Another way of looking at this: only the working class person who is unlikely to have employer-provided insurance is wearing a mask. https://t.co/rOaDnGbRmS

Full disclosure I’m not a waveologist but it sure looks like we’re still cresting on the 1st one: pic.twitter.com/VQSsvx9qO9

Nationally there’s no “second wave.” There’s one long wave. We’ve been in a plateau of around 20,000 cases and 1,000 deaths a day, largely among minority and vulnerable populations. Reopening will cause spikes, but calling them a second wave denies the reality of what’s going on. pic.twitter.com/ivutKKYgF9

Important results: Remember the 2 MO hairstylists who saw 140 clients over 8 days while infected with COVID but everyone had worn masks? Contact tracers found ZERO secondary infections. More evidence that masks work. https://t.co/yAgi1MeATk

As Covid-19 cases soar in states such as Arizona, Texas and Oregon, governors are again facing wrenching choices about how to balance the economy with public health

Florida fired data scientist, Rebekah Jones, for refusing to manipulate the COVID-19 numbers.
So she sourced the underlying data herself and built her own free dashboard.
Surprise, surprise: Florida is underreporting the test rate to boost reopening.

??? Amid the pandemic, at least 27 state and local public health leaders have resigned, retired or been fired across 13 states, due in part to a mix of backlash and stressful, nonstop working conditions.

2. So while @CDCgov released "suggestions" — formerly guidance — about how reduce #Covid19 spread which includes wearing cloth face coverings in public, it would not comment on the advisability of the president's plans to resume rallies or the GOP's plans for a large convention.

As a global public health expert, I don’t accept that US & UK poor responses were due to capacity. Poorer countries did much better. It’s down to absent leadership, incompetence & a deliberate decision to treat COVID-19 like flu for weeks in Feb & March & just ‘let it go’.
