These conversations were about the variances in professions and how we approach the term, but more importantly - what it means for the public, for HCWs, etc. This is bc we’ve spent decades working on public recs/comms, and know the importance of scicomm (2/3)

Don't underestimate the role of political pressure among public health leaders, many of whom are political appointees. For example, almost all public health medical officers would favor measures like a mask mandate and closing bars, but are not empowered to make those calls

The wave of resignations and burn out we've seen aren't just from threats or intimidation, it's the incredibly frustrating inability to implement clear and straightforward non pharmaceutical interventions

I live in CT & I listen to Cuomo & Lamont daily updates. Both emphasize mask wearing & often make it sound like masks alone are enough. I’ve told teacher friends to add air purifiers to class rooms & they all say that’s not in guidance but lots of cleaning of surfaces is.

School districts based their guidance on state guidance - not sure those have been updated since issued.

Also, who are the “right scientists”? I think there’s a lot of room for improvement from health agencies and this has been a testament to the need for transparency and scicomm, so I’m hopeful we’ll collectively improve.

What I think most people meanb when criticizing the messaging coming from the medical/public health community has to do with masking (specifically the need for N95s) and not focusing enough on ventilation. They point to East Asia as the prime example of effective communication
