#Enough doesn’t begin to describe it. And thoughts and prayers are meaningless without action. Those in positions of power can make meaningful change to reduce gun violence. Those who are not willing to protect our kids should get out of the way of those who are.
Gun violence is a public health crisis in America. There are experts who know what we can do to deal with this crisis. Consult them and implement.

1. So much hostility and confusion from people who saw me (on a Zoom) wearing a mask in my office this week! The question is: Am I crazy, am I virtue signaling, am I fear mongering, or is there some rationale to wear a mask in a private office? Let’s discuss! 🧵
2. Let’s start with the basics. Here’s a screenshot an angry critic took and shared. You can see I am wearing an N95. I work at a mask-optional university, so no one is making me do it. You can also see I need to clean up my office, but that’s a separate topic.
3. I like to keep my door open whenever possible, so students or faculty can pop in. My office is also right outside of the bathrooms, which helps to ensure that I see a lot of people during the day. Part of having a good in-person university experience.

1. Yesterday’s @MassGovernor quote reacting to the “high” COVID designation of many MA counties by CDC isn’t just “spin” - it combines the obviously false, the vaguely misleading, the correct, and the correct but myopic. Let’s parse it! 🧵
2. First, background - every week on Thurs, @CDCgov updates its “Community Levels” designation by county. The methods, data, and designations are publicly available.

covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
3. As you can see below, you are assigned to “high” only if you have a hospitalization rate above a defined threshold.

So the only way MA could be among the lowest in the nation in COVID hospitalizations is if the rest of the country is also “high”.

1. When we officially record the millionth death from COVID in the US in the coming days, it should lead to collective introspection about our failures as a country and an articulation of lessons learned for future pandemic control. But it won’t.
2. Don’t get me wrong. There will be some great commentaries and excellent ideas put forward. But I used the word “collective” deliberately. I fear that many have learned one primary lesson from the pandemic - look away.
3. If someone is reasonably protected as an individual and ignores what happens to others, it’s easy to pretend there is no pandemic. It’s even easier if those at risk don’t live near you or run in your social circles. That’s a consequence of an individual-focused response.

1. When I took logic in high school, my favorite logical fallacy (yes, I had one - don't judge) was "argument of the beard". I actually think it informs some of the current arguments about masks, airplanes/buses/trains, and other aspects of pandemic response. 🧵
2. First off, I know I'm not a philosopher or logician. My understanding of "argument of the beard" comes from a high school logic class in the 1980s. So don't dunk on me if I don't grasp the subtleties or misuse the fallacy a bit.
3. But my simple understanding is this - if you pluck one hair from a beard, obviously it is still a beard, right? Pluck one more, still a beard. But if you make that argument for every hair, eventually you will say that a clean-shaven person has a beard.

1. With the BA.2 wave here in MA, it is worth asking what the @CDCgov "community levels" tells us to do, when it will tell us to do something different, and what this means. I'll look at Suffolk County, which includes Boston. 🧵
2. Right now Suffolk County is "medium", because cases are > 200 per 100K. At that level, CDC says to talk to your health care provider if you are "at high risk for severe illness" to ask about wearing a mask. So, do nothing. It would be "high" using the old scheme.
3. What triggers "high" in the new scheme? Hospital admissions >10 per 100K. It's 5 now. So once admissions double, we enter the red zone.

Will that happen? Probably. When? Hard to say. But hospitalizations up 30% in the past week on CDC website. 3 more weeks of 30% gets there.

1. Something interesting is happening with #COVID19 in MA, where case incidence appears much higher right now in wealthier suburbs. My guess is one of two things is happening, neither of which bodes well. 🧵
2. First, the data. We are seeing average daily rates > 20 per 100K in towns like Manchester, Sherborn, Wayland, Concord, and Wellesley. In contrast, it’s <= 5 in Chelsea, Lawrence, and Brockton. This isn’t a formal analysis and there are counterexamples, but you get the idea.
3. Hypotheses 1: This is the #UrgencyOfNormal crowd. Wealthy suburbs with high vaccination and booster rates are dropping pandemic precautions at a faster rate. This is certainly happening anecdotally ⬇️
