Always punch up, never down!

@MikeDunnAuthor I agree, but the Right often believe they're punching-up, (for example) defending the powerless billionaires against the bloggers, lecturers in queer theory, and 'woke' librarians who hold the real power in society.

@auschwitzmuseum I recall Tadeusz Borowski in (as it's called in English) "This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen" about his time as an (unofficial?) kapo in Auschwitz, at some point they stopped gassing Aryan[ish]* Poles who did as they were told, which in his case involved the ad hoc murder of prisoners almost at random…which contributed to his suicide after the war.

*Nazis believed there were lost Aryans among the Poles, going so far as to kidnap some Polish children to Germans to raise.

CDC advisers planned to put out weakened hospital infection control guidelines, which suggested that N95 respirators are no more protective than surgical masks.

Advocates pushed back, and now the CDC are reconsidering and sending the draft back for revision!

Another issue relevant to preventing transmission through air is to make sure that a draft set of recommendations cannot be misread to suggest equivalency between facemasks and NIOSH Approved respirators, which is not scientifically correct nor the intent of the draft language. Although masks can provide some level of filtration, the level of filtration is not comparable to NIOSH Approved respirators. Respiratory protection remains an important part of personal protective equipment to keep healthcare personnel safe.

Based on the significant interest in the draft recommendations, CDC is taking a proactive step of communicating back to HICPAC some initial questions and comments on which we would like additional consideration before submitting the guideline into the Federal Register for public comment. In addition, CDC is working to expand the scope of technical backgrounds of participants on the HICPAC Isolation Guideline Workgroup and eventually among the committee members through established processes in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) regulations and guidance. The expanded workgroup and the HICPAC with the newly appointed members will review and discuss these additional considerations and guideline at the next HICPAC meeting, which is open to the public.

    They may have, perhaps without meaning to do, or intentionally but out of sheer exhaustion, decided they'd better just follow W.C. Fields' Uncle Charlie's advice and stopped trying to smarten-up chumps.
