Thanks you for working in healthcare and thank you for your prudent input. You seem to be be able to understand the nexus between science and public policy. It's a delicate balancing act. Have you ever considered running for local office of any sort? |
This forum is lousy with LWNJs. The fact is, Operation Lightspeed was excellent, efficient, and well managed, no matter how much you hate trump. |
Everyone, the owner of Twitter has entered the chat... |
What does the acronym LWNJs stand for? It seems you and other posters know, but I have no idea. |
Not having a pandemic team early to help contain the original outbreak in China. (may have failed anyway)
Once that was out, not following the pandemic playbook that existed and said not to close schools etc. unless conditions were worse than they were. (I think closing in spring 2020 when things were unclear is easily forgivable, but in fall 2020, schools should have been open everywhere.) The confusing communications regarding masking. They didn't want to say "N95s will help" because there was a shortage. Confusing communications about what the "lockdowns" (which were never serious lockdowns) were for. Was it to avoid overwhelming hospitals, or was it to eliminate COVID? In retrospect it was the latter, but the communication was unclear. The oversell on the vaccines eventually backfired. They were game changers, but COVID didn't vanish. Having politicians do so much talking about the pandemic. (The pandemic playbook emphasized politicians doing the communication to limit politicization of it.) The very strict policies for childcare and the lack of acknowledgment that society counts on functioning childcare and schools in order for people to work. Lack of investment in improving indoor air quality in public spaces. Extreme politicization on both sides (but especially the right IMO), but this is beyond COVID What did we do right? I loved the community spirit on the hyper local level. The vaccines were out on an astounding timeline, huge advancements in mRNA tech in a short amount of time. |

Left Wing NutJob. I believe it was coined after RWNJ (Right Wing NutJob). |
Link the district. You’re lying. |
It's also reasonable to believe that if they are willing to illegally cross the border, they aren't going to self quarantine for two weeks after crossing. |
You are insufferable. 1. Are those who are elderly, obese, or have other co-morbities less valuable? 2. Schools are always super-spreaders of viruses, so keeping them closed until we had vaccines was the right move. 3. Why are masked funerals a problem? I attended several funerals, including two of people who died from Covid complications (and who were, since you seem to think they are more worthy, fairly young, healthy individuals), masked. No one at any of the funerals was complaining about being masked. 4. Why do you care if some people are still masked to this day? You seem to have strong feelings, evident through your use of an exclamation point, about strangers' choice to mask or not to go out to eat. How does that impact you? |
We get it. You very much support Covid restrictions and think it was all worthwhile. |
Then it’s reasonable to not require vaccination for any reason. |
Exactly. Requiring vaccination for jobs or entry was unscientific and sub-human behavior. |
