Good morning! It has been 358 days since the first documented human case of COVID-19. We are one week short of a year. There was some big political news over the weekend; hopefully this means that the period of political uncertainty will be short so that we can focus on fighting the pandemic again soon.
In the SNL cold open, a maskless Jim Carrey and Alec Baldwin, both ~60 years old, stood right next to each other arm in arm. I don't expect you to know exactly what protocols SNL is following, but even if testing right before the show I can't imagine this is particularly wise given testing error rates and rising covid rates in NYC. Is there a way they could be doing this that's legitimately safe?
I've been wondering if social distancing would result in reduced spread of other diseases, like flu. Is there any evidence of that?
