"About 20 of Costa's colleagues held a vigil and placed their blue-gloved hands on him as he lay dying."

Heart-wrenching story. More than 576 US health workers have now died from Covid. This should NOT keep happening. https://t.co/IdgeRVbph8

The tear gas wasn’t tear gas. The photo op wasn’t a photo op. The protests weren’t peaceful. The death toll is exaggerated. The virus isn’t that bad. The economy doesn’t need any more help.

All they have left is telling us not to believe what we’re seeing with our own eyes.

Another "new" study showing "In a cough...we found two distinct types of drops, large droplets (100–1000 μm in diameter) and small droplets (1–10 μm), with the small droplets being much more prevalent. During speech, only the small droplets were found." https://t.co/C60mvtpFwP

Avoid the three Cs! Japan was way ahead of the game with their clear messaging here.

A @ColumbiaMSPH preprint has attracted considerable attention for life saving impact for each day earlier implementation of control measures. The⬆️#dataviz by @nytimes vs the @medrxivpreprint is notable https://t.co/gjdLQnqRu3 by @SenPei_CU and colleagues

Breaking News: If the U.S. had begun imposing social distancing measures one week earlier than it did in March, about 36,000 fewer people would have died in the coronavirus outbreak, according to new estimates from Columbia University researchers https://t.co/phnyEgZice

Hard to escape the conclusion that being a vegetarian is the pro public health thing to do right now. Perhaps that’s always true, but now enough so to compel me. https://t.co/U8DA5kWKSt

"US reacted like..country with..dysfunctional government whose leaders were too corrupt..to head off mass suffering"

"country that turned out eight combat aircraft every hour at..peak of WWII could not..produce..75-cent masks or..nasal swabs"

Guess what? If you can't work from home, you are much more likely to be PCR+.

Airplanes: modeling based on outbreaks concluded airborne transmission (>2 m) accounted for 21% of transmission, close contact 29%, fomites 50% for SARS-CoV-1. It was more airborne than flu or noro. https://t.co/i1FbSaoJiy Good idea to wear masks on planes.

"The US has 51 million people over 65. There are 103 million with high blood pressure, 34 million have diabetes...

People presenting 'isolate the elderly and vulnerable' as some sort of easy solution really need to flesh out what they think that would look like in practice."

Today I shared testimony with the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, HHS, & Education on the #COVID19 response. I told the committee what I’ve been saying here. We are in a critical moment in this fight. 1/ @AppropsDems @HouseAppropsGOP

Fast and strong response by government equals success.
Slow and weak response by government equals failure.

Every death above 10 per million in a developed nation is the direct result of governmental negligence.
