My kid's four-day tenure with in-person schooling has already delivered new concepts to our home. Last night's discussion for parents on "mask aesthetics" noted the face-covering spectrum - spanning "things I have to wear" to "muzzle." And, I was informed, the new silicone masks (with replaceable N95 filter) I bought the kids fall into the muzzle category. I now have an ample, personal, and rotating supply of reusable masks that will, per my kids, reassure others I do not bite.

A little bit of Law and Order: COVID Unit today. A pharmacist in Chicago is selling falsely filled-out CDC Vaccination cards for $10.99 on eBay. Disheartening. I'm sure this won't be the last of this.

Several loyal readers sent me this story - 0.007% of the 84 million vaccinated Americans have had breakthrough infections of COVID.

And the vaccine innovation continues, this time with gene-deleted killed bacteria programmed to produce various proteins on their outer coat. In this case, proteins common to all coronaviruses.

More trials of the vaccine in 12-15 year-olds, this time with Moderna.

And I will finish off today with an article from STAT news looking at forgotten but valuable lessons in public health from the U.S. Civil War.

Hopefully, I will get to test my newfound knowledge in the real world soon.

----Bonus Round- Shameless Plug
If you have time this weekend, I highly recommend the now virtual Annapolis Book Festival. It is free and has numerous hour-long moderated discussions with some outstanding authors. For full disclosure, some people very close to me (like married close) and I are volunteers. As a point of perspective, when not virtual, C-Span typically broadcasts these moderated discussions and panels. You can reserve a spot ahead of time as well.
