8. We have no national #COVID19 plan. If we did, we'd have a digital surveillance strategy, as reviewed @RockefellerFdn report. In the meantime, you are welcome to join >12,000 Americans enrolled in @detect_study to donate your heart rate data. Spread the word, not the virus. 🙏
#DNADay is Saturday April 25. Genomic research has given children like Madden a dramatic new start on life. Thank you to our partners so we can contribute to child well-being.

Medical professionals can register now for tomorrow's @CME_UofC COVID CORNER webinar.
It will cover goals of care, palliation and end of life care. This includes key ethical considerations, just-in-time clinical tools, frameworks and resources. @kwburak https://t.co/327lvCT9uZ
April 6th outlook
1. The US appears to be reaching its death curve apex, w/ some flattening, but has passed Spain & the 1,000/d mark
2. New York, also flattening, is still the outlier. Other states, compared w/ priors, show increased slope (FL, LA) or decrease (MI, NJ)

For every retweet this receives, @ArleneDickinson is donating $1 (up to $10,000), to the @CalgaryFoodBank!
In times like these, the generosity and community-minded spirit of Calgarians is needed more than ever.
Every $1 in donations buys $5 in food.

While we all would like to grow immunity against this particular virus and the associated class, it's too early to predict the nature of immune response in different people. Continue to maintain safe practices.
Until we know more about who may be at greatest risk & more evidence about treatments, the best way to prevent severe illness is for all of us to perform physical distancing, stay home when possible, and avoid non-essential activities. (2/2)
Our #COVID19AB tracking team has added some new features to https://t.co/vd41Tr6iVT including doubling rates and policy comparisons between the main relevant countries and cities battling the virus. Keep checking back, we are making changes all the time!
