      Yes, a new surge is upon us. No, it will not be the same as before. Yes, the good news is still abundant but the challenge is real. My new piece on our race between the vaccines and the variants, and what we need to do urgently, to head it off. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/03/fourth-surge-variant-vaccine/618463/ …pic.twitter.com/HHxGp8tIhl

      Also: we need less worrying about vaccine efficacy against the variants, more about... vaccinating everyone as soon as possible. Herd immunity was already widely misunderstood, but we're underestimating how its politics have been complicated by, well, how good our vaccines are.

      We need to change our strategies and meet the variant surges with vaccination surges, and aggressively address vaccine equities. Many places like Michigan, where hospitalizations are increasing, are also greatly lagging in vaccinating black people. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/03/fourth-surge-variant-vaccine/618463/ …pic.twitter.com/3hYS99Lbr0

      Honestly, in the US, we do have everything we need to meet likely our last big pandemic challenge. Every other piece of news we have is good, including the latest from the CDC on transmission (in the piece). But we do need to act now, and also globally where things are worse.

      Replying to @zeynep

      I did read the piece? The optimists have spent weeks scolding public health officials when they stating they’re still worried or saying that we need to loosen restrictions b/c cases were sure to keep declining. But the decline has stopped and deaths are at 1,000 people a day

      Some restrictions deserve loosening, others not so much. I don't like the binary optimist/pessimist framing. There is a lot of good news but there is neither a need to scold warranted caution that's correctly targeted, nor to panic over... say people in parks or outdoors.

          Do you think there was too much near-term optimism like 3-6 weeks ago during that period of sustained case decline? Not talking about where we might be in July so much as what optimistic commentators said April might look like?
