Who knows? That's not Woodward's decision to make. The public isn't a bunch of toddlers whose reactions are to be pre-judged and managed—as it was done with masks and also with the airborne issue. It was on Woodward to share these important revelations. https://twitter.com/Alagai/status/1303750709825998850 …

I would like to banish "oh, you're surprised"; "everyone knows/knew this"; "it wouldn't make a difference" from our vocabulary. That savvy, cynical stance is, in effect, paralysis posing as sophistication.

This is what's called "hindsight bias."

The CDC has become a joke with Trump political operatives that support the “do nothing” strategy & minimize the virus.

It was only obvious to people watching what was happening with Lunar new year in China.

Insane! I remember everyone focusing on funk flying out of faces of symptomatic (!) people and concerns about opening packages of stuff made in China. We laypeople didn’t even know it Was spread asymptomatically

Lots of revisionism going on. I remember visiting Costco in Durham in early March, just as things were heating up- lots of gloves on (!) but no masks, except for me.

I remember this fondly because that is the last time I have entered any store. Since I’m post-transplant, have been sheltered in place since March except visits to Duke transplant

I was paying attention to you months ago though maybe not Feb. also to Asian-American people in neighborhood (near downtown PDX) who started wearing masks by late March, if not a little sooner also to E Bromage article on viral load airborne transmission seemed plausible

Even if it was well known, the fact that Trump was clearly aware of those facts and chose instead to mislead and amplify contrary voices, creating a climate of confusion, is damning. A man who lies about a caravan before a midterm doesn’t get to hide behind “no panic” defense.

I was following this in January, started prepping in early February, and my family began self-isolating on March 13. And I STILL didn't know how it would play out at that point, let alone whether it was airborne or fomite driven or what. I washed my groceries down for weeks!

Same for us. We started prepping in feb and have been in lockdown since due to pre-ex conditions. Fiancée still has us wiping down groceries and packages delivered , although we’re both aware no transmission via that route. More ease of mind now
