Why does the first amendment need to protect speaking untruths? I get it that opinion vs facts is not clear cut. Certainly opinions are protected. But why do we need to protect blatant factual lies for personal or political gain that harm the general public or democracy?
Change is underway in the manufacturing sector believes @akifujimura#CEO of D2S, a member of the @ESDAlliance Alliance, as he explains to Bob Smith in today’s blog post on the @SEMIconex website. Thanks for a great explanation, Aki! https://t.co/bddAFT6P4V
Hypothetically, if Barr knew about plans and was asked to lower barrier to entry, and resigned to avoid going along, isn’t he still liable for not making the threat known? subpoena and see if he takes the fifth, lie, or become witness? maybe he didn’t know?
#RIPRBG Incredible human being. So principled that she didn’t seem to change a bit from the time she couldn’t get a job to the Supreme Court to a cultural icon. All that time using her plight to change the nation to be a more perfect union.
@Mzu_Ark @trvrb@nytimes At an unrealistic limit, if there was a magical comfortable, cheap, reliable test that every single person takes before and after anyone goes anywhere, and if we had a magically responsible citizenry that isolated themselves on a positive test, we’d be 0 cases in 3 weeks.
@Mzu_Ark @trvrb@nytimes Reopening without masks, yes. More testing, not clear. Hospitalization and deaths are good indicators immune to the test rate. I don’t know how much of increased testing is testing the same people over and over again like in the Whitehouse. It isn’t a random sample.
@Mzu_Ark @trvrb@nytimes Once positive, no need to test more. Negative means s/he qualified to get tested: likely to test again to see if still negative. Longer term, testing allows isolation to stop the spread. Over time, enough testing should lower infection rate and DECREASE positive count.
@ARanganathan72 At the end, this video says masks may not be effective against inhaling, like many say. No doubt #Masks4All is much more effective at the source. But I don’t understand why it doesn’t also help prevent inhaling.
We should require non-N95 #masks4all especially for any essential worker (thank you!) for working around products that others touch. These are important studies that can help us contain this faster.
The research supporting #Masks4All is flooding in at this point. I'm working with a cross-disciplinary academic group right now to publish a lit review.
Here's a summary of the latest paper, which takes an observational epidemiological approach.

@ARanganathan72#Masks4All Here’s a different edit of the same NHK story showing masks are effective in containing the spread even on a sneeze. By extension also effective against spread from talking. https://t.co/8bXYmSvfZa
