🚨New higher R0 from CDC reanalysis... it’s a 5.7!🚨(95% Confidence Interval: 3.8–8.9). Wowzers. This much higher #SARSCoV2 R0 value carries lot of implications for vaccines and treatments and containment measures needed. 📌Thread 🧵 #COVID19 https://t.co/DRlqyqC8lP
⚠️“WHO Informal consultation on potential role of #chloroquine in clinical management of #COVID19 infection”: ➡️Mixed findings. 📌Prophylaxis use led to delayed immune response (bad). 📌But effective against #SARSCoV2 in vitro (good). Ruling: “equipoise”🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/9CJPs5vOg5
Oy! By the end of February, a Berlin start-up had produced 1.4 million tests for coronavirus to ship around the world. The US said no thanks; we can create our own. But now after numerous failures, the US now has the lowest rate for testing. #COVID19 https://t.co/GOqdkwuO29
A strong system is expected to impact NE and IA starting Friday. Uncertainty exists in the exact track of the low. NE and IA can expect to see snow, rain, freezing rain, or a combo of all 3. Please check back for information as we provide additional details. #NEwx#IAwx
Huge tornado courtesy of Tommy & Heather Welch shot in Beauregard P. that was on ground for better part of 40m & went on into Rapides P. west of Alexandria. Doppler velocity maxed at 141mph (just west of AEX) which is well into EF2 range & could have been stronger at times! #LAwx
Hundreds like Renard Oliver and his baby now have to get off the ferry from Freeport, Bahamas to Florida. He was trying to evacuate — told he could leave with Bahamian passport and police record like normal but then ferry crew says US Goverment called and changed plan last minute
I mean it when I say #Hurricane#DORIAN is worst cyclone disaster I've personally witnessed since Super Typhoon HAIYAN. Scale of destruction is jaw-dropping—you can't get your head around it—& task ahead is Herculean. They need HELP. Consider pitching in.

Whole neighborhoods were swept by mighty surge higher than anything in memory. Areas above water had catastrophic wind damage. Many deaths reported from drowning, flying debris, & collapsing houses. Medical clinic overwhelmed. An absolute catastrophe. SEND HELP TO ABACO ISLANDS.
Winds pounded the building with the force of a thousand sledgehammers. Crept out during eye to find school mostly destroyed, cars in parking lot thrown around & mutilated. Barometer said 913.4 mb.
Yep, I’m alive. Made it to Nassau. #Hurricane#DORIAN: By far the most intense cyclone I’ve witnessed in 28 years of chasing. Thought I was playing it safe by riding it out in a solid-concrete school on a hill in Marsh Harbour. Thought wrong.
Not good. Early satellite imagery giving an idea of the total catastrophe on Grand Bahama Island with concave bay and cat 4-5 northerlies sending devastating storm surge for over 24 hours from stationary Hurricane Dorian. @Rankinstudio sharing this
