      People need to hear this. It’s not just stay at home for a few weeks. We need long-term sustainable strategies: universal masking, test/trace and also plans for how to get through something that will last maybe years. Maybe we’ll get a bit lucky. No guarantee.https://twitter.com/dwallacewells/status/1251469910435418112 …

      The view from quarantine is deeply misleading—and falsely encouraging—about the state of the disease. (1/x) https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/we-are-probably-only-a-tenth-of-the-way-through-the-pandemic.html …

      All the “finally peaking” posts merely mean that a severe lockdown can get this thing to be less of a crisis for the moment. It’s not even the end of the beginning. We need people to understand this.

          Yes. Universal masks + 6-feet social distancing guidelines + investment in hand sanitizer usage and keeping public/business spaces clean are all basically required for this to not become a recurring set of outbreaks [which are harder to catch w/ our poor testing capacity so far]

          We are ALL going to catch coronavirus. What matters is IF you require time in hospital, you want to KNOW there is a ventilator waiting for you if you need it. Flatten the curve enough, all get a vent that need it. Call off #StayHome too soon? Your vent may be taken. Oops.

          The idea that a "plateau" or even a "downward trajectory" at 30k new cases/day means we can relax social distancing is about as wrong as it's possible to be.

          I’m curious how many NY infections since lockdown have been people who are self-quaranting, how many people working in service jobs like food, delivery, how many medical workers, and how many people who ignore social distancing. No reporting I’ve seen on sources of new infections

          It’s simple arithmetic: if no one has ever been exposed to this virus before late last year, how many people are going to be infected? Everyone.

          It's probably not, and if it were, our cloth masks wouldn't be that useful.
