@rupasubramanya @brianlilley I’m less convinced. We never got to a 50% reduction in spring 2020. Doesn’t seem like that happened in the last week. https://t.co/UyXZmGZHzH

The security theatre that’s impacted every facet of our lives since 9/11 surely influences why many have acted out against social distancing/ masking since March 2020. March 2020 acute upturning of peoples lives was that “one more thing” that pushed ppl ov

Previous data suggests pre-pandemic contacts among school populations is 22.4M. That is an average of 1.5 contacts per person in the population, or just over 7 contacts per school population (students, teachers and staff). https://t.co/TFHxiMX2ny

@deonandan @uOttawa Was that written in a sarcasm font? It supposedly has never been that low. https://t.co/Th8YNu9vMv
@notkent @Sue_Innovates @COVIDSciOntario I was just asking for the basis of the claim. Study you link to shows daily contacts dropped from 12.27 pre-pandemic to 6.58 in phase 3 (Mar 24-16 May’20) - see Table 6. The chart shared in the thread only shows pha

If these estimates are correct (and they probably are - they are produced by one of the 5 ON Science Table modelling teams - York U), we were never close to 70% of pre-pandemic levels... not even when mobility was lowest (Phase 2 below - April/May 2020) ht
@stevenm11834705 @kat_71 @DarrenKilminst1 @melblawyer26 @PRGuy17 But don't take my word for it. See what effect lockdowns have on shifting social contact patterns and their subsequent influence on transmission. https://t.co/3zfpNam2Y5
@SolidSn01340514 If I were listening to the TV, I would be like you, spreading a deadly virus to my loved ones. Bars are open, people are allowed to walk about willy-nilly, and you are part of this mess. Obviously you already have your mind set in stone so
