1/Here is my take. I was panicked back in March when COVID hit because I did not understand the transmission route and how to reduce my risk of getting this disease. Now I do understand.

2/I am sending my kids back to hybrid school 2 days a week because I live in Colorado and we have a sane Governor who declared a state-wide mask mandate. If you are visiting my state you better be here with a mask and you better wear it - or go home. @GovofCO

3/However - I also fully expect despite all my precautions that I will get COVID. And a major reason is because our federal government and specifically the leader of our country has beyond messed this up. It is horrifying and embarrasing.

4/I am extremely grateful to the medical community for working so hard to sort out how to treat people with COVID and to keep them from dying at such high rates.

5/Also grateful to the many out there who have faith in science and who listen to those of us with expertise in public health, indoor environmental quality & airborne infectious disease control. You are helping to stop the spread of the disease, keeping yourself and others safe.
