Is anyone familiar with all the reaction videos out there? It has occupied much of my time during Covid.
We are hooked on Uncle Roger videos, and reaction videos to Uncle Roger videos (note: they are occasionally not family-friendly).
I don't understand the concept of reaction videos.
Patience is a virtue......Okay ... it's officially "tomorrow." Where's that story?
I've gotta to to our other house ( that's almost ready to rent) and get the 24' ladder so we can mount the wreath up where it belongs....
Later tonight I plan to....
Reaction videos are fine, IMO, they're largely harmless. They're like the reality TV of youtube, they're not exactly high brow but they're fine. But also like TV they have a REALLY toxic culture. Not a fan, personally but they're fine.
I also can't stop thinking of this video when I see reaction videos.

Fascinating and part of why this stuff keeps spreading TBH.
There's an adblock paywall so I'll highlight some key info.
"The results of the study, for which Lee and other epidemiologists enlisted the help of an engineer who specializes in aerodynamics, were published last week in the Journal of Korean Medical Science. The conclusions raised concerns that the widely accepted standard of six feet of social distance may not be far enough to keep people safe.
The study — adding to a growing body of evidence on airborne transmission of the virus — highlighted how South Korea’s meticulous and often invasive contact tracing regime has enabled researchers to closely track how the virus moves through populations....
“There’s a real misconception about this in the public,” said Seung, who was not involved in the South Korea study. “They’re thinking, if I’m not a close contact, I will magically be protected.”....
The South Korean study began with a mystery. When a high school senior "A" in Jeonju tested positive for the virus on June 17, epidemiologists were stumped because the city hadn’t had a coronavirus case in two months....
Linsey Marr, a civil and environmental engineering professor at Virginia Tech who studies the transmission of viruses in the air, said the five-minute window in which the student, identified in the study as “A,” was infected was notable because the droplet was large enough to carry a viral load, but small enough to travel 20 feet through the air.
“‘A’ had to get a large dose in just five minutes, provided by larger aerosols probably about 50 microns,” she said. “Large aerosols or small droplets overlapping in that gray area can transmit disease further than one or two meters [3.3 to 6.6 feet] if you have strong airflow.”....
Lee and his team re-created the conditions in the restaurant — researchers sat at tables as stand-ins — and measured the airflow. The high school student and a third diner who was infected had been sitting directly along the flow of air from an air conditioner; other diners who had their back to the airflow were not infected. Through genome sequencing, the team confirmed the three patients’ virus genomic types matched.
“Incredibly, despite sitting a far distance away, the airflow came down the wall and created a valley of wind. People who were along that line were infected,” Lee said. “We concluded this was a droplet transmission, and beyond” 6.6 feet.
The pattern of infection in the restaurant showed it was transmission through small droplets or larger aerosols either landing on the face or being breathed in, said Marr, the Virginia Tech professor who was not involved in the study. The measured air velocity in the restaurant, which did not have windows or a ventilation system, was about 3.3 feet per second, the equivalent of a blowing fan.
“Eating indoors at a restaurant is one of the riskiest things you can do in a pandemic,” she said. “Even if there is distancing, as this shows and other studies show, the distancing is not enough.”"

Thanks for the advice, MROO. Yeah, I didn't say anything. She's my only friend, I can't afford to alienate her. I hope your senses come back soon, too. My XH lost his to chemo for leukemia, I think it took around a year before he could really taste again, but eventually it did come back. May need to be patient.
Thanks, PopTart. I'm okay, really, but I'll keep that in mind. I'm sorry you and @MROO and so many others have gotten sick.
