        I'm sure we could argue about whether the interventions worked or not, but regardless saying "the models were wrong" when we took action to change the modeled outcomes is a very silly thing to say

        It's the stupidity. I never could have predicted it. I watched all the disaster movies, Contagion, & what I never anticipated it was how many stupid people would be blabbing, 'It's all a liberal hoax,' 'more people die of flu every year than this,' etc.

        This should strength the case to do something now to avoid a climate pandemic

        Same thing happened on climate change, as per the tweet u cited. Societies limited CFC production to mitigate ozone depletion, which also mitigated global warming since CFCs are also powerful greenhouse gases. Right-wing denialists then trolled @hausfath https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019GL085378?casa_token=ihnMx4QnwsQAAAAA%3AEND7tQSRSRWc7zSQEoynZJqrh7tg4P0AeymF1QQJIQNNdJSPfqbBUjtUB1CUn9WSlR6u6r79a4iYHA …pic.twitter.com/x9TLm5QruG

        Sounds like a willful misinterpretation of the opinion that we're still riding the first wave, but reducing the attenuation as we reopen businesses.

        Isn't this pretty much the bane of an epidemiologist's existence? If you make recommendations that society then takes so that disease spread is contained, then the aftermath becomes, "See, it wasn't THAT bad."pic.twitter.com/JeIxhmsTxs
