      I saw a tweet about how there isn’t enough discussion of what experts got wrong on COVID, so here’s a thread of things I got wrong.pic.twitter.com/jjs8AhGpLQ

      Let’s start at the beginning: Jan 2020, I thought COVID would be contained relatively quickly with case counts on the order of SARS in 2003. This was a reasonable guess but clearly wrong.

      Feb 2020, I thought test, trace, and isolate/quarantine would be sufficient to control COVID in the US. I didn’t count on the CDC tests being so awful that we basically had no idea who was infected.

      Jan/Feb 2020: I thought community-level face mask use wouldn’t help. I based this on studies of the flu, which indicated community mask wearing mostly didn’t work & that sick people were the ones that needed masks. I was wrong. I didn’t know how much asymptomatic COVID we had.

      March/April 2020: I thought vaccine approval would be 12-18 months away. I didn’t factor in how much quicker trials would go with rampant COVID spread & how efficient the government could be at approval. I’m very glad to have been wrong on this.

          Jan 2021: I expected the fall/winter peak to subside much more slowly than it did. I saw people going back to work & school, after the holidays and expected that to prolong transmission. But the sacrifices we made around the holidays paid off & the surge ended pretty abruptly.

          and... that’s pretty much it. The summer surge, the fall surge, and the current spring uptick all played out pretty much as I expected. I wish I were wrong more, honestly. It might make it easier to watch the people in power make the same mistakes over and over again.

          What do I see coming in the next few months? We’re opening too fast, the variants are spreading, & vaccinations aren’t going to keep increasing at this pace. If we aren’t careful, we’ve got another big surge coming as variants over take vaccinations. I hope I’m wrong.

          You were much more hopeful and better informed than I was on this score. I'm ecstatic that you were wrong and also right-er than I was.

          You weren't that far off from the early range. I would call this one a push.
