Thread on re-opening a state & mask-wearing.
1/ Gov. Polis of CO has gathered some really smart people who know how to do math. A ‘projections’ report was released on 4/20/20 & is publicly available

2/ The problem with these fancy projections is the assumption that “mask wearing” works. It only works if people actually do it. I go for walks every day, 3x/day. Each time, I see between 10-20 runners, bicyclists, moms w/ strollers, dog walkers. Maybe 1 in 10 is wearing a mask.
6/ Here are some screenshots of the projection models. Again, the ones that factor in mask-wearing mean nothing if people are refusing to do it. #Covid19 #CoronaVirus #CoronaVirusPandemic
3/ So these projections mean nothing when the selfish behavior of humans is not factored in. People aren’t wearing masks, even with the awareness that their possibly asymptomatic exhale could infect, and kill, someone.

4/ People are dying from virus spread, which can be impossible to prevent in some situations. But when someone is out exercising, which Coloradans are always doing, they are “aerosolizing” the air with each exhale. #Covid19 #coronavirus #CoronavirusPandemic
5/ People are going to die from the metaphorical pandemic of others’ selfishness. These are people who have every reason to help others by wearing a mask, and are flat out refusing to, because it would be “uncomfortable.” So if they’re asymptomatic, & spreading it, oh well.
