Or, for that matter, a positive influence assuming it has one?

The masks thing is a great example - simple enough to tell the public to leave professionally made masks for the professionals and post good advice on how to make a functional one at home. When the public looks like a screaming mob of idiots, why wouldn't you mistrust their ability to act selflessly and carefully.

Nobody said it will have influence, it just makes you feel a little better instead of constantly taking it in the ass and never speaking up about it. Not to mention the mass amounts of misinformation and disinformation that need to be combated.

The CDC is warning about mental health impact as a result of extended isolation. They are trying to encourage public messaging that supports social connecting using technology.

Can you use your knowledge to provide ways to do that outside of Twitter?

And do you disagree that there is a void in our social construct by this distancing that is not somewhat emulated by services like Twitter, even if imperfectly?
