Great thread. It’s so telling that Procarceral Twitter and its ilk will claim every conceivable benefit from more policing, no matter how speculative or unquantifiable. But when it comes to difficult-to-quantify COSTS like these, they just shrug them right off the balance sheet.

@katie_andME@atl_tx13@TheRealRhllor People were very understandably frightened when the pandemic started.
A lot of people have maintained that heightened level of fear.
But the virus is way less deadly now.
If @CDCgov and @US_FDA were honest we would all be better informed.
Lack of updated research causes panic.
