I was early to #PhysicalDistancing and #Masks4All, and I remain pessimistic about some of the effort to #OpenSafely.
But I still wrestle with the merits of a general mask mandate. Sudden mass behavior change with an uncomfortable/unfamiliar idea is hard. https://twitter.com/ElliottStephenB/status/1276631633400127489

We demonstrated very clearly that we could #FlattenTheCurve in Nashville by starting with #SaferAtHome and easing into an #OpenSafely scenario.
I think working with businesses on effective protocols is easier and possibly as effective as a generalized mask mandate.

I try to lead by example and wear masks any time I get groceries or enter enclosed spaces (like city hall).
And all leaders need to be responsible with #Masks4All.
But I think we can accomplish the principles of #OpenSafely with business participation and leadership.

Regardless, the baseline principles for effectively limiting the spread of #COVID19 remain:
* #StayHome
as possible.
* Participate in #Masks4All (for others, even if not for you).
* Prefer businesses committed to #OpenSafely.
