WOW
We literally just landed a spacecraft on an asteroid 200 MILLION miles away, moving at 63,000 MPH, blasted it with nitrogen, captured the dust, took back off from the asteroid and sent data back to earth, arriving in 18mins.
Surely we can make #COVID19 rapid tests available
Great piece by @jljcolorado about the "deeply held disbelief of aerosol transmission", "The evidence in favor of aerosols is stronger than that for any other pathway", "nuances and importance of aerosol transmission of respiratory diseases are finally becoming mainstream"
Opinion: If we’re not willing or able to fund necessary upgrades to school ventilation systems, let’s admit that. Until we have that public discussion, I am not comfortable exposing my family to schools. https://t.co/PpnPCGl6L6
Two new studies from Germany paint a sobering picture of the toll that Covid-19 takes on the heart, raising the specter of long-term damage after people recover, even if their illness was not severe enough to require hospitalization. https://t.co/iIOdWjAaHS
Best info I've seen about school openings in other countries https://t.co/g3Tfr6HLVe Not zero-risk but "combination of keeping student groups small and requiring masks and some social distancing helps keep schools and communities safe"
Great interview with @CT_Bergstrom. ‘There is no absolute truth': an infectious disease expert on Covid-19, misinformation and 'bullshit' https://t.co/HjbmrEJh0g
What are antibody tests? How accurate are they? And what be gleaned from serological results? @mlipsitch and @michaelmina_lab help answer these questions. https://t.co/WG5zg3TZDa @statnews#COVID19
Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.
"New evidence has emerged from China indicating that the large majority of coronavirus infections do not result in symptoms." (cue internal screaming)
The BMJ should know that asymptomatic and presymptomatic are. NOT. THE. SAME. THING!!!!!

Results of the first clinical trials of remdesivir for #Covid19 are expected to start to emerge soon. A quartet of my colleagues explore what we might be able to expect. https://t.co/Whc6bhsfPy
WHO will have a special guest at today's #COVID19 press conference: @ladygaga will be joining us to announce the

I’m aware this is a cliche in public health circles. Important to repeat cliche when it is understandably not obvious to those who spend their time thinking about other things.
