We must repudiate the idea that "speech can be violence" once and for all. @glukianoff and I wrote about the dangers of promoting this idea on college campuses back in 2017, in @TheAtlantic:

free speech. but we’ll shoot you.
something is deeply broken in the west. if we don’t fix it, eventually everyone could be ushered at gunpoint to sign the proclamations of the Truth Ministers.
"The proliferation of smartphones and social media mean that young men and women now increasingly inhabit separate spaces and experience separate cultures."

@SeMujerMich buenas tardes, me urge comunicarme con la Secretaría Particular o la persona encargada de la alerta de género, nadie atiende en sus teléfonos o correo electrónico desde hace varios días. ¿Me podrían contactar a la brevedad por favor?
17) I encourage people to investigate the daily testing volume in Mexico, and compare with change in cases. See this example from US in the last 2 weeks: CASES INCREASING FASTER THAN TESTING = true epidemic growth. This is also seen by % POSITIVITY RATE.

16) Also it’s extremely important to consider not just HOW MUCH YOU TEST, but WHEN you test. Early testing is critical. Early testing stops an epidemic before it rages out of control. US was late to start testing. Italy did similar testing to New Zealand but 🇮🇹 was late lockdown.
15) Finally, TESTING PER CAPITA of different countries. This is most asked of all: here is the graph. Mexico 🇲🇽 is very far down the list of testing per capita. This is cumulative testing, not daily. South Korea 🇰🇷 tests less now Cuz epidemic contained. https://t.co/pbMzg6ubYv
14) Many are asking who are being tested in the US? Early on, it was very limited (the US had many mistakes), but US testing has increased dramatically. Testing is now covered by most private insurance and govt insurance. Much easier now to test than before. Which is critical.
13) Another alternative indirect testing approach is wastewater testing it virus particles. It is gaining support worldwide, with companies like @BiobotAnalytics doing it. And recently also successful in finding the epidemic hit Europe in December. https://t.co/oGdqAi65gl
