Science, etc.

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

I reread this often.

Every word of it is perfect.

We spend so much of our lives obsessing over building businesses, sometimes we lose sight of why we do it.

This is your reminder.

It reminds me of the Leo Tolstoy quote from his short story Family Happiness

"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness"

The cool thing is you can "get off the grid" and be useful working 8-80 hours a week building profitable internet businesses.

You choose how much you want to work, and what kinda life you want.

It's your call.

The leverage of an audience, community and software can build you the balance if you want to take it.

I tend to think a balance in life is key to true happiness.

I love when I retreat to my cabin in the mountains in Quebec where I can reconnect with my mission, purpose and recharge.

I ended up building more interesting products when I'm feeling that way too.

It reminds me to seek "elegance rather than luxury" and to chase being "wealthy, not rich".

This resonates with me and maybe it does with you too.

Today we are publishing an early release of our COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports to help provide insights into what has changed in response to work from home, shelter in place, and other policies aimed at flattening the curve of this pandemic https://t.co/kS8jRL7PbX

"The frightening COVID-19 pandemic may be creating such a change —by forcing many of us to slow down, to spend more time in personal reflection, away from the noise and heave of the world... We have an opportunity to think about who we are, as individuals and as a society."

What an incredible show of support tonight for NHS staff, who are working around the clock to help everyone affected right now 👏 #ClapForOurCarers

Are the number of confirmed deaths rising faster in China, Italy, Spain, South Korea, or the US?

Our interactive chart shows you the trajectories since the day each country had the fifth confirmed death.

I would *never* use language like this, obvs 😉 - but we could all do with a smile just now. And if humour helps get the message across...

"Everything we say and do, and how we say and do it, affects the minds of others."

We are ethically and emotionally entangled with our friends and the🌍 right now

[Prof. Devi Sridhar @devisridhar]

I wonder if this is what happens with 'group-think'- a bunch of people with the same discipline, same background, same institutions sit together & decide a policy. This is why you need diversity in background, in discipline, in experience to make big policy decisions.

“We find that the optimal mitigation policies [quarantine/social distancing] might reduce peak healthcare demand by 2/3 and deaths by half”

[BairdDelhaye @BairdDelhaye]

Feels like a delayed response but a crucial step forward

[BairdDelhaye @BairdDelhaye]

Early countermeasures are crucial to 'flatten the curve' - "lower the rate of infection so that the epidemic is spread out over time and the peak demand for the health care system is lower."

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a new global problem.

We have published our overview of the early research and data on the outbreak and will extend it in the days ahead.

That’s a quartermaster.

Quarantine is the phenomenal feature of consciousness, or that raunchy fella from Quahog.

[Lyes Tagziria @LyesTagziria]

That’s a quesadilla.

Quarantine is an officer in the army that is in charge of living quarters, clothes, fuel and transportation.

[Kai Kupferschmidt @kakape]

It’s the feeling of seeing something play out that will cause huge human suffering, is in large parts predictable and to a certain extent avoidable and yet key people are not listening. We’re all shouting into a hurricane of public and political complacency.

[Science Advances @ScienceAdvances]

A thin film platform preserves vaccines at room temperature without refrigeration for long periods of time, perhaps making it easier to distribute vaccines for the flu and other diseases to low- and middle-income countries, according to a new study. https://t.co/tyWO9qvjHl

A fantastic intiative, with hopefully more governments following suit!
