I don’t agree with this “give up on containing the virus, consign tens thousands more people to death” strategy the Republican Party has hit upon but if we’re going to go for it we should do it Cruz’s way. — PolitiTweet.org

The reason it’s important for GOP Party politicians to be seen publicly wearing masks isn’t about the individual risk profile (Trump & Pence are tested daily, Rand is very likely immune) it’s about modeling safe behavior especially if we want to “open up” — Ted Cruz did it right. — PolitiTweet.org

A few people recently have quoted @lymanstoneky’s “lockdowns don’t work” article at me recently. It’s good. But what he says works is a combination of centralized quarantine, universal mask wearing, individual caution, and travel restrictions. Not “hope for the best.” — PolitiTweet.org
