      People refuse to accept the reality of exponential growth because it's an extremely inconvenient truth that delaying hard decisions makes things worse.

      Vaccines, globally and equitably, including boosters. Slow spread of Omicron, especially till there’s more clarity through the usual: test, find outbreaks, ventilation/better masks etc. Update vaccines, if necessary along with production capacity. Antivirals but to outbreaks…https://twitter.com/mattketai/status/1466776737086324741 …

          I don’t know who needs to hear this. I’m tired of people saying “exponential growth has started” Two graphs with same data. Left hand arithmetic plot. Right hand logarithmic plot. Exponential growth (linear on semilog) occurs before you see it on arithmetic scale. pic.twitter.com/WXP7uHr2bl

          That's the thing. Early action staves off the need for later harsher action and minimizes suffering. But I understand people are tired. But here we are, and we have to get through the winter—it's still possible Omicron isn't worse, but Delta is still here.https://twitter.com/astannard6/status/1466788466629382146 …

          It was an utter failure of PH to expect the masses to accept harsh NPIs for over 2 years. That’s on them, not us. Should have throttled NPIs so PH would still have goodwill when it was actually needed.

          Something that needs looking into....what is production capacity for anti-virals?

          100%…but tbh I actually just wanted to know if I can go see West Side Story in person at a movie theater. It has Oscar buzz.
