1. #ZeroCovid 2030 is the goal
Activists, campaign for it. Scientists, analyze how to achieve it. Policymakers, implement it.
Different countries may pick different dates - either way it will require international cooperation.
By then we will have ten year COVID-19 survivors.

2. It’s stunning that I’m the only one making such an argument. As if millions of people worldwide hadn’t studied political science or understand how policy making works!
Pick up the slack please, this is not acceptable.
No goal = no policy = no change.

3. Key: know that public opinion has little impact on policy outcomes. Most discussions you see? Irrelevant. Power matters more.
Read political science, use the legal system, work with political entrepreneurs, unions, patients, employers, insurances—that’s how you affect change.

4. We could have learned all this from HIV in early 2020. We didn’t.
Not to worry, you can start today!

5. Public opinion follows, it never leads. The one notable exemption in a field of appreciable complexity is nuclear exit in Germany, and even there most international observers just project their own POV.
MDs or virologists don’t usually have qualifications in policy analysis.

6. ZeroCovid 2030 is important because people aren’t stupid.
If there is no goal, no credible process to follow, they will just ignore you when you go on about covid.
Without a goal of elimination/suppression, the necessary consequence is “living with covid”
It is no surprise

7. Without Zero Covid 2030, without a goal, you will also have no funding, hence no science, no vaccines, no treatments, leaving your health up to chance.
The virus may evolve for higher viral load and broader tropism. I wouldn’t be this complacent.

8.Tat is the key protein in HIV. Maybe read a bit of HIV science, it will come in handy!

9. #ZeroCovid 2030 means freedom. It is the opposite of lockdowns - reminder 👇 as you only hear this on Twitter, hence most people will never have heard it.
You CAN go for “Living with covid 2030” if you are a glutton for pain. It will decarbonize some. I wouldn’t recommend it.
