QUESTION—Folks, don’t get me wrong, we epidemiologists revere the CDC. but question—do folks feel their basic style of messaging is really that effective to advocating public action? People who do listen to CDC on #COVID19 already heard them. But should they do more? If so, what?

2) I think the CDC has gotten better and become more independent in the last month. And CDC’s main role is not focused on social media. Lots of policy work and field work in their main HQ. But on social media, do you think they can do more? Better videos? More engaging content?
3) Like, I get that @CDCgov doesn’t specialize in social media, and they have to toe the professional communication line. But a few more engaging videos and animations like this one from Ohio couldn’t hurt.
4) If you argue that they should stick with hard policy guidance only, then at least informative videos like this one by @NHKWORLD_News on how to ventilate rooms.
