Please read this consensus statement in Nature from last month. Lately, these common-sense recommendations are being framed as "hardline," "zero-COVID," "fringe," in the popular media and even by some from our own communities, but there is remarkable consensus among scientists on what we need to do, even if we do not want to listen. As a benchmark for our aspirations, this is a fine document. #COVID #publichealth

@gregggonsalves

yes - excellent piece

it would be awesome if a broad group of journalists like Andrew Nikiforuk or @pennydaflos or @edyong209 could distill it for average joe like me

as scientists have banded in some jurisdictions into ad hoc modeling/comms groups, it might be powerful if indie journos did likewise

This. The paper is extraordinarily dense. Journalists, commentators and politics needs to distil this and turn it into comprehensible messages and actions. Without diluting the core messages.

And aimed at the three levels. Personal, Institutional / Corporate, Governmental
