Seeing ‘Black Lives Matter’ written in chalk on the sidewalk, one city declares it a crime https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-black-lives-matter-crime-selah-washington-20200716-dcytmyr5rfdc3cvf2awxhmnhpm-story.html#ed=rss_www.chicagotribune.com/arcio/rss/category/nation-world/

@realcaseyrollins @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix The only thing about death percentages is that they change as we get more info. For example, we have thousands of "excess deaths" this year that are not known to be coronavirus related. In the future, some fraction of these will be determined to have been untested / undiagnosed COVID-19, which will raise the percentages after the fact.

So people's risk assessments based on a then-current view of death percentages will be wrong. Maybe wrong enough to have changed their behavior, maybe not.

Incidentally, I agree that the messaging around masks was a wrong move. They should have said "we need the good masks for medical people, but you can make your own" from the beginning, instead of "don't wear masks unless you're sick or a doctor".

The experience of Asia (where they've had multiple respiratory virus outbreaks over the last few decades) should have offered guidance that there was some perceived benefit to masking up. My nephew sent me a package from South Korea with dozens of government issued disposable masks.
