Saved this until just now, glad I did. Great read. — PolitiTweet.org

@zeynep Yup. I was asking what info a test would give you - that is, if a negative result would give you go-ahead to leave isolation etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@zeynep (And if I had extra home tests I would have given them to my friends searching frantically for them.) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@zeynep I was told that you weren’t supposed to “test out” of quarantine. I isolated for 7 days bc that was the standard medical staff were using. Didn’t take rapid tests bc they were already in short supply. Didn’t take pcr tests bc I was told they could show positive for weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

@zeynep Why keep testing? — PolitiTweet.org

@JesseDrucker You did! Happy new year — PolitiTweet.org

Many thanks to Ashley, the most excellent podcast biz chronicler. And thanks to everyone who listened in 2021 - and bonus thanks to @_JelaniCarter for his round-the-clock help. See you next week, month, year. — PolitiTweet.org

Hooray! I assumed this would happen months from now, well after the wave. https://t.co/3LA11zb0ZO — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki They are smartly moving away from “testing out” of quarantine. Virus can show up in test results for quite some time. And, sadly, at least for the near future we should assume tests aren’t easy to come by, anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWechsler And/or; If you making a doc about the greatest athlete or greatest band of all time - *and* you have access to rare footage - go long. Everyone who cares about band/jock will watch. If it’s about anyone else - unless you are making it for a niche audience - go short. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeremyKalin Ymmv. We did die hard one and two last year. One was fine for them - tho they complained first part was too slow. Two was rough with the icicle through the eye and the passage plane that blows up. — PolitiTweet.org

Seeing lots of magical thinking about Omicron - “I won’t get it if…” - and over-the-top pessimism. Calibrate for the middle. — PolitiTweet.org

Because this way the mayor can say that he hasn’t closed schools. The schools just closed themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Spotify’s top lawyer - and one of the most prominent Apple antitrust critics - is headed to Disney. Assuming he’s going to stop showing up at Congressional hearings and lacing into a long-standing Disney partner. https://t.co/xOhSISiHF3 — PolitiTweet.org

New email: “As of today, approximately 70% of our school is under a partial quarantine, with 9 confirmed cases. 25% of staff are absent in quarantine, sick, or home with a sick or quarantined child. Depending on what tomorrow looks like, we may have to combine classes.” — PolitiTweet.org
