1/ Q: What’s brought you hope this week?
A: Food trucks!
@PittsburghMag’s recent article showcases food truck owners working hard to re-open *safely.* It’s a joy to see the amazing work ethic and bright minds of these small business owners innovating evidence-based ways forward!
2/ What’s in their secret sauce? (Please pardon the pun).
Three key themes: metrics (following gating criteria), risk-prevention methods, and building trust. More on each below
3/
(1) METRICS: The food truck owners are paying close attention to the “gating criteria” set forth by their local #publichealth authorities, following all associated guidance and respecting phased implementation approaches.
4/
(2) METHODS: They’ve adopted (and created!) best practices for minimizing #risk, again following the relevant guidance of regulatory and professional standard-setting bodies.
5/
(3) SOCIAL CONTRACT: Together with their loyal clientele, they are building on #trust to protect each other – employees, patrons, and community members alike.
6/ This @USATODAY article: usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
seeks to answer the burning question of the day: How can we #opensafely?
A group of bipartisan healthcare leaders laid out helpful related guidance -- the policy equivalent of the ingenuity and 💓 of these food trucks’ efforts.
7/ Again, key themes involve respecting METRICS of community-level #disease burden and health care capacity, implementing safety standards and other infection-control METHODS, and protecting the vulnerable to strengthen the SOCIAL CONTRACT.
