Puff piece for a conspiracy theorist uncritically repeats his claim that social distancing is unnecessary because the curve started flattening before stay-at-home orders were issued.

He conflates social distancing with stay-at-home orders. Social distancing started WAY earlier. https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1248330118403100674
Recall that the stay-at-home orders were issued only as a reaction to people refusing to practice social distancing.

The social distancing recommendations, and the closures that Berenson is so critical of, came weeks earlier than the stay-at-home orders.
