    Wow sounds like relying on personal responsibility for public health doesn't work Who could've predicted this*????? *every expert, every single one, we all said it over and over againhttps://twitter.com/News_8/status/1329135843093733378 …

    Gov. Cuomo on following COVID-19 rules: "If you’re socially distant, and you wore a mask, and you were smart, none of this would be a problem — it's all self imposed. If you didn't eat the cheesecake you wouldn't have a weight problem."

        Including every single public-health expert working on obesity who knows that whether or not you eat the cheesecake has little to do with any weight problem!

        That's become South Africa's messaging "it's all in your hands now" "only you can prevent the 2nd wave" etc 😐

        Sometimes I think this message was invented in Europe last Spring and then translated into 100 different languages to mislead everybody -- and here we are. In the US, the corollary was: "We just have to get rid of Trump. It's all his fault."

        When you talk about *every* expert, quite a chunk of experts in the West privately exprssed the belief that only a vaccine was worth investing in, that no other measures was meaningful to eliminate the contagion. Just mitigate the horror and hope for a vax. That became policy.

        True. Provided you place quotation marks around "experts."

        Sadly this inherent idea that most Canadians will do what’s best, of the own accord, has crippled our response. When in fact what works is a bit of leadership
