    Thank you. I just want to add that this wasn’t a big secret, even at the end of February. It was happening in front of our eyes. The problem wasn’t lack of indications but groupthink and ... consensus silence.https://twitter.com/shohinisengupta/status/1338708227962245121 …

    Just went back to this tweet storm and marvelled once again at how prescient this was, how prescient Tufecki generally is. Tufecki's newsletters have been the best thing these past few months. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1233108306513690625 …

        Sounds about right. We could do with that phraseology as well!

        Worst part is that this was literally part of the playbooks that were written around the subject. But as soon as a real pandemic hit: playbook just went right through the window.....

        It's astounding how the phrase "most people will be fine from corona virus but (then listing the other real problems)" has been entirely absent from every single mainstream media report even though it is objectively true. Zero context provided.

        As a 50 YO healthy person who contracted COVID last month, I had much more than mild symptoms. 4-5 days of an acute terrible flu, and now in week 4 of lingering symptoms (cough, light-headedness, smell/taste, shortness of breath). I’m afraid people like me get lost in narratives

        This has been so maddening because it has been a failure of organization, administration, strategic thinking and pragmatism. We gave up because it was too hard to...get surgical masks to everyone? Improve ventilation? Support isolation and quarantine? Approve rapid antigen tests?

        We didn’t give up because the science was hard. We gave up because we lacked humility to follow a proven playbook and leadership to mobilize behind a WWII type effort to make it happen. And then the poisonous politics of an election year.
