Randomized trials are amazing and necessary for many things, but what gets implemented without them (despite no evidence) and what doesn't (despite tons of other kinds of strong evidence) is often.. a function of what the authorities feel comfortable with.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1366385652636475394 …

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
