#5 Risks and harms cannot be completely eliminated, but they can be reduced. Elimination and zero-COVID strategies backfire, making things worse.

#6 Public health should focus on high-risk populations. For #COVID19, many standard public health measures were never used to protect high-risk older people, leading to unnecessary deaths.https://www.newsweek.com/we-should-focus-protecting-vulnerable-covid-infection-opinion-1543225 …
#7 While contact tracing and isolation is critically important for some infectious diseases, it is futile and counterproductive for common infections such as influenza and #COVID19.

#8 A case is only a case if a person is sick. Mass testing asymptomatic individuals is harmful to public health.https://web.archive.org/web/20201114071007/https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-case-against-covid-tests-for-the-young-and-healthy-11599151722 …
#9 Public health is about trust. To gain the trust of the public, public health officials and the media must be honest and trust the public. Shaming and fear should never be used in a pandemic. https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/528612-facts-not-fear-will-stop-the-pandemic … @camakridis
#10 Public health scientists and officials must be honest with what is not known. For example, epidemic models should be run with the whole range of plausible input parameters.https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/ …
#11 In public health, open civilized debate is profoundly critical. Censoring, silencing and smearing leads to fear of speaking, herd thinking and distrust.

#12 It is important for public health scientists and officials to listen to the public, who are living the public health consequences. This pandemic has proved that many non-epidemiologists understand public health better than some epidemiologists. / END https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1321785323676991489 …
Quarantine fatigue is caused as much from others not doing what they should as from doing it yourself.
Very true. China is a perfect example of trying to eliminating the virus. People inside don't feel they need the vaccine as there are basically no cases around them, but without herd immunity, the country can never open its door to the outside world.
Where has #COVIDzero backfired??
