    This is so important. I see people wanting to doff masks at the slightest sign of improvement in the numbers. That's not how exponential increase works. You have to do what seems like more for what seems like too long. Haven't we learned this yet?https://twitter.com/RheaBoydMD/status/1424412005251706884 …

    The United Stats needs a UNIVERSAL mask mandate. PERIOD. The whole point of public health guidelines is to tell people what will keep them safe when the MAJORITY OF THE NATION IS ORANGE, not what they might be able to get away with, in areas that happen to *currently* be blue. pic.twitter.com/gDDujjdDSm

        You can’t negotiate with a virus! That’s what these people think they can do.

        Replying to @CherylRofer

        The funny part is it's really a procrastination pandemic. If we do a HARD, NATIONAL lockdown for at least a month, resumed tracing & hard-quarantine at borders, this could be all over in a couple months. But we keep dragging it out in this nightmare group-project from hell.

        Being sick and dying or becoming disabled is pretty inconveniencing. But yeah

        This just should not be as challenging as folks are making it (especially the CDC). I still cringe when certain federal officials were saying “it’s time to take your mask off”. Like, what reality were y’all living in?

        No, we have not learned this. We adopt mitigation behaviors too late and abandon them too soon.
