1/From work @sri_srikrishna @diegochowell @g_chowell @AbraarKaran @beier_dbeier & I did several wks ago, we realized that COVID may be stopped w/⬆️but imperfect #TestTraceIsolate IF, combined w/⬆️masks+hygiene+distancing, the COMBINED effect could get R<1

2/ It's great to see a #COVIDconsensus coalescing around this COMBINED approach of #TestTraceIsolate + 'protections'
@Atul_Gawande talks about this same combination of masks+hygiene+distancing+screening as a "drug cocktail" @NewYorker yesterday

3/ @MartyMakary makes similar points with added emphasis on benefits of outdoors & need to focus on high-risk groups in @nytimes today

4/ @mattyglesias provides a similar consolidation of strategies @voxdotcom (while also mentioning outdoors, vaccines)

6/ As @ashishkjha @JeremyKonyndyk @paulmromer @rajshah @DrTomFrieden @JoiaMukherjee @PIH & many others are already doing, let's continue to push the accelerated scaling of #TestTraceIsolate
7/ In addition, let's optimize 'protections' aka masks+hygiene+distancing (aka whatever you want to call it)
Lots of low-hanging opportunities with - at minimum - important & - at maximum - game-changing impact esp when it comes to masks/face protection
