1/ So, we committed to #FlattenTheCurve & did! We've gained ground.

Now, the #COVID19MA space that was once filled w/ a shared unity & purpose is seemingly fading as a result of several factors:

-unintentionally mixed messages RE: reopening planning.

- #QuarantineFatigue https://twitter.com/BillDriscollJr/status/1239689630078963714

-there is a collective dread of what comes next: news cases, a 2nd wave

-Frustration RE: changing guidance that doesn't relax enough for some or keep restrictions long enough for others

-the conflict created by moving date
targets & evolving trigger points for reopening steps

We must hold the ground we've gained & KEEP gaining.

Our shared mission is to surpress #COVID19.

#staythecourse

w/o a deployable vaccine we must rely on contact tracing & #StayingHome strategies.

Surpression is a months to years long battle.

This an ultra marathon.

The encouraging news found in this article comes w/ a stark reminder.

Good news = vaccines are in development. Some are fast-tracked.

Tougher news = we are likely a year away from proving one is 'safe & effective' then comes manufacturing & deployment https://www.wired.com/story/frontrunners-emerge-in-the-race-for-a-covid-19-vaccine/
