First (probably of many) reports looking especially at the initial WHO response to the pandemic, and what went wrong there. Good points, including need for more clout, independence, and resources. I look forward to the investigation that looks at guidelines/recs (it will happen).https://twitter.com/kakape/status/1392428332873027587 …

Here, we need one for the CDC and at the state level as well, trying to understand both how the previous administration hampered efforts and also what wasn't working well (yes, those are intertwined, but both exist).

Here's a paper from Science modeling the early spread. Most introductions were dead-ends. Earlier acceptance of the key trifecta—indoor superspreading as choke-point, transmission without symptoms, and airborne spread—could have given us a different path.https://science.sciencemag.org/content/370/6516/564.long …

(Also remember: when facing exponential growth, early action is worth so much more, and delay is very, very costly. There are things that will work early on in an epidemic that simply cannot keep up even just a few weeks later. I expect many papers will explore all that).

It's going to have to be years from now for it to be able to be a thoughtful apolitical investigation and it's going to have to cover more than this, like how we got outdoor mask mandates, mandates for 2 year olds, etc. and kept them for more than a year.

Of all the things to get angry about with the handling of this pandemic, the fury directed at outdoor mask mandates has been one of the strangest. Sure, likely not much bang for buck, but cf other missteps, not very significant. Let's try not feed into mask politicisation.

One can blame and punish or learn and improve. I agree we need to get better as a society in doing no-blame post-Mortem analysis of most aspects of our COVID response.

An excellent article comparing an analysis of the pandemic to an NTSB investigation

Yeah-but-no-but, domestically, I have a visceral need for some specific PH heads to roll... (We had some folks who, it seems, failed upward, after SARS...)
