1/10 For all those who are so certain that they know how human beings can control #COVID look at the curves below and some of the previous discussions. Do we really know all of the answers? @drjohnm @Rfonsi1 @VPrasadMDMPH @HeartOTXHeartMD
2/10 France today = 10x as many cases as their spring peak, which now looks like a blip
3/10 Worldwide per capita
4/10 Some news stories that did not age well
5/10 “Switzerland is a high-performing country, used to being at the top of international rankings in all sorts of categories from innovation to well-being to prosperity. Now it can add managing coronavirus to the list.”
6/10 and in medical journals
7/10 Oh, but wait, look now. Be careful about declaring “winners” when you don’t know how many innings are in the game.
8/10 But history does give us some insight. The curve from 1918-19 looks very similar. Most deaths were in the second wave. Different virus, different century, not sure what will happen next. But, it seems to me that the virus is more in charge than we are ...
9/10 I’m not sure we know most, let alone all, of the answers. We need to study as rigorously as possible, be open minded and honest. Accept that there are unknowns and things we cannot control. Do the best we can, be respectful, help our neighbors, and get through this together.
10/10 And, when there is an FDA approved vaccine, I will run as fast as I can to get in line. After what the world has gone through, I’m betting I will have lots of company!
