      Remarkable. No public health intervention is easily introduced or adopted. But masks ended up being more polarizing than I would have ever guessed.https://twitter.com/j_g_allen/status/1322489781356498946 …

      Months of being told they don't work or might even be harmful by public health institutions and a good chunk of the expert class+ideologues and virus-deniers jumping on the bandwagon+political polarization.😢

          The psychological impact of masks has been greatly underestimated. And the polarization has a lot to do with the sanctimony on the left. Had the message been "masks don't hurt, might help, wear one inside," this all might have gone down differently.

          Totally--i will always believe that empowering and empathetic messages combined with implementation considerations was critical here. Or...we could just tell people to use them, shame them, fine them, and eventually jail them. So here we are. By our own doing.

          The tragedy of masks, is how all masks got grouped together - N95 + Surgical + cloth masks - muddling attempts of adoption by general population despite all of the evidence. Simple cloth masks save lives.

        1. Quality N95/P100 masks for everyone‏ @N95For 31 Oct 2020
          Replying to @zeynep @AbraarKaran

          Let’s start with what different people need for their Covid ‘kit’ in differing situations.Then see what we need, what we have, and what have to create or obtain, and what we may need in the future. Too much work? If we had already put the work in, we wouldn’t need to do it now

          /2 nyc is proud of it’s low + rate, but only 10% offices staffed. (The first six floors of buildings?). Don’t want panic? Work the problem. Otherwise we are implementing the herd immunity non-solution and sharpening our fingers for blame game

          /3 Main issues-enclosed spaces, how to communicate through masks, ?everything about superspreaders? 100,000 cases per day for 300,000,000 is 300 more days of Covid, then on to the next one. We all need kits going forward. Don’t like that, move to Idaho.
