Intolerance is a trait of a leader who elevates everyone around him.

If you want to lead, you must become intolerant.

Thread

Know that the degree of your tolerance is disproportional to the quality of your leadership.

The more tolerant you are, the lower the quality.

Because its not easy to uphold strong qualities & values.

Tolerance leads to erosion of your high standards.
Your responsibility as a leader is to create a culture where, whether its your followers, employees, family,

can grow and become exceptional in what you're directing them towards.

You need to protect this culture & cultivate it.
The protection of this culture will depend on

-your conviction to your leadership objective

-the values you need to uphold to attain this objective

-rejecting values that directly conflict with the attainment of your objective
Every time you compromise your leadership by accomodating lesser values through tolerance,

you not only weaken your own conviction, but you disrespect those who follow you,

who rely on your resilience to maintain the coherence & integrity of the culture you seek to build.
If you seek to build a family in hopes of raising children that can competently take charge of what you've built in abundance,

and carry out your lineage,

then you cannot be tolerant to those who your children befriend, who lack your values & damage them with their own.
If you seek to run a group of employees with the intention of delivering exceptional service in a domain,

then you need to discriminate on competence,

and be intolerant to anyone that does not comply with the competitive, harsh atmosphere necessary to deliver your objective.
You do people a favour when you become intolerant. You help them reveal their values and how much they suffer in comparison to yours.

Its a wake up call that will motivate them to raise their standards or remain average.
Its a common misconception that leaders need to be tolerant & accepting.

When in fact, it's a leaders duty to filter out the top quality people by forcing them to qualify for the standards he sets, preaches & acts upon.

It'll be up to the rest who want to ascend & join him.
Objectives can only be achieved by self-legislating laws that help you attain it.

These laws become your values. These values set a standard, which develops a culture.

Anyone who falls short of it, should not be tolerated.

Leaders protect their own through intolerance.
The stronger the culture, the more you can lead with influence, the more those who follow you will admire you.

The weaker the culture, the more you have to lead with authority, the less people will admire you.

Protect & strengthen the culture you build through intolerance.

I've seen many news articles cite that "the UK variant could be the dominant strain by March". This is emphasized by @CDCDirector.

While this will likely to be the case, this should not be an automatic cause for concern. Cases could still remain contained.

Here's how: 🧵

One of @CDCgov's own models has tracked the true decline in cases quite accurately thus far.

Their projection shows that the B.1.1.7 variant will become the dominant variant in March. But interestingly... there's no fourth wave. Cases simply level out:

Just because a variant becomes the dominant strain does not automatically mean we will see a repeat of Fall 2020.

Let's look at UK and South Africa, where cases have been falling for the past month, in unison with the US (albeit with tougher restrictions):


Furthermore, the claim that the "variant is doubling every 10 days" is false. It's the *proportion of the variant* that is doubling every 10 days.

If overall prevalence drops during the studied time period, the true doubling time of the variant is actually much longer 10 days.

Simple example:

Day 0: 10 variant / 100 cases -> 10% variant
Day 10: 15 variant / 75 cases -> 20% variant
Day 20: 20 variant / 50 cases -> 40% variant

1) Proportion of variant doubles every 10 days
2) Doubling time of variant is actually 20 days
3) Total cases still drop by 50%
Brief thread to debunk the repeated claims we hear about transmission not happening 'within school walls', infection in school children being 'a reflection of infection from the community', and 'primary school children less likely to get infected and contribute to transmission'.

I've heard a lot of scientists claim these three - including most recently the chief advisor to the CDC, where the claim that most transmission doesn't happen within the walls of schools. There is strong evidence to rebut this claim. Let's look at


Let's look at the trends of infection in different age groups in England first- as reported by the ONS. Being a random survey of infection in the community, this doesn't suffer from the biases of symptom-based testing, particularly important in children who are often asymptomatic

A few things to note:
1. The infection rates among primary & secondary school children closely follow school openings, closures & levels of attendance. E.g. We see a dip in infections following Oct half-term, followed by a rise after school reopening.


We see steep drops in both primary & secondary school groups after end of term (18th December), but these drops plateau out in primary school children, where attendance has been >20% after re-opening in January (by contrast with 2ndary schools where this is ~5%).
