Great thread. I feel this as a researcher and I felt this so much as a pregnant person, too. There is this default expectation that pregnant people should suffer through what can be a *ton* of discomfort in the interest of "just don't risk it" in the absence of evidence.

Angry and upset with Boston University School of Public Health for playing games with our lives in opening in person next week. Start the semester online and reassess after 2 weeks, please

This. Our system is not working. Children are not learning in these unsafe conditions-they're being babysat. Intentional online instruction during the surge creates actual learning opportunities and decreases exposure to the virus.

This takes seconds to do!

When universities proclaim that “no students died of COVID-19,” they disclaim responsibility for their communities. It is crucial for universities to recognize their culpability in an escalating pandemic. Your students did not die, but people died because of your students.

Super important research alert!

Was excited to see news of the new NASEM guidelines but when scholars I trust say it's bad guidance, I believe them. @AKWesselink There's a consensus statement mentioned in this thread we should review!

Dear #epitwitter, When times get tough just remember: the odds ratio is noncollapsible, and so are you.
