      zeynep tufekci Retweeted GET VACCINATED! (((Jennifer Mendelsohn)))

      Perfect except most of the victims of this disease in the US are either the elderly, who are very susceptible to severe outcomes, or poor people and minorities who have to work to survive and to make society run and who live in more in crowded houses. Real denialism is marginal.https://twitter.com/CleverTitleTK/status/1354800905917517824 …

      There’s such a big mismatch on what gets highlighted on social media and traditional media for shaming fodder, and thus many people think is widespread, and reality—especially the people actually suffering and dying in large numbers.

      While we keep chanting "just stay home" on Twitter, the people who cannot—the people who make it possible for everyone else to stay home by making things work—are getting infected at highest rates. The occasional annoying person isn't driving the epidemic.https://twitter.com/AbigailWozniak/status/1357851648291348480 …

      Look at this nonsense tweet and all the scolding replies *as if* a few people chilling OUTDOORS without masks is driving the pandemic. Florida doesn't even have the worst death rates, but the Hispanic/"frontline" population in Los Angeles, CA is decimated.https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1358215213930205184 …

      We do have data on occupation, too, and people might learn about it if media/social media folks could take a moment from shaming safe behavior outdoors and report on it more. Dying most: cooks, warehouse, agricultural and construction workers. Low wage.https://twitter.com/carolineistanbu/status/1358421013554487296 …

      Fine. I wouldn't dine indoors either. However, while we righteously order takeout, linecooks are dying at the highest rate of any occupation. The servers have little choice but to work. Where is the attention to how to assure their safety?https://twitter.com/EngineerMiddle/status/1358424115489763334 …

      With respect to all of the research and great posts you've done, the problem isn't the occasional annoying person - it's crowds of annoying people: indoor restaurants in some states are packed full. I feel for the servers at those places.

      Many are vaccine hesitant not because of denialism but because they don't trust our medical institutions. They're not all Jenny McCarthy; rather, they live in a country where black infants die twice the rate of white ones—unless cared for by black doctors. https://twitter.com/Avivz78/status/1358316011397783554 …pic.twitter.com/gXQGCk2cJs

      Yeah. Ironically. Only a single child from the first class on the Titanic sadly died while two-thirds of children in the lowest class perished. We're a year in, and stuck in the same counterproductive pattern.https://twitter.com/SkLumos/status/1358429307765460995 …

          Anyway, end with sensible CDC guidelines. Don't do what @reuters does and scold people for doing what the CDC (yeay!) correctly advises people to do: avoid gathering indoors with people not in your household, and if you will, take steps to lessen risk.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1357814190061322244 …

          This is excellent! Useful guideline! Different levels of advice. Harm reduction philosophy. Sensible prioritization based on transmission dynamics. (Meet outdoors. If indoors, open a window. Don't have loud music so folks don't have to shout. etc.) Nice to see such things happen. https://twitter.com/linseymarr/status/1357790564738023427 …

          Yeah, almost always the case with the outdoor scolding pictures on media—warped perspective/lenses. Also it's hard for strangers to be too close to each others outdoors because of personal space norms in this country. https://twitter.com/EL_Apostrophe/status/1358438388463005697 …

          Just on the Titanic analogy: #IHopeSomeoneHereHasBeatenMeToItBut I now assume the reason for those "Nobody Died On The Titanic" news headline(s) one reads about every now & then is that they were looking at the first class passenger list...😬
