We need a national stay at home order. Needed it weeks ago. It remains the most powerful tool we have at this moment to reduce the spread of #covid19. The reluctance to call for such a policy represents a critical failure of federal leadership that will cost lives. (1/x)
Is it necessary for all states to have such an aggressive policy? Yes. Because we are still struggling to test, we have no idea what the real case count is but it’s likely many multiples higher than the recorded numbers and the virus is in far more places than we think. (2/x)
The bottom line is this: when it comes to public health response SPEED = LIVES SAVED. We had a slow start in responding to #covid19 and we are trying to catch up. But we need to move faster. Every day matters. (3/x END)
