“On Thursday, @CDCgov recommended those living in communities w/ high levels of infection wear face #masks indoors in public settings, even though the federal mask mandate is no longer in effect after it was overturned by a federal judge.”

“Research shows that #masks, if used correctly, can be a valuable tool for reducing the spread of the virus. But the CDC’s #mask recommendation for people living in areas w/ high risks of Covid-19 this week was met with mixed responses online…”

“…Some have criticized the agency’s inconsistency in its #masking policy, while others tried to paint the CDC’s motives as political, pointing to the upcoming midterm elections…”

@mtosterholm…says a combination of confusing guidelines from pub. officials & a lack of careful reporting by the media have led to the politicization of pub. health measures…
‘this has become… a philosophical & political issue, not a science issue.’”

“There are many parallels between the U.S. response to COVID-19 and its response to the gun violence epidemic, says Sonali Rajan, a prof. at Columbia Univ. who researches school violence.

‘We have long normalized mass death in this country…’ she says,”

“‘There’s been almost a sustained narrative created by some that tells people that these things are inevitable,’ says @meganranney,… who did gun violence research before COVID-19 hit. “‘It divides us when people think that there’s nothing they can do.’”
