But as a leader, when you do, there are consequences. You ask people to sacrifice shit, they you don't, get the **** outta here. We have no use for you. |

It's public health 101. If what you're asking people to do isn't something they can or will abide by, pivot and figure something else out. Don't keep banging your head against that same wall.

So when these morons say one thing and do another they actually encourage those already on one side to push even further. |

Trust in officials and such is also a huge part of public health. The countries who have done better, have that.
We don't. For whatever reason you want to attribute that to, be it, telling them one thing or asking them not to do it then doing it yourself, whatever. It's all ****ed up. Give them the things they need to hear, be honest with them and go from there. |

All too often we are seeing massaged, misleading or flat out lies to push a certain narrative. All that does is add to the distrust. I mean I am still not in a "masks save lives" column. I don't think they do what people think for various reasons that may or may not have anything to do with the mask itself. I don't think locking shit down tight does anything either as it forces or encourages other bad behaviors. No easy answers but I think people do better figuring it out on their own one way or the other. |

It pisses me off when I see those in influential spots not do it. Or when we have evidence of x or y working but people don't believe it because of previous biases and whatnot. |

My 28 year old went to a small company gathering almost 2 weeks ago and the company accountant knowingly brought her "sick" husband to the gathering. Several days later half of the attendees including my son came down with the 'rona. Accountant has since been fired but we cant have our son home in time for Christmas because he will still be in the "quarantine window" until the 27th or 28th. He feels OK other than the annoying dry cough and headaches

I generally liked Birx in the press conferences with the Task Force and when she came to Missouri and spoke.
But to be caught breaking the very rules/restrictions/recommendations she's been preaching for 9 months and then to try and turn herself into the victim. Goodbye. |

A little bit older of a story but surprise the Mayor of Austin did it as well and was tweeting from his official account while doing it.

————————————————————————————— Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday declared elderly Floridians will be next in line to get vaccinated for COVID-19, before essential workers and younger people with underlying health conditions, cementing the state’s position in a shifting public health policy debate. During a press conference in The Villages retirement community, DeSantis said the state will be prioritizing people over the age of 70 for the next round of vaccine doses. He bristled at proposed recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control that would give the vaccine to essential workers and adults of any age with certain underlying conditions at the same time, in Phase 1b of the rollout. |
