Are any of these smug, condescending people looking at the statistics? Most victims are the elderly or "frontline essential workers"—poor people, people of color—and masks are great but aren't a magic wand against all risk, including in-home transmission.https://twitter.com/joe_cressy/status/1347298438422147072 …

Same goes for the "just stay at home" crowd. Yes *of course* avoid being indoors with others if possible, but if one is "just staying at home" while someone *else* is taking all the risk to make society work and drop food at your door, the least one can do is not be so smug.

That is mostly what happened, and it's incredible that it's happened so fast. I'm now afraid we will learn nothing from all this. I'm furious on all our behalf, little good it will do.https://twitter.com/LinchZhang/status/1348703610222219264 …

This is exactly what's happening. The least, least we can do is not join the condescending chorus.https://twitter.com/warybear/status/1348706241061806083 …

Remember this by
@MackayIM? Much of this is not equally possible for everyone BECAUSE THEY CAN'T ZOOM TO WORK like, I suspect, much of the the condescending chorus and the people in power who have failed us. A glimpse at the statistics of actual victims makes this so clear.pic.twitter.com/93BpFpjKNm

I guess I’m missing the nuance here - how is this not accurate? We are still where we are and things have gotten worse because people refuse to take basic public health remedies seriously.

Blaming people over policy, for one thing.

Except the profanity, is it not somewhat true?

I'm moderately impressed by the general take that kinda coalesced among the intelligentsia of "(Western) governments and experts did everything right but the proles just won't listen and this is why things are as bad as they are." Seems to be somewhat distant from reality.

It'd be excusable if 2020 was unique historically and "good gov't needed to keep ppl in check, otherwise mass riots+panic will always happen" was the historical norm. But if anything gov'ts consistently underestimate ppl's resilience and overestimate hate https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4422154/ …pic.twitter.com/FQ10GEaxro
