I spent the last couple days hiking in the Adirondacks. It was my first time back since December 2019. I summited two peaks, Esther Mountain on Monday and Whiteface Mountain on Tuesday. They're both "hike to the top (in snowshoes in winter)" type summits. Both hikes went well. I had some issues with my glasses freezing over on Whiteface, and I probably should have put my goggles on, the goggles I've carried on almost every winter hike but never once used. The wind was really strong up there, and the trail was hard to find amidst the bare rock. I wish I'd taken some pictures of the building up there. It's only open in the summer, and it was completely caked with snow. They've had high winds and rain and snow. I didn't take any pictures because of the wind and losing visibility. 
Have we not learned a goddamn thing
I'm somewhat surprised to learn this study was undertaken. I'm more surprised that they would publish the findings. On the other hand, should there be a case of GX_P2V human to human transmission, we'll have no doubt on where to allocate the blame.
Regardless of exactly how correct the analogy is, I think we'd be wise to begin treating covid exposure more like HIV. Can't wait to be scolded by economists for this hot take.
Gardening! Tomatoes! (growing very nicely) Cucumbers (they snuck up, I didn't see these until yesterday, very well hidden) Chillies! (this is very new, still got the flower at the end but I was excited) So I will have a bountiful harvest, and likely more than I will be able to eat, so friends and family will have impromptu salads and veggies forced upon them.
