Augie Ray

I am often appalled at images of immunological conferences stuffed with people not wearing masks (even as some attend sessions on Long COVID.) So, I was pleased to see the photos from the 2025 international forum on COVID rehabilitation research this week. This is the way!

@augieray Oh wow is... is every single one of them masked? Such a rare thing!

@augieray I have not seen so many beautiful and caring people in a long time 🥰✊😷

@augieray Are you one of the people who participate in the weekly email research about your health? I am - and it is still around, but if you expand the data, nowhere as many cases as the past.

@augieray "OK now, put your masks on for the camera"

@KitsuneVixi Don't be a jerk. This is one photo of many from the event where everyone is masked. Why make a stupid speculative response when you could've actually searched for other photos before commenting?

@augieray I was making a joke, not speculating.

@KitsuneVixi Save the poor jokes for someone else's thread. I spend far too long trying to elevate people's knowledge of COVID to want to guess if someone is a failed comedian with a poor sense of humor or a critic of people taking care.

@augieray
Even PyCon US 2024 required masking at all times. It was a good thing.
