Good morning in sad, jealous tweets. All schools in Taiwan have been open since February. They did not listen to China or WHO in January and immediately masked up and shut down travel. They also traced the hell out of their outbreaks. They were practically done by February.

It's July of 2020 and Americans are still not being informed correctly about what's actually high-risk. Just linking here to one of my many exasperated threads over many months. No and no, beaches aren't the key issue. Crowded indoors are.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1276587493316595712 …

If you want so see a *really* exasperated thread, here's one that starts with my March NYT op-ed on masks--why telling people not to wear them was going to end up backfiring and hurting us all when the evidence was finally conceded that we needed masks.

Fauci: "We have to admit it, that that mixed message in the beginning, even though it was well meant to allow masks to be available for health workers, that was detrimental in getting the message across." Should have just said, sorry, there's a shortage.https://twitter.com/NPRHealth/status/1278476238189780997 …

This is how done Taiwan is. They had a Pride parade. With any epidemic, acting today is always better than acting tomorrow. They acted in January.https://twitter.com/oramyw/status/1278330348170960898 …

It's clear we've lost this battle. Only question is how high our casualty rate will be. Now I know how the Union soldiers must have felt advancing on Mayres Ridge in December 1862. HOPELESS.https://www.fredericksburg.com/union-troops-sent-on-suicide-mission/article_b7d9a2e1-460c-55be-afcf-c88fd28eb819.html …

There is some thought that some of the population has pre-existing immunity. Various studies about why someone in a household getting it hasn't always led to everyone else following.

The 1918 virus took 2 years to subside. I think 2021 is being very optimistic. Quite possibly 2022 is more likely.
