Just was at MDW. The announcements (about Federal "mask law" and distancing) were constant, and the place was overall pretty empty. Plane was fairly full.

Had a cheezborger at the Billy Goat for the first time ever. Last time too.
I used to like flying midway because they had one midwest fast food place I liked, and I slowly learned most of the rest of the food was middling, overpriced or both.

MDW is convenient for us, because Allegiant flies out of PGD. 10 minutes away.

The reasons remain somewhat unclear, and there is no guarantee that the decline in caseloads will continue. But the turnaround is now large enough — and been going on long enough — to deserve attention.

The number of new daily cases in the U.S. has fallen 35 percent since Sept. 1:
Worldwide, cases have also dropped more than 30 percent since late August. “This is as good as the world has looked in many months,” Dr. Eric Topol of Scripps Research wrote last week.
These declines are consistent with a pattern that regular readers of this newsletter will recognize: Covid’s mysterious two-month cycle. Since the Covid virus began spreading in late 2019, cases have often surged for about two months — sometimes because of a variant, like Delta — and then declined for about two months.
Epidemiologists do not understand why. Many popular explanations, like seasonality or the ebbs and flows of social distancing, are clearly insufficient, if not wrong. The two-month cycle has occurred during different seasons of the year and occurred even when human behavior was not changing in obvious ways.
The most plausible explanations involve some combination of virus biology and social networks. Perhaps each virus variant is especially likely to infect some people but not others — and once many of the most vulnerable have been exposed, the virus recedes. And perhaps a variant needs about two months to circulate through an average-sized community.
Human behavior does play a role, with people often becoming more careful once caseloads begin to rise. But social distancing is not as important as public discussion of the virus often imagines. “We’ve ascribed far too much human authority over the virus,” as Michael Osterholm, an infectious-disease expert at the University of Minnesota, has told me.
The recent declines, for example, have occurred even as millions of American children have again crowded into school buildings.

Yup, new virus with unusual features, most of which unknown and unanticipated earlier.  An early fear was it could be spread by touch from surfaces, now largely discounted.

And yet folks continue to be extra vigilant cleaning surfaces, probably for no reason on COVID.

Just how effective is mask-wearing? Here's what 3 new studies found. (advisory.com)

The face mask controversy continues of course, but newer data does show some efficacy from what I've seen. 

Then we have the various and sundry "treatments" off label which get popularity at times from dubious sources.

Is that one of those highly discounted airlines?

Yes, and what the large print giveth, the fine print taketh away.

Holiday Tips (cdc.gov)

I just … I don’t know if places are always generating stupid content, but this is just a case of attention going to it, or if they’re just hell bent on getting attention, even if they look stupid doing it (sometimes an upside play).

It's from the CDC. They probably shouldn't be seeking attention at this point.

Kinda.

We use them for convenience. We both got their credit card, which gave us points. With the card, the second person flies free, and you get free food/dranks (including booze).

You pay for a carry-on, checked bags, seat selection. We always choose the front of the plane, for more room. The last trip to MDW (before we got the card on the way back) was $225 total, for both of us.

Ahh. That second person flies free is big. I’m always interested what the points actually translate to in terms of money.
