere that I could theoretically donate it, and they're not taking any furniture. I've contacted every used furniture store, and they all say they're overstocked. One told us, "I'm going to sit here and take this exact phone call all day today." So I reached out to my contact list on my phone to see if anyone needed anything for free.

One person, whom I guess I haven't talked to much lately, ends up saying they could use something and I tell him we'll leave it in the driveway for him next week. The conversation ends up with me saying that we're avoiding as much indoor, face to face meetings as we can during this move.

He says, and I quote from the text, "You don't really believe in COVID, do you?"

I reply, "Yeah, the science is pretty straightforward."

He says, "Scientists are just conspiracy theorists."

I say, "You're a scientist. I know this because I hired you and you have a degree in biochemistry."

He says, "That was before I got my MBA and realized how the world really works. Science isn't real."

After masks, I'd like to add another graphic from the document, even though they had it a little earlier. This is about the "Size-dependent aerosol deposition mechanisms to sites in the respiratory tract." Want to keep them out of your respiratory tract? Masks.

The fifth component and legend.

Here's the infographics on the first 4 of the components.

At this point I'd like to share a couple of the images. I'm not great at alt text, but I'm going to give it my best here. I am limited character-wise and was not able to simply copy-paste all of the text into the alt-text.
