Nee model shows—if @realDonaldTrump had enacted #PhysicalDistancing 2 weeks earlier than @CDCgov finally did—90% of #COVID19 deaths could have been prevented.
As I warned: in the face of this highly contagious #coronavirus, INACTION = more people DIE

On 3/16, the WH recommended #PhysicalDistancing. ~90% of the cumulative #COVID19 deaths in the US could’ve been prevented by acting 2 weeks earlier, when there were only 11 deaths. If imposed 1 week earlier on 3/9, ~60% of deaths could’ve been avoided. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/opinion/covid-social-distancing.html
Dr. Tony Fauci told @CNNSotu: “Obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives,” but “there was a lot of pushback about shutting things” early in the outbreak.

Starting in late February, I repeatedly called for lockdowns, finally writing this piece in the Boston @GlobeOpinion.

@realDonaldTrump has proven he can’t lead a robust response to the #CoronavirusPandemic.
This is only the 1st wave of #coronavirus infections—the 2nd wave will likely be much larger and MORE deadly. We *still* don’t have enough #COVID19 testing or #PPE.
