    Confirmed new cases of #COVID19 have fallen across most of the USA - very good news. But it's not due to #vaccines -- les than a third of Americans are fully vaccinated. The downturn is thanks to masks & distancing. Common sense rocks. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20210426&instance_id=29747&nl=the-morning&regi_id=80724309&segment_id=56387&te=1&user_id=539834d832680a57fa7414bdd30c20e6 …

        So far, I'm spending much less time at our local farmer's market (Los Angeles county) than I would like, because even with socially distanced lines, my favorite vegetable stand cannot socially distance its customers adequately from each other.

        Umm, you're usually much better informed and objective than this. I guess it's Monday...

        It is due to everything, including vaccines, previous infections, and every other mitigating factor. Everything helps. Your tweet could be used as the basis for not getting vaccinated, it is irresponsible.

        I'm surprised that I see otherwise sensible people I follow following an anti-vaxxer who deceives the public and denies the effectiveness of vaccines and the results in TX, FL.

        Have felt like weather has played a huge role as the seasons change driving people inside or out. This might be the time of year where the fewest people are driven inside by heat or cold.

        Oh, so people just started wearing masks and distancing?

        This take is the opposite of common sense.

        You don't think that the 42.2% of the population that have taken 1 dose has had an effect? I think Gottlieb would disagree. Michigan and Minnesota may have recently been wearing more masks/distancing, but the rest of the country certainly isn't using this "common sense."

        This is a VERY bad Tweet by her. Absolutely ridiculous. Vaccine is having a major impact.
