Thinking of buying a camera other than my iPhone but the options are overwhelming. Sensor size, DSLR vs mirrorless, lens options. I don’t know anything about a lot of these details. Input welcome!

My comments to @time.com on the potential change in CDC guidance: “a reckless anti-public-health policy that goes against science, encourages disease spread, and puts everyone at risk. The bare minimum we should have learned from this devastating pandemic is that we should stay home when sick.”

Not all experts are as optimistic. Lucky Tran, a science communicator at Columbia University, called the potential end of five-day isolation periods “a reckless anti-public-health policy that goes against science, encourages disease spread, and puts everyone at risk. The bare minimum we should have learned from this devastating pandemic that has killed and disabled millions is that we should stay home when sick.” The rumored adjustment “would completely ignore the continued suffering” of people who are immunocompromised, chronically ill, disabled, or otherwise at heightened risk of severe COVID-19, Tran adds.
