    Someone reminded me of this. I wrote this mid-March 2020, saying this won't be a short-term thing. It just wasn't what we were being told. (I know amnesia has set in on this, but it wasn't just Trump downplaying it). But a reminder now: all pandemics end, and this one will, too.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1239665287726850051 …

    This may be hard to hear but let me say it while things are still early. Maybe we'll get lucky with seasonality, immunity and antivirals. But a year or more of hardship is not implausible. "Flatten the curve" is about the immediate crisis. A difficult year will still be ahead.

        The questions on the table are how to minimize the suffering now, what we learn from this and how to manage the next phase.

        How do we square this confidence ("all pandemics end") with what we're told about the less we vaccinate, the more, quite possibly worse variants emerge? Obv. there's a scientific explanation but again - messaging.

        What’s irksome is people thinking that the “flatten the curve” NPIs should continue as infinitum

        You have been one of the calm & sane voices throughout. I'm very interested in your take on off ramps for policies like masking 2 year olds (+ young kids in general). I hope you'll write about this in the near future!!
