@zachweinberg I think this is right - certainly reflects my personal experience. But, also: *It has real non-hospital knock-on effects. NYC schools, for instance, are buckling already. Systems swamped with case reporting; kids home for 10 day stretches require people to watch them etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@arainert It was cresting before that, sadly. You could see it just with the eye test, as lines started forming outside urgent cares again. — PolitiTweet.org

Jason Kilar won’t be CEO of WarnerMedia when/if the AT&T/Discovery deal goes through next year. Meantime he has plenty on his plate - he tells me he weighed in on Chris Cuomo’s firing - and thoughts about the future of movies, video, ads, gaming and more. https://t.co/Ubdhk9SRBI — PolitiTweet.org

One of the reasons (also, narcissism) I shared my covid status. When I tell people I have it some of them drop their voice and tell me they got it too, but for some reason want to keep it private. Seems better that we know how common it is/becoming. Again. https://t.co/2IX2i55kJY — PolitiTweet.org

And that’s what I think we’ll see more of this winter - at least in certain places and demos: A request to self-test before showing up for a big xmas gathering or wedding etc. It won’t catch everything, but at least it’s a gesture of goodwill. Happy holidays! And good luck. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Instead I’d tell you to get comfortable-ish with the idea that we’re going to have a lot of breakthrough cases this winter. The one thing I’d do differently in retrospect would have been to have all of us take an at home test before we went for dumplings. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the part of a Covid thread where I’m supppsed to tell you to Get Vaxxed! but you already are. — PolitiTweet.org

My barely-educated guess is we all got Delta, as did all the other folks lining up to get tested at urgent care and mobile labs right now. My NYC ER doc friend says he’s seeing 90% Delta in this current surge. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

No mystery about where I got it - it’s from a really good dinner I had at an NYC restaurant with 9 friends. At least four of us came down with it afterwards. We were all vaxxed, obviously. I had been boosted the day before. — PolitiTweet.org

Personal news: I got Covid! And passed it along to at least one of my kids. We’re all fine - symptoms felt like a mild flu at worst. Main problems were cancelling a lot of plans and being stuck with a 10-day quarantine. — PolitiTweet.org

@RadioFreeBR Fwiw docs and testing folks I’ve talked to believe the current surge is 90% delta. Omnicrom is still to come. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bernstein But also this review says the movie is a waste of your time and then spells out why in mind-numbing detail and purple prose. If it’s an Infinte Jest-style meta joke you need to let me know, because I stopped reading when there was quite a bit of scroll left. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bernstein Oh no. — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide To be fair apple clearly contemplated a world where they took a cut of consumer transactions not b2b. Then again roku does both - they want ad inventory/share plus install/subscription bounties. Just that the former category is much bigger/attainable. — PolitiTweet.org
