#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 …

#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

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/ …

#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 …
Could not agree more.
This is an excellent read. Contact tracing and subsequent quarantining is making educating kids in person and sports for kids almost impossible
It's only been useless to contact trace because we don't test, trace and isolate effectively. New Zealand, Taiwan, does it well.
