COVID19 Public Health Information - Wear a mask.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK. #realmenwearmasks

Dr. Fauci on US coronavirus contact tracing efforts:

"Even with identification, isolation and contact tracing, often the dots are not connected."

He says 50-70% of Americans reached by phone won't talk to contact tracers.

"That is what's not working."

Given the situation, I am going to use this as a channel to give factual info and suggestions on Covid19. I may fail, and if I do call me out on it.

Pence just held a briefing on COVID-19. A responsible person would have said pretty much the opposite. This is a danger.

Thanks @Farzad_MD for sharing

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Protecting health is not getting in the way of economic recovery, it's the route to economic recovery. I discussed with @llerer why we must face the complex reality of the pandemic and how to stop the spread. https://t.co/vBqKiXeB8w

Thank you @nataliexdean This is great info!

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST:

What does it mean that the median age of new cases is dropping in some areas? I see three possible explanations, not all good. A thread on how to distinguish between them. 1/10

(Figure h/t @ScottGottliebMD)

[Andy Slavitt @ASlavitt]

The primary line of Pence/Trump has been we’re seeing cases because we over-test. There are a few truthers out there still saying that but most have moved on to other things. I think we can rule that out as the issue (thread). 8/

[Andy Slavitt @ASlavitt]

We can still reduce the deaths from this disease.
-New therapies are being created/manufactured as are vaccines, but I worry not fast enough
-Masks reduce transmission
-Congress can make the resources a priority
-Paid family leave would be humane 23/

This is reminder to wear a mask from your local health group.
