He knows the minds of Republican voters, and I think he's making a valid point. I wonder if whatever good this might do as far as convincing hesitant Dem minority voters will be counteracted by more right-wing denialists thinking it's all a liberal plot. Though I think he's too broad in the way he says it, as I do think peer pressure works with this kind of thing. Best to not make it such an "official national liberal group" activity, better to speak more directly and individually to fans and followers on social media?

Vaccination concerns are most effectively addressed by doctors, not celebrities and politicians. https://t.co/Jvr64aopCS

Eyes on the prize: forget the politics, get as many vaccinated as possible however possible, pure numbers is the key, nothing else. Only virus mutations win if too many remain unvaccinated for too long.

Here's where the UK really shines. America is going to have a tough time getting this many people to take the vaccine. https://t.co/wABsp6nH3A

Nate Silver calls out Fauci for gaslighting

It's pure gaslighting at this point to say we don't know whether vaccinated people spread the virus. Tons of studies—including from the CDC!!!—show that vaccines massively reduce (though probably not entirely eliminate) transmission. https://t.co/vekZpR9gLk

I admit I am sympathetic to Nate Silver saying this. Fauci is doing paternalizing spin, simplifying complex explanations about the need for masks against variants for the masses to mass media. This is where the field of Public Health sucks. Just tell the truth and let friends and relatives do the work of explaining to the stoopids.

scary anecdotals

Detroit-area hospital is out of ventilators tonight for Covid patients, a source tells me. Michigan has almost as many people hospitalized now as the peak last April. It's very bad.
— Justin Miller (@justinjm1) April 10, 2021

Please. Everyone needs to listen to Michael Osterholm’s podcast, The Osterholm Update: Covid-19. Yesterday’s talks about this resurgence. He has been right 100% of the time since last March. MI outbreaks include more than 200 K-12 schools & youth sports, among kids. Same in MN.
— Kathleen Zurcher (@KAZurcher) April 10, 2021

Yep, I'm in MN and we're surging too. Osterholm predicted this and he was right as usual.
— Karen Ziemniak (@ZiemniakKaren) April 10, 2021

Yes, Most public health experts have been warning for weeks. Osterholm is one of the more vocal. Please heed his warning. If we keep relaxing our behaviors, the variants (evolved to spread more quickly) will have an edge. Get vaccinated + Pub Health practices are the way out! pic.twitter.com/AiwG0fhpR8

A friend of mine visited his terminally ill partner in MI this week (first time he has been allowed to visit in months). He said the hospital was like a war zone; totally overwhelmed with Covid patients. Be careful out there. Stay vigilant.

He writes: “...we are surrounded by the dread malady... the hospital is completely overwhelmed... it is a Purgatory of the infirm, with gurneys in the hallways... life has never looked as precious to me as it does right now.”

This will kill non-covid patients. My relative caught covid waiting for a room by spending the night in the hallway--no rooms available. He died of covid two weeks later.

Co-worker in AZ proud of AZ no mask and everything open, making snarky comments to me, in OR because we are still pretty locked up. I said the #'s don't lie. We have way fewer cases. I've supported my governor the whole time.
— Standup America (@Dsp503) April 10, 2021

I left AZ last week, most likely for good. The covid response there was ghoulish and thats putting it nicely. Between DoNothing Gov. Ducey and all the anti maskers, I was scared all the time.Wouldn’t be surprised if they spike there too. Hope they don’t. Still have friends there.

Florida will be there very soon. Colorado is on its way as well. Denver is very bad right now.

When a Brooklyn mother lost her husband to COVID-19, it left one hole in her heart and another in her pocket.

Nearly a year later, she's struggling to pay the bills and even feed her family, she says. https://t.co/i3fS55DBWQ

[....] Ileana Cotto is among them. She and her husband, Joel Gomez Dominguez, were scraping by with five children, ages 9 to 17 at the time, at home in Williamsburg when he got sick last year.

Gomez worked as a Brooklyn apartment-building superintendent bringing in $600 a month, while Cotto stayed home taking care of their youngest daughter, who has an intellectual disability. They were both looking forward to the spring — they sold empanadas and soda at local baseball diamonds to supplement their income.

That never happened. Last March, while making his rounds at the apartment complex, Gomez started feeling ill. The 37-year-old checked into Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn and was diagnosed with COVID-19. By April 6, he had died [....]

and Trump always pretended he was doing the latter, that was one of his main sells, i.e. a great health care plan is easy peasy, we're going to give you one, not all this bureaucratic nonsense...
