"I want to encourage everyone who has the opportunity, to get vaccinated so that we can have a veil of protection over this country that would end this pandemic." - Dr. Anthony Fauci @NIH @NIAIDNews #COVID19#vaccine
Wearing a mask helps protect you from breathing in the virus that causes COVID-19. #WearAMask over your mouth and nose to reduce the spread of #COVID19 to your friends, family and community members. Learn more: https://t.co/jkWwZTxyhs.
As of October 20, 79% of U.S. jurisdictions reported increases in new #COVID19. Seven-day average daily case counts were 13% higher than the previous 7 days. Help slow the spread. Wear a mask, wash your hands, stay 6 feet apart. Learn more: https://t.co/1nMYQAjpSq
CDC strongly recommends everyone wear a mask while traveling on public transportation (including airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, ride-shares) to reduce the spread of #COVID19. Learn more: https://t.co/bpOhIx8xbS.
"There’s only one enemy here and that enemy is a virus...the more we stick together, learn with each other, support each other, the more we can gain the upper hand."
NEW EPISODE TOMORROW 🎙️ IDSA speaks w/ former @CDCgov director @DrTomFrieden on COVID-19's biggest challenges.
"a biosensing platform that not only can test for viruses—including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19—in as few as 10 minutes, but also does not require expensive, specialized laboratory equipment or expertise"
Way to go @JohnsHopkins@CDCgov

A new batch of COVID-19 tests in development makes use of essentially the same technology as at-home pregnancy tests. If they are deployed widely and frequently, some experts say, they could change the course of the pandemic, even before there’s a vaccine. https://t.co/C5KhLwbc63
"For months, public health experts and federal officials have said that significantly expanding the number of coronavirus tests administered in the United States is essential to reining in the pandemic." #COVID19#testing#FlattenTheCurve#BetterHealth

"Individuals rely on test results to guide their medical treatment and decisions on whether to self-isolate. Public health officials rely on the results to track the state of the pandemic..." Epios achieves all of this without sacrificing your privacy #anonymous#testing#COVID19
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare but serious condition associated with #COVID19. Parents: For more information about MIS-C and when to seek emergency care for your child, visit https://t.co/no0GF9jx2q.
"Home self-collected swabs may increase testing access while minimizing exposure risk to health care workers and depletion of personal protective equipment, allowing for early community detection of COVID-19."
With Epios, we want to add private results to these advantages.
Led by ID fellow Denise McCulloch, we evaluated performance of unsupervised home self-collected swabs against gold standard: Self-collected Midnasal vs Clinician-Collected Nasopharyngeal Swabs to Detect SARS-CoV-2 Infection https://t.co/0SYIuqbBhe @JAMANetworkOpen@JAMANetwork
This is a very exciting development that will help clarify legal frameworks around #COVID19 and can be extremely useful for EPIOS and our country managers

New #COVID19 Law Lab created by
@who, UNDP, UAIDS, & @GeorgetownLaw to gather and share legal documents from over 190 countries to establish legal frameworks for the pandemic & ensure laws adhere to international human rights standards. https://t.co/tTBcigBhV8
The COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund (CETF) aims to ensure rapid & successful completion of outpatient clinical trials for effective early treatments for #COVID19, using existing drugs.
