Winter Is Coming: Time for a Mask Mandate
A requirement to cover your face in public could be more of a cultural norm than a political statement.
Steve Morrison
@ScottGottliebMD
Need to shift masks from a divisive political act to a social norm, a civic act. Common sense. Protect yourself and others.
No shoes, no service.
Clean up after your dog.
Buckle up.
Fence-sitting Governors -you listening?

Let us get back to these elements.

"We are not going to control the pandemic." White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows
Cynical, defeatist: it has come to this brutal point.
This quote will make it into the historical accounts of this epoch catastrophe,

Will Trump’s “Law and Order” Message Work in Wisconsin?
The suburban counties outside of Milwaukee have been reliable Republican strongholds, but the region’s politics have become more complicated, and less predictable, under Trump.
Steve Morrison
Seems the answer is likely "no."

Covid-19 Live Updates: Harrowing New Surge Rages Across America’s Heartland
The U.S. set a single-day record of 82,154 new cases on Friday, less than two weeks before Election Day. Two vaccine trials resumed after pausing for safety concerns.
Steve Morrison
85,000 cases in a day, White House Task Force an empty inert shell. #DrFauci’s call for national mask mandate a welcome step, but tragically late. Gonna take far more than that to fix this runaway national disaster.

Why Can’t We See All of the Government’s Virus Data?
Since March, federal agencies have been collecting a trove of information. But they refuse to release most of it.

Chris Murray @IHME_UW goes public with long-standing frustrations re US Govt suppression of data. The solution may lie in legislative action by the next Congress.

This Winter, Pay Bars to Close
To stop the coronavirus, we have to stop super-spreader events.
Steve Morrison
@RosenthalHealth It’s not just bars that are a central problem in creating “heterogenous” explosive outbreaks. It is bar owners, banded together fiercely opposing reasonable temporary controls. Witness the tavern league in Wisconsin.

To Test Virus Vaccines, U.K. Study Will Intentionally Infect Volunteers
The hotly contested strategy of deliberate exposure, known as a human challenge trial, could speed up the process of identifying effective coronavirus vaccines.
Steve Morrison
Three thoughts.
High risk, potentially high gain. Looks reckless.
Most parents of a 23 year old, myself included, wd be v uncomfortable if that daughter or son proposed to volunteer.
Not as reckless as libertarian herd immunity faux scientists.

Herd Immunity? Or ‘Mass Murder’?
A proposal to let people with low risk of infection live without constraint could lead to a million or more preventable deaths.
Steve Morrison
#JohnBarry #HerdImmunity libertarians build arguments on false hopes, bad science, set stage for up to one million deaths.

Amid Covid-19 pandemic, U.S. has seen 300,000 ‘excess deaths'
CDC researchers found that nearly 300,000 more people in the U.S. died so far this year than the average number who died in recent years.

Trump Is Giving Up
Against both the coronavirus and Joe Biden, the president’s strategy increasingly accepts defeat.

@DouthatNYT Trump heading to defeat, mishandled stimulus bill and resurgent pandemic. Has incoherent message/purpose. Plus Americans have simply had enough.

We cannot rely on magical thinking: Herd immunity is not a plan - STAT
Trying to achieve herd immunity without a vaccine by building immunity through natural infection would add thousands of preventable deaths.
Steve Morrison
A faux science libertarian challenge to the Covid-19 crisis is real. Roger Atlas and his fellow dissident libertarians are a true threat. Must take them much more seriously.
