I've been working on this survey for the past year and a half -- excited and honored by this recognition. (I know you're supposed to say that, but I really mean it!)

I joined this project after launch, but it's been a terrific year and a half working with @CmuDelphi @CMU_Stats @SoDaUMD @Meta to build this important data resource. More in the thread... and there's more coming

[CMU Delphi @CMUDelphi]

Two years ago today, Delphi launched the COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey in the US. In partnership with @SoDaUMD and @Meta, we’ve received over 28 million survey responses in 2 years 1/10

If you know me, you know I love public defenders. So, here's a really cool opportunity to use your data skills to support one of the absolutely critical (and often under-appreciated) parts of the criminal justice system.

@RexDouglass (2) We don't have breakdown of prof degrees (MD/JD were examples), haven't looked at degree x occupation. Worth doing. Though others have found hesitancy in HCW.

[Robin Mejia @RobinMejia]

@RexDouglass Thanks. (1) 1.9% is literal percent of sample, not weighted. But, yes, possible there are other trolls. 1/

"...epidemiology also has tools to return the world to a state of relative normalcy, to allow us to live with SARS-CoV-2 as we learned to deal with other diseases, such as influenza and measles." But it's a major undertaking, requiring international coordination. Great read

"COVID-19 is not yet the worst pandemic in history. But we should not tempt fate."

Darn sobering when @larrybrilliant, one of eradicators of smallpox, writes that SARS-CoV-2 cannot be eradicated. This is a grave read with a number of solutions listed.

I guess Hawley doesn't understand the First Amendment, either.

Thank you!

In case that thought pops in your head this morning, the answer is:

No, Rudy is not smarter than folks give him credit for. He doesn’t have a legal strategy and he has no facts to fit his client’s false narrative about election fraud.

Now carry on with your day. We got this.

@maria__cuellar, Jeff Salyards, and I spent time with folks at crime labs working to improve proficiency testing.

We have lost at least 846 healthcare workers to #COVID19 in the US—people who lost their lives caring for others. These are people who would have cared for you, should anything happen. @KHNews has a new project memorializing them. https://t.co/BkIW2wwjTy

We applaud the request to Congress to provide the @uscensusbureau an additional 120 days to deliver the final #Censu2020 data ... & urge Congress to promptly authorize the extension.

I know we all want things to go back to normal.

But the worst thing that can happen is that we make a misstep and we let our emotions get ahead of logic and facts, and we go through this all over again.

At what point does the US look to other countries for guidance?
