One year ago today. I’m not blaming him—it is true, that was the overwhelming message. We can and should stop being behind transitions and start acting/adjusting ahead of or with them. Matters for the endgame, too.https://twitter.com/RichardEngel/status/1232770729290035202 …

Such widespread misinformation—not distinguishing the much safer outdoors from the highest risk environments: poorly-ventilated indoors and explaining why—has a great cost because if people don't know how to keep themselves safer, they cannot keep themselves safer. Tragic.

Sometimes people say why are you beating the outdoors drum? Doesn't everyone know? I wish. I mean this happened just yesterday. I go on any broadcast medium to say outdoors *is* safer, I get flooded by people who say "how dare you" and who have no idea.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1366520460138213380 …

Yes. Photograph choice matters. Beaches, parks, the photogenic outdoor portion of an event that was part of a multi-day process with many unmasked *indoors* meetings and a reception... This isn't how we inform people.https://twitter.com/70sBachchan/status/1366743396925272065 …

So the below happened *after* we already saw exponential growth outside of China—Italy, South Korea, Iran.. Exponential growth gets harder & harder to curb, so those weeks mattered. Transitions are crucial: by the time everything is obvious, it's too late.https://twitter.com/YearCovid/status/1366756679837097985 …

It's too early to open up everything and stop wearing masks in public—again especially indoors. Why risk so many people when we are so so close? On the other hand, yeah, *do* go outdoors and provide better safety for the workers who can't just "stay home".https://twitter.com/zachdespart/status/1366840400875556871 …

Vaccines ARE great, but unvaccinated people aren't any more protected then yesterday because we just don't have enough community coverage—yet. But we are moving there so fast. This one-size-fits-all, too-early, too reckless rush to "open" up is senseless.

Look, we may be avoiding a fourth "surge" because of increasing pace of vaccinations, but *some* unvaccinated people will get infected if indoor restrictions are completely lifted and masks no longer worn indoors. The vaccine supply is about to go way way up. Just.. no.pic.twitter.com/CsSNDJ23Dz

Folks who are fully vaccinated: guidance on how they are safer and what they can do with other vaccinated folk. Outdoors? Please, go do more outdoors. Indoor/public stuff? Be more strict until broader vaccination coverage which is really around the corner.https://twitter.com/deshpn/status/1366863126113570817 …

This will never end. We can have 3000 million more epidemiological studies but they’ll still be shaming people for the what are probably the safest possible activities in a pandemic due to a respiratory pathogen. ht

After a full, difficult year, people find possibly the safest possible way to socialize: outdoors in a big park. Reporter: wait, I can see it.https://twitter.com/Travisdhanraj/status/1375893648827629574 …

Guess I'll be updating this thread for the next decade. LA opening restaurants etc., so let's put a picture of a vast beach that looks just about the safest place. Worse, this is LA, can't even make up some story about travel to the beach causing the risk.https://twitter.com/jamesbont/status/1377400019062452225?s=20 …

Belgian police breaking up young people hanging out at... a park. A big, vast park. We’re more than a year in. We know where transmission primarily occurs and how. (Young ones are being encouraged to hang out indoors, I guess, where they won’t risk being trampled by horses.)https://twitter.com/RichardHanania/status/1378455984549425153 …

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm being personally-trolled here, as an experiment. This is by CNN, bringing you the important news about the pandemic with visuals that highlight the acute problem. h/t

For those wondering how incorrect guidelines still block better pandemic mitigations: Despite Dr. Wen's heroic attempt here to divert, the incorrect description (basically copied from guidelines) helps drive the beach panic. If that were true, yeah indoor/outdoor would be same.pic.twitter.com/NAp4dVtgIV
