Questions for Dr Allison Berry:
1. Is the RSV vaccine just the monoclonal antibody, brand name Synagis?
Do adults need five shots like babies?
Can any of the ingredients cause an allergic reaction?
2. Is it worth getting new booster that does not have the new variant?
3. I was disappointed when I tried to join two PT choirs for fall concerts, and learned that masking for each is optional.
At one, out of about 60 singers, 2 of us wore masks. So I didn't join.
The second hasn't yet met, but masking is optional, so I expect the same.
Both of these groups meet almost all of the criteria for indoor masking.
Would you consider this safe behavior?
People love to sing, so perhaps they consider the joy of singing as more important than picking up long Covid?
4. This is such a good article. Can you please summarize it for all of us? It is a lot to take in.

Question for Willie Bence:
1. How do you put out fires like the recent Beaver Valley with no fire hydrants?
Can you tap into wells?
How big a fire can be handled in an area that is not near hydrants with local and close responders?
