A thread that started 2022-10-09 (before which I had no idea there were so many anthroporphization-of-a-disease Twitter accounts):

Covid19 ([twitter.com profile] friendlycovid19):
"Off to conference with my fellow infectious diseases! (You think only humans have conferences?) Looking forward to leading sessions on 'How to make humans pretend you don't exist' and 'Developing a good (immune) escape plan.' Any of my #pandemicposse gonna be there? #infectacon22
 
"Also there will be cheese cubes. #infectacon22"

Put a Mask on it ([twitter.com profile] patientadvAU):
"Will all your relatives be there?"

Covid19 ([twitter.com profile] friendlycovid19):
"Yes!
 
"Well, except BJ7.5 who has always been a little shy. They'll be attending remotely."

Measles ([twitter.com profile] AirborneMeasles):
"Oh I will totally be there. And I'll even be there for a few hours after everyone leaves! #pandemicposse #infectacon22"

Polio ([twitter.com profile] Polio2022):
"I will be there and presenting on the benefits of live attenuated vaccines in immunocompromised hosts. Also catch me afterwards for the dance party"

Michelle Fontenot ([twitter.com profile] mommyflommie):
"Will there be entertainment, perhaps a reading from 'Love in the Time of Cholera'?"

Covid19 ([twitter.com profile] friendlycovid19):
"[twitter.com profile] MildCholera ? Your call!"

King Cholera ([twitter.com profile] MildCholera):
"Yes!!! A lot of people don't realize that I'm the hero of that story!"

Ashley ([twitter.com profile] skogenskvinna):
"I'm guessing Polio will be there since their career is really hot again now. (Must have a great manager and PR team.) And be sure to say hi to Bubonic Plague! Such a legend."

Pandemic Patty ([twitter.com profile] PandemicPatty1):
"Plague is an ICON The real OG. I'm such a fan! I'd just DIE if we ever got to meet!"

Ashley ([twitter.com profile] skogenskvinna):
"Haters will say Plague and Polio were eradicated, but their true fans know they'll always re-emerge when the time is right!"

uninspired. ([twitter.com profile] noxidls):
"I've heard Ebola isn't that contagious and we shouldn't be too concerned. So the message is getting out!!"

Measles ([twitter.com profile] AirborneMeasles):
"And what, pray tell, did you hear about me?"

uninspired. ([twitter.com profile] noxidls):
"Very little lately, which means your time is here!"

Measles ([twitter.com profile] AirborneMeasles):
"Oh I knew it!! I'm trying so hard to make a comeback right now. #measles"

JNowak ([twitter.com profile] jlnowak):
"Do you know if the session 'How to make humans pretend you don't exist' covers escaping detection in rapid & home tests? "

Alyssa ([twitter.com profile] a_lil_bow):
"Let me know if Ebola has anything interesting to say! I hear they're trying to go international!!"

MB Devine ([twitter.com profile] devine_mb):
"Will there be a lot of break out sessions?"

Measles ([twitter.com profile] AirborneMeasles):
"Ohhhhhh I see what you did there."

rintakumpu ([twitter.com profile] rintakumpu1):
"'It warms my plasmids to see all your unmasked flagella here. With improvements in public health and sanitation, the last 100 years have been tough for us. But these in vivo events are important for the social and psychological well being of all pathogens.' -The Plague, patron."

And Dr. Rashid Kashani, BA, BSc, BScOT, MScOT, PhD ([twitter.com profile] RashidKashani), quote tweeting the start of that thread:
"Every time I see colleagues posting from in person conferences now."
