Trump Visa Rules Seen as Way to Pressure Colleges on Reopening
International students will be required to take at least one in-person class to keep their visas, at a time when many universities are prioritizing online instruction.
Gavin Yamey
Trump to U.S. universities: you MUST increase the risk of causing suffering & death on and off campus by having in-person teaching. You MUST promote suffering & deaths or else international students lose their visas. nytimes.com/2020/07/07/us/… via @NYTimes

Really disappointing to see Dr Birx go full-on MAGA. Federal government dithered for 6 weeks after @WHO told all nations to get ready, to set up test & trace, to prepare for isolation & quarantine. Trump gave the virus a free pass to spread unchecked.

Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale
Its decision to carry on in the face of the pandemic has yielded a surge of deaths without sparing its economy from damage — a red flag as the United States and Britain move to lift lockdowns.
Gavin Yamey
"Sweden’s grim result — more death, and nearly equal economic damage — suggests that the supposed choice between lives and paychecks is a false one: A failure to impose social distancing can cost lives and jobs at the same time."

'Trump is in a dreamland': what the US should do now on Covid-19
With hospitals filling and PPE running low, it’s like April all over again. Here’s what Americans – and their leaders – must do
Gavin Yamey
"It’s crystal clear that Covid-19 won’t “just disappear”, as President Trump said this week – and the pandemic certainly won’t end if wishful thinking continues to be our federal response plan."

Dear @LtGovDanForest: your irresponsible rejection of scientific evidence could cost the lives of North Carolinians. When you said at a July 4 rally, with little social distancing & few masks, that "masks do not work with viruses," it was harmful garbage.

GOOD! @Harvard is taking the right steps to avert suffering & death. Harvard President Lawrence Bacow “acknowledged that ‘there is an intrinsic incompatibility’ between the university's tradition of in-person learning and the need for social distancing.”
