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

It's true, though, that your best chance to catch the virus from a shark during a shark attack is in or near shark-inhabited waters.

One more thing on this topic before we move on. Do you know what species of shark most closely resembles a coronavirus? The Bramble shark, and it's no contest.
