5 truisms of public health, racism, COVID-19. 1. Mass gatherings spread virus 2. Being outside helps – we don’t know how much. 3. Wearing mask helps – may be a lot. 4. Racism kills 5. A destroyed economy kills Thread

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST: Lately I have been asked why we are seeing a dramatic turnaround in cases in the US. Is it vaccines? Herd immunity? An artifact due to a drop in testing? Behavior change? Weather?? A few tweets about how I step through this question. 1/6
