A little out of character for my usual posts but I wanted to quickly revisit a clear example of positive public influence:

Billie Eilish *wore a face mask* to the 2020 Grammy& #39;s.

On January 26th.
Sure, she didn& #39;t keep it on the whole time, and sure Gucci didn& #39;t follow future CDC guidelines, but this only was 5 days after the first documented case of COVID19 in the US.

I 100% think highly visible acts like this helped normalize masks for young people.
And if your reaction to this thread was "wait that was in January?!" I& #39;m gonna include @just_security& #39;s incredible timeline of the early days of COVID19 and how it came to be.

It has so much information I guarantee you& #39;ve never read about. https://www.justsecurity.org/69650/timeline-of-the-coronavirus-pandemic-and-u-s-response/">https://www.justsecurity.org/69650/tim...
