Ok so maybe all of won’t get infected? Or we will but won’t be tested? Or 🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Now that we’re all in one of two groups - infected or about to be - can we have some real talk about the 10 day quarantine rule, which is really just a guess? https://t.co/HM6NPbQh3U — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@edmundlee Yup that’s the arb play. Farther west you go from the Hudson, the cheaper and more plentiful. Having some couried over from Arizona next week. — PolitiTweet.org

@dcopaken @theeashleyray @CDCgov Yeah we went 10 days ago, when lines were just starting to form again. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@dcopaken @theeashleyray @CDCgov Yeah I dragged the kids to a mobile lab just so we could get their results into the system so their school could officially start its protcols. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@dcopaken @theeashleyray @CDCgov You probably know this already but NYC test and trace has no interest in your at home results or even rapid tests. Pcr only. — PolitiTweet.org

Carbone is still fully booked. — PolitiTweet.org

@TonyRomm Ending my 10 day quar today. Cheers and happy tweeting! I hope it brings you comfort. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@TonyRomm No. The seatbelt analogy is self-testing before you attend a gathering. Differentiate between things that help and things that are theater. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@TonyRomm NYC has lots of masking, lots of vax requirements, lots of covid. Unless you’re going to shutter restaurants and bars, ban indoor gatherings etc, this is going to spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to hearing from former THR editor @MattBelloni, who is now newslettering himself. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Decoder ring: Penske owns both Hollywood trades - Variety + Hollywood Reporter - as well as Rolling Stone. Min used to run Hollywood Reporter, and has hired a top writer there to go work with with her and Richard Rushfield, whose Ankler newsletter routinely dings THR and Variety. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook thought it couldn’t buy anything social anymore, but that scooping up VR/Metaverse stuff was fine. Not so fast. https://t.co/gK4QEEymr3 — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide Funny that’s how I responded to getting Covid. Semi-recommend — PolitiTweet.org

INBOX: We are moving our back to office plans (again) from January to 🤷‍♂️. Seriously we have no idea, don’t even ask. ALSO INBOX: Just circling back to see if you’re getting on a plane and coming to CES next month and would you like to meet my thinkfluencer client? Please? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@danprimack Ps this is from Amazon which had already moved my Whole Foods orders from an actual store to a much less good warehouse: https://t.co/rjzb9OTwTs — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@danprimack Yup. Still, time and space remain in effect. And there’s no way gopuff should be able to lease that space it has in soho/Tribeca unless the market is permanently f’d - which means the market of people willing to pay for that is f’d. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@michaelpachter Could be. https://t.co/F2qkeSUdaz — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Useful for everyone here. Tldr: When you get your breakthrough Covid case, you isolate for 10 days (tho you can probably do less w/out endangering anyone - medical staff do 7) and then carry on. Important: You don’t “test out” of isolation. Can be in your system for some time. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Btw even Amazon - Amazon! - has stopped giving its Prime members free grocery delivery. Now $10 a trip. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

A more recent memory for the rest of us: Remember how Uber used to be as cheap or cheaper than a taxi and then once Uber decided to stop losing so much money it got way more expensive (and Uber is still losing money?). Imagine that but even more obvious. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

For the non-olds: Kozmo was a one hour delivery service that brought you DVDs or Ben & Jerry’s or anything else you were too stoned or too lazy to get yourself. It lost money on every trip. The new breed of these - there are a ton of them - promises 15 minute delivery. — PolitiTweet.org

I told friends recently that the https://t.co/c5oZnLa7Cv model has been revived - only this time investors are pouring billions, not millions into it - and they didn’t believe me, bc who would be that stupid? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@zachweinberg You could certainly argue that NYC DOE’s quarantine rules should change to reflect reality but that’s not going to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@zachweinberg And also: I don’t know what we do with vulnerable populations (except ignore them/tell them to isolate themselves indefinitely) — PolitiTweet.org
