👋🏽Hi friends — I'm a PhD student in infectious disease epi

👵🏻In late Feb, my gran wanted #COVID19 facts

💻I compiled info from reliable sources into a doc

💪🏽Apparently, it's useful

🚀So now, I share with you: https://t.co/CZJjqpCrbB

🙏🏽Big TY @jennykbrooks for fact checking

I’m amazed by the amount of people still going out. I get it. I’m 29 and I wanna live my life too.

But this is a pandemic. Sacrifice now. Stay home. Slow the spread of coronavirus. We‘d return to normalcy sooner. If not: more deaths, full hospitals and a lockdown are inevitable.

If our neighbor or co-worker gets sick, we have the potential to get sick.

If our neighbors lose their jobs, then our local economies suffer, and we may lose our jobs.

It is at this moment that we must remember that we are all in this together.

These airport scenes are *infuriating*. A policy designed around propaganda rather than science and announced suddenly is now resulting in possibly exposing *thousands* of Americans to infection right before bringing them into the country. This is almost criminal malpractice.

[Jacob Fiksel @jfiksel1]

For #publichealth people trying to communicate how serious #COVID19 is to your friends, I've had the best success by discussing how the true number of cases in the US is most likely 5-10X the number of confirmed cases (@trvrb)

[Adam Kucharski @adamjkucharski]

I am deeply uncomfortable with the message that UK is actively pursuing ‘herd immunity’ as the main COVID-19 strategy. Our group’s scenario modelling has focused on reducing two main things: peak healthcare demand and deaths... 1/

[Tina Nguyen @tina_nguyen]

I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.

I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

[Athena Chen @athena_chen]

Definitely recommend watching.

1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer. A two part thread about soap, viruses and supramolecular chemistry #COVID19

[Athena Chen @athena_chen]

Could really go for some chili rn

[Athena Chen @athena_chen]

Pretty sure I just glided across campus ❄️

[Athena Chen @athena_chen]

You know you have gotten used to the cold when you see 30 degrees and you think it's warm...😁

[Athena Chen @athena_chen]
