    TIL that “fomites” are surfaces, that you spread germs from by touching. Not foamy at all, humph.

    I suppose all the hand washing and sanitizing helped keep some other diseases to a minimum, and those of us in the general public wearing less-than-adequate masks to at least keep us from thoughtlessly touching our noses and mouths or coughing in each other’s faces. Avoiding a tripledemic that first year left more ICU space and equipment and nurses available for the COVID patients.

    Thank you.
