As some of you noticed, I'm on a twitter break - work too busy right now, hope to be back soon.

Imma leave this inspiring video here in tribute to the HCWs battling #COVID19, especially in Seattle at Univ. of Washington Harborview MC & UW MC Montlake, my old stomping ground.

[Tom Bouthillet @tbouthillet]

Incredible short film from Harborview in Seattle. Just in case you forgot that #COVID19 is an extremely dangerous disease that spares some and devastates others for reasons that are not well understood. h/t: @nicchik90

@PeterHotez This is my biggest fear -now that FDA cuts corners for safety & efficacy of drug approval, & doing virtually no test kit vetting under EUA since the CDC test kit debacle, next they'll do the same for a vaccine - rush production when still inadequately tested for safety & efficacy

[☣️Coronavirus🧬COVID-19☣️STEM @CoronavirusSTEM]

@Brief_19 Quit shaming ppl who require more sleep, are more exhausted, and/or more stressed than others.

THIS is part of academia's toxic culture -you're unable to praise 1 without implying the rest are worthless.

If you don't realize you do it in tweets, you likely slam them IRL too

@EricKingFrey Hello, please find the unroll here: @MiscSusan: Ok, I have to say something, especially as I keep getting pulled into in these posts. COVID-19 causes ARDS.… https://t.co/thYHAIIoFW Share this if you think it's interesting. 🤖

How much privacy are you willing to sacrifice to dine out, shop, and get back to the office? In #China, more businesses are asking people to prove they most likely don’t have #coronavirus by scanning bar codes to show their whereabouts and health status.

On Friday evening, about 730,000 cars, carrying perhaps 10% of Moscow's 12.7 million population, left Moscow, centre of Russia's epidemic, for the countryside.

This looks like hype.
Kit runs only on their equipment, each place must buy.
Yes, test "in less than an hour". But in video, sample cartridge has only 3 tubes (is 1 a neg. control, 1 a pos. control, 1 a sample? or 3 samples?).
So, 1 or 3 samples an hour? 75 a day tops?

[☣️Coronavirus🧬COVID-19☣️STEM @CoronavirusSTEM]

@dylanhmorris Thanks for helpful thread. Saw those inocula differences, knew higher = longer.
& some infected ppl have higher viral loads on NP or OP swabs than others.
But how does the inoculum range you used compare to an infected person's cough (with typical viral load)?
Ballpark?

[☣️Coronavirus🧬COVID-19☣️STEM @CoronavirusSTEM]

@LaurelCoons @MorganStanley Our testing capacity is nowhere close to 500K/day.

Each US metro = separate peak, & most not yet anywhere close. & since no total lockdown, ppl still travel, & no surgical masks for all, we'll not have such low troughs after peak.

2nd wave sooner - too many asymptomatics

Not a good sign - commercial lab #COVID19 testing has been inching downward over the past weekish, doesn't appear to be only weekend reporting:

April 10: 97,000
April 9: 95,000
April 8: 99,000

It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life.

The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it. Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past. #StayHomeSaveLives

The BCEC has rapidly transformed to temporarily function as the new Boston Hope Medical Center. 1,000 beds are now available for #COVID19 patients to help prevent over-capacity at our hospitals. #BostonHope #BostonStrong
