It's the persistent background sound of an ominous minor chord signaling COVID cases to those of us who specialize in Infectious Diseases — never going away, ...

Priya Nori noted to me during a recent discussion on this topic, we’ll be reducing our risk of viral respiratory infections at least half the day — and some risk mitigation is better than none. Figure that half the motivation to attend these meetings (at least) is for this kind of networking. And humbled. With a whole lot of dissonance — the sound of those two chords, major and minor, playing together. Minor if we’re caring for the immunocompromised and/or older and frail, or leading our infection control team at your hospital, or managing tight clinical schedules with people dropping out for 7–10 days for COVID, or responding to queries about COVID — the volume of which correlates perfectly with local wastewater concentrations of SARS-CoV-2. Masked while indoors at the meeting, unmasked while sharing lunches, drinks and dinners with colleagues we haven’t seen in ages. And tired. And nervous. The very definition of two-faced — yes, literally! Or that many of us, in our non-ID time, have gone to weddings, parties, gyms, restaurants, concerts … Playing at the same time is a different chord, in a happy major key — probably C major, no less. Sniffles again are allergies, sore throats and coughs no more ominous than what they were before the pandemic.
