      *This* is what we should be talking about. The people at risk are the "essential workers" who can't work via zoom/slack, people in nursing homes and prisons, and people who attend crowded indoor places (restaurants/bars). We need to address the real risk.https://twitter.com/RanuDhillon/status/1279540201618993152 …

      Doctor in CA says COVID patients are almost all people of color working in food plants, nursing homes or low-wage service jobs. What's the photo media uses to illustrate the crisis? A beach, where people are outdoors and spaced out. This is a form for misinformation. @RanuDhillonpic.twitter.com/MXg7Ki2lRy

      Of course, the correspondent is naturally posing in front of a beach! Never mind that the most risk is to low-wage workers, nursing home residents, food plant employees, prisoners and *indoor* bar and restaurant goers! A vast random beach!pic.twitter.com/3zj40x6c84

      Yes Princeton, NJ known for *checks notes* its lack of beaches. Either that, or everybody kept a really solid secret from me the year I spent at Princeton University. But whatever, bring on the beach scolding.pic.twitter.com/qPImdhhmXG

      A breath of fresh air after all the moral outrage about beaches. Thanks @nytimes for these beautiful photos of people enjoying their lives safely. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/07/nyregion/nyc-beaches-open.html …

      95% of COVID deaths in Sweden are from people over 60, and almost 70% are from people over 80 mostly because Sweden did a terrible job protecting nursing homes and the elderly. What's the picture in the NYT Sweden article? Young people outdoors—among the least risky activities.pic.twitter.com/DLKSkTwq7s

      This was a weird article overall. They reference a "surge" of deaths but neglect to mention that their epidemic of deaths seems nearly over, despite opening more and more. The main point seems to be that their economy suffered like everyone else's, but the idea that this... 1/

      lesson should be extrapolated from a tiny country to large countries (or the world) seems a stretch, at best. 2/2 Attached are the intensive care and death graphs for Sweden. I'm not sure we have a full understanding of why they have not seen a resurgence as mobility increases.pic.twitter.com/008cNEMSYd

      Replying to @WesPegden @zeynep

      On the one hand I get it, people think Sweden behaved irresponsibly, and it's true they had far more deaths than their neighbors. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to understand what is happening with their current situation! We can't afford to ignore sources of evidence.

      Unfortunately, the polarization and the moralizing has eaten into the coverage. We have a reasonable sense of risk-management and some open questions but it’s not really getting through.
