2020 may well be the end of the American century.

Here's the reason to say all this now. Maybe, just maybe, we will get lucky because of some aspect of the virus. There are actual glimmers of hope. But hope is not a plan. Americans should plan for one more year of this with their family or community. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1278322483482025984

It's July of 2020 and Americans are still not being informed correctly about what's actually high-risk. Just linking here to one of my many exasperated threads over many months. No and no, beaches aren't the key issue. Crowded indoors are. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1276587493316595712

If you want so see a *really* exasperated thread, here's one that starts with my March NYT op-ed on masks--why telling people not to wear them was going to end up backfiring and hurting us all when the evidence was finally conceded that we needed masks. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1239903421970501640

Fauci: "We have to admit it, that that mixed message in the beginning, even though it was well meant to allow masks to be available for health workers, that was detrimental in getting the message across." Should have just said, sorry, there's a shortage. https://twitter.com/NPRHealth/status/1278476238189780997
