    1. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 26 May 2020

      1/ every few days I click over to the NYT (masochism, I guess) and they're always ranting about the anxiety and fear that "we're all" experiencing bc of the pandemic and ... I just don't get it. Why is anyone anxious or fearful? This is just an engineering problem.

      2/ Minimize your time out. Don't go to crowded places. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. The end. Why would anyone be fearful or anxious?

          Because common sense isn’t so common, nor does it drives engagement metrics.

          My current metaphor: * X% of people are secretly mass shooters * And you don't notice you got hit for weeks, at which point you've *also* been a mass shooter for at least days, infecting subset of everyone around you including family. * Masks help, but it's not certain.

          "Is this person a mass shooter?" "If I go to the park, am I going to get winged by a bullet" "Am I secretly a mass shooter yet?" "Given that half of cases are asymptomatic and 40% of *them* end up with lung damage, is this shortness of breath allergies or not?"

          i'm out and about quite often, i don't see any anxious people. just cautious and polite (except, as you might imagine, teenagers - but this is evergreen). it's just an op.

          I wear a gas mask: gloves and it’s good enough to retreat to the hidden fortress. Rely on armor and you should be secure

          Replying to @MorlockP

          Because the public health officials in this country never had a consistent, underlying mechanistic framework for the guidance -- this is a *respiratory* virus that spread by *droplets* that hang in the air, especially inside, when people *talk or breathe*

          It was, instead, pop psych & amateur sociology to cover up for the lack of masks and PPE at the very beginning, which then led irretrievably to cargo cult lockdown & social distancing
