After being sworn in this morning, I'm honored to share that I've been appointed by @POTUS as the President��s Malaria Coordinator to lead the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (@PMIgov). I'm grateful for this chance to serve. My reflections on my first day in office:👇

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can't be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.

After the #COVID19 vaccine is developed, what can the world do to ensure its equitable distribution? Here's the optimist's take https://t.co/gcVX5WnZLd

[Trevor Bedford @trvrb]

Very interesting new preprint by Eran Bendavid and colleagues reports seroprevalence estimates from Santa Clara county. Great to have seroprevalence work start to emerge, but I'd be skeptical of the 2-4% seroprevalence result. 1/8 https://t.co/qzDd8ky1p0

I’m proud to endorse my friend @JoeBiden for President of the United States. Let's go: https://t.co/maHVGRozkX

THREAD: Much attention has rightfully focused on the domestic response to the coronavirus, but we can’t forget this is a global pandemic that requires a global response. None of us are safe until all of us are safe. Here’s the playbook for defeating this virus globally. 1/15

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Today, Wisconsin voters had to choose between making their voice heard and keeping themselves and their family safe. No American should ever have to make that choice.

We must do better to ensure voting is safe for all voters. The latest Wisconsin voting information is below.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

No one should have to make a choice between exercising their right to vote and staying safe during a public health crisis.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

As president, I would never send an American soldier anywhere in the world without the equipment and protection they need. We should not do any less for the heroes on the front lines of the battle we’re in now.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Everyone knows that we're facing a real crisis from the coronavirus. But do you know how we got here and what we need to do next? Ron Klain, former White House Ebola Response Coordinator, breaks it down for us:

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

Let’s talk about what happens if you get COVID19 and recover. Are you immune to the disease? How long does the immunity last? And what does that mean for your life and for the public health and economy of our society? 1/

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

DO - talk about the new #coronavirus disease (#COVID19)

DON'T - attach locations or ethnicity to the disease, this is not a “Wuhan Virus”, “Chinese Virus” or “Asian Virus”.
The official name for the disease was deliberately chosen to avoid stigmatization

[Josh Michaud @joshmich]

Quite a one-two-punch from 2 #COVID19 papers released today. First, a @ScienceMagazine paper estimates that most COVID19 infections are undocumented and unidentified through regular surveillance because they experience no, or only mild, symptoms.

[Trevor Bedford @trvrb]

This is a thread about how to interpret the seemingly sudden appearance of #COVID19 across the much of the US in the past week with some back-of-the-envelop calculations for number of current infections. 1/13

[Scott Gottlieb, MD 🇺🇸 @ScottGottliebMD]

THREAD: In U.S. we face two alternative but hard outlooks with #COVID19: that we follow a path similar to South Korea or one closer to Italy. We probably lost chance to have an outcome like South Korea. We must do everything to avert the tragic suffering being borne by Italy 1/10

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In 2015, Bill Gates told me a deadly flu-like pandemic spreading under globalized conditions was the most predictable disaster in the history of the human race, and so there was no excuse to not be prepared for it.

I'm thinking about that a lot lately. https://t.co/2XlyCtTdwW

[Matthew Herper @matthewherper]

There's a reason @SueDHellmann is a biotech legend: her calm, data-based approach to everything.

I called her for a quote on coronavirus. We decided to print almost the entire conversation. #COVID19
