I've spent a ton of time in the health misinformation space. I've visited horrific "natural" cancer retreats that kill people by convincing them not to pursue chemo. Let me tell you this: The reason there's a market for misinformation is because people's needs aren't being met.

Emory Healthcare Veterans Program and Philip Held have modified PE and CPT to be delivered in 2 and 3 weeks, respectively. These IOP programs have great clinical outcomes and increase the number of patients who complete treatment. psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-50…

Psychologists use a term called "pluralistic ignorance" to describe the phenomenon of "no one believes, but everyone thinks that everyone believes." (h/t Adam Grant) Here's a way to visualize it:

I think there’s a fundamental misunderstanding in much of the public about surges. They seem like the tides, rising and falling on their own. So, the thinking goes, protect yourself when it’s high and then take everything off as soon as it’s going down. /1

………yeah

Colds don’t kill 3,358 people per day.

As we settle into this “new normal” of astronomically high cases, 1000’s of daily deaths and an under vaccinated population, I think of all the healthcare workers who will bear witness to the consequences of our decision to “move on”. And my ❤️ just 💔.

I can’t get this tweet out of my head. Literally every media outlet is calling them “restrictions” when they should be calling them “protections” and that choice is absolutely killing people.

As the Omicron surge of infections abates, Its worth reflecting on few lessons we learned Today, lets' discuss whether Omicron was indeed "milder" Short answer? Yes it was But it still caused a devastating loss of life And that's a lesson for managing future waves Thread

One more fact When Delta was dominant: An average of 1200 Americans died each day When Omicron was dominant An average of 2200 Americans died every day So this "milder" virus with 75% lower CFR killed nearly twice as many Americans every day 6/7

COVID-19 deaths continue to be high and CDC forecasting suggests they will continue to be > 10K per week for the next 4 weeks.

Schools without mask required were 3.5 times more likely to have outbreaks as compared to schools with mask required. Do you need this to happen to your child's school in order to believe it? cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

Ah removing COVID prevention measures, such as mask requirements, does not make COVID go away, returning us to "normal". It actually does the exact opposite. Please forward to those who misunderstand this.
