1/ This #4ofjuly, have fun, enjoy your family/friends, but please #BeSafe. Express your politics at the ballot box and in your speech. But not wearing masks and flaunting social distancing measures? That makes you a danger to yourself and others, including those you love. #COVID

2/ Cults are dangerous. Leaders who lie are dangerous. Please protect yourself, your family & your community. If you wait to see this with your own eyes, it'll be too late. The US is careening into a long-term nationwide disaster: the loss of lives & damage to the economy. #COVID

3/ If you've had unprotected, high-risk sex, get STD/HIV testing. Many don't have symptoms. ~1/3 of those infected w/ #coronavirus don't have symptoms, but can infect others. If you engage in unsafe pandemic behavior (not wearing masks or social distancing), get #COVID tested.

4/ We're still really bad at predicting who'll get sick with #coronavirus #COVID. Many who are infected will be just fine. But the way the US is heading, many are going to get very sick, and many will die. This is a preventable tragedy.

5/ This #4ofjuly, let's celebrate American strength in the face of crisis. Let's show that we're stronger than the virus, that we can unite against the #coronavirus, that we can defeat #COVID. //
