@mikeduncan This is the worst thing that could happen to an excellent series of historical podcast. It's certainly not Revolutions episode 11! Why not start a new fictional series under another title?
@Storm_Heter What about the lands taken before the U.S. was formed or taken by the European powers? Does U.S. have any responsibility for those? Limitations on the extent of the principle of return internationally? NZ-Māori (Aotearoa) example?
@Storm_Heter Good and legitimate topic. The way it is worded the negative will provide arguments to challenge the notions of illegality and what is considered coercion (via international law and rules of war etc.)

@ESU_CMST Ten years ago, Dan Rue, Danielle Millett, Jamie Shelton (Bennett), & Steven Natiello at homecoming for the 30th Anniversary of the Communication Department at ESU. We could not do the 40th anniversary this year but we'll celebrate together in-person hopefully next year!
THREAD: Maybe you’ve heard about Ct values in the qPCR test and viral loads.
So what’s a Ct value, why is higher Ct a lower viral load, what’s it have to do with #COVID19 , and why do we care?

So much focus on sensitivity of the test. As though all tests must match up to PCR
But could focusing so much on achieving the greatest molecular sensitivity for asymptomatic testing *when testing is infrequent* be doing more harm than good?
I’ll explain

6. We can dedicate our national and local resources to support people when they are isolating until they are not transmitting the virus.

Write to your legislators and elected officials! The technology for a rapid, inexpensive, at home, spit on paper, COVID-19 test exists and millions of tests can easily be manufactured and distributed. https://t.co/po5JUTfvqM
3. They can be done at home, at school or at workplace daily.
4. They can be done in pools i.e. family members, work or school cohorts, team members etc. to lower the cost even more.
5. Daily application of these tests can reopen schools and businesses in full.
This insight of @michaelmina_lab could allow us to go back to (almost) normal:
"A paper-strip #SARSCoV2 test with 30% sensitivity to detect any PCR positivity, but 90% to detect transmissible virus is a massive victory."

Hey @FDA, please listen & save lives.
