      Health Nerd Retweeted Chelsea Hetherington

      While the evidence for interventions for COVID-19 is mixed, the one consistent factor is that implementing them early is both a) hard b) FAR more effective A short lockdown now may prevent a much longer one later!https://twitter.com/chelsea_hetho/status/1328888726068465664 …

      #BREAKING: South Australia will begin a six-day ‘circuit-breaker’ lockdown from midnight tonight. Only one person per household will be able to leave the home each day for specific reasons, with masks to become mandatory in all areas. @abcnews

      Study analyzes the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) implemented across 79 territories & found less disruptive and costly NPIs (e.g. wearing masks) can be as effective as more intrusive & drastic ones (e.g. national lockdown) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-020-01009-0 …
