4/ After hunkering down for an entire year, why couldn’t we wait just a little longer to re-open things? — PolitiTweet.org

3/ This is going on when the vast majority of people have yet to be vaccinated and supplies of vaccines, while growing, are still way too sparse. And while the new, more dangerous virus variants are spreading through the country. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ This includes my home state of Maryland, where the moderate GOP Governor hired a Trump medical advisor with a controversial record and then suddenly lifted capacity limits on many types of indoor locations. At least he kept the masks, unlike in Texas. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ Some politicians are jeopardizing victory over the pandemic. After Dr. Fauci and others warned that we need to be extra vigilant this spring in order to have a near-normal summer, governors in several states have suddenly lifted many or even all anti-virus limitations. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day 6 years ago: at an @Apple event in San Francisco with @recode colleagues @karaswisher @KatieBoehret , @LaurenGoode , @pkafka , @DawnC331 and @BonnieSCha . No masks, no social distancing, no vaccines. https://t.co/ut7KuRldbC — PolitiTweet.org

A falsehood always spreads faster than updates or clarifications to a story. Here's a great example as highlighted in @NewsLitProject's free “Get Smart About News" newsletter this week. Subscribe —> https://t.co/5Ahj1SjTqC — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another reason to listen to one of my favorite podcasts, #Nope , with @racheld and @brianhecht. They have a new theme song they composed and sang themselves! I like it! — PolitiTweet.org

@dicktofel Absolutely right. I just finished telling my wife that the racism claim is the lead. — PolitiTweet.org

@mmccourty @nytimes Um, I see where you’re going with this, but press coverage isn’t the problem. Stealing of private info by web companies and tracking people without permission are the problems. Plus, you can’t stop the press from naming “private citizens” because of the First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Despite all the misinformation spread by Facebook, this switch from opt-out to opt-in is all Apple is doing with its forthcoming new tracking option. People that are fine being tracked across the web can still choose to be tracked. But we need to incorporate this policy in a law. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Please read this @nytimes editorial calling for a federal law requiring OPT-IN privacy settings instead of today’s ubiquitous opt-out settings which are often hidden, complex and make privacy theft the default. This is a simple, clear way to help people protect their privacy. — PolitiTweet.org

@cmadison And some of us are different ages, have different underlying health conditions and different family situations. So, even dining outdoors among strangers presented different risks for different people - despite claims of strict social distancing. We too have begun vaccination. — PolitiTweet.org

@rizvified I was never in lockdown. The restaurants were closed or limited for indoor dining, depending on the location and the Covid stats. We chose voluntarily to use takeout and not to eat at restaurants. And I’m glad we did. I’m optimistic we’ll be comfortable doing so by summer. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks one long, strange year since I last dined at a restaurant. I’m hoping to resume doing it this summer. https://t.co/p1L3mAkkkg — PolitiTweet.org
