Harvard epidemiologist outlines steps still needed to flatten curve and doubts schools US reopening anytime soon.

Title (Dublin Core)

Harvard epidemiologist outlines steps still needed to flatten curve and doubts schools US reopening anytime soon.

Description (Dublin Core)

Once again I felt the importance of this tweet is related to my own state and even my own school. Here we have a leading expert on Covid highlighting the steps needed to flatten the curve (masks, no large indoor gatherings, no reopening early), yet all these steps have been disregarded by my state. For example, Mill Ave, popular clubbing area in Tempe, had clubs fully open, packed with people, and no masks required just last weekend. And of course the state has already fully opened up. The epidemiologist also shares his doubts about schools reopening in the fall and still being safe, but ASU has already committed to being back on campus in the fall, which highlights the seemingly random decision making taking place all across the nation as institutions, states, and business have to decide between public health and economics.
