"suppressed unfavorable facts, dispensed dangerous misinformation, dismissed public health professionals, and promoted the views of scientific dissenters" - this is hyperbolic, and, again, a political hack job that has more to do with opinion than fact.

It's not unlike a horde going after a doge patronizing Galileo for daring to say that the earth revolves around the sun. The thing about science is that you need free inquiry, not authoritarianism or hysteria.

The common suggestion that he is murdering people... Okay, who do you want to die? Do you want kids and people with mental illness killing themselves? Do you want poor service workers to starve? Erasing them from the discussion of 'saving lives' is callous at best.

you have to provide support in general, there should have been more support, and there still can be. but you bring up a false dichotomy because lockdowns are only necessary when things get out of hand. if masks and other efforts are followed, disease control is possible.

I would counter that none of it is necessary and that there is no proof that masks or social distancing do a damn thing - if they did, NY/NJ/CA wouldn't be having so many problems. The problem with 'support' is that it's somebody's tax dollars...

that’s completely untrue. masks work; which is a frankly reasonable prior position to take, and now there’s really ample evidence. i don’t know where to begin. and people should get support proportionate to need and certainly in fairness trillions were printed to support corps.

Half the country disagrees with you, and there's no proof that they do work - again, if they did, we wouldn't be seeing skyrocketing case numbers in parts of the world that have gone overboard with these things. The corporate welfare is disgusting, yes.

the fact that ND / SD lead the world per capita despite the difference in population density doesn’t do anything for you? it’s not the only factor. the data by state shows a clear trend https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/21546014/mask-mandates-coronavirus-covid-19 …pic.twitter.com/dMmC7AWeOr

Fake news - ND requires masks. Compare reported cases from SD with cases that were missed in NY.
Looking at seasonality explains more with this than anything else.
I wouldn't put it past overwhelmingly lefty public health employees to cook the books here as they did in FL..1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

ND only issued a mask mandate 3 weeks ago. how do you make the estimate of missed cases and factor out the population density, transport use, etc. NY / NJ / CA do confound analysis. here’s a study from germanyhttps://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1334839410026799105 …

Compared to other non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI), masks are easy and cheap. |@PNASNewsShow this thread2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
