So the White House is not doing backward contact tracing—as they should—to figure out how the cluster started? They’ll miss cases.https://twitter.com/joshmich/status/1313297693054316546 …

Anyone proposing Sweden as a contrarian example has *no idea* what they're talking about. Sweden had a more strict & early indoor gathering limit than most of Europe, never lifted it when others did & everyone 16+ is in virtual school. Japan!

Canada allows indoor spin class with lower capacity, six-foot radius around bikes and sanitation. So panting crowd indoors but, hey, on clean bikes! Go ahead, require throwing salt over one's shoulder and hang a

Ah, even better. You don't have to wear your mask in gyms in Canada when it *actually* counts the most. Brilliant. Look, folks, I'll say it straight out. United States and most of Europe have lost sight of the science of this pandemic. Inexcusable.https://twitter.com/benjamintdube/status/1316027523432542208 …

Yep. I have a CO2/VOC monitor I've been using to see how things are. Places are *drowning* in bleach etc. The people doing the cleaning—low-paid women—are breathing in enormous amounts of harmful stuff unnecessarily, and then we are (I measure it).https://twitter.com/akm5376/status/1316027790160928771 …

Movie theaters (silent patrons wearing masks) are almost certainly much safer than spin classes indoors with unmasked panting exercisers, even with the "sanitation" and "reduced capacity" and "six feet between bikes" blah blah nonsense.https://twitter.com/BAmontanada/status/1316029238001037315 …
