There was a period in February when every Western public health official was saying “there’s no need to wear a mask unless you’re sick” and every person who lived in Asia was saying “everyone should wear a mask in case they’re sick.” Same science, opposite (better) social norm. — PolitiTweet.org

People use “twitter is not real life” to mean two different things: — One, which is wrong, is the idea that what happens on twitter is unimportant or has no impact. — One, which is right, is that Twitter is unprepresentative in a systematic way that can distort things. — PolitiTweet.org
