As an editor, I often read discussions that are long winded, meandering and fail to make an impact.

They feel like an after-thought rather than a key part of the paper.

Here are some tips to make your discussion better. Full credit to @sanjaysaint who taught me this years ago!

Dear President Trump - You cite The Lancet in your attack on WHO. Please let me correct the record. The Lancet did not publish any report in early December, 2019, about a virus spreading in Wuhan. The first reports we published were from Chinese scientists on Jan 24, 2020.

Such an elegant piece of music, but can't help laughing when I saw this comment: "I’m the dude in the chair without any instruments" :)

I spoke with a Doctor from Wuhan who was sent there as part of the 2nd wave of medical teams

We spoke about what it was like on the ground, what they did, what issues they faced, how they coped & additional lessons for concerned doctors around the world

Covid-19 is an order of magnitude worse than flu at it’s worse.

If we are going to compare them, we have to start using the correct statistics.

Day 3 (sorry)
Day 4: Not the fucking flu

I spent 2 days in the "hot zone" in New York hospitals, witnessing needless death and heartache, and heroic, shattered health workers. One doctor spends her days treating patients, holding their hands--then goes home and cries. Her message: "Stay home."

Reopening NYS will be a gradual process and it all comes down to testing.

We developed an antibody test but we need the Federal Government to help.

They must use the Defense Production Act to rapidly scale up testing.

If I could – I would.

The goal is to hit a No Transmission phase when life can return to normal. 

I can't stress enough that this is many MONTHS away — but it IS something we can envision. And to get there, we’ll need a substantial amount of testing. We can’t get there with what we have now.

“The nationalism that now has flared up around the White House threatens to undermine the effort to manage a global crisis... The only way we can get a handle on the situation is with international collaboration.” @hholdenthorp #COVID19 #coronavirus https://t.co/bTgYSJtodC

[Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett]

When outbreaks start leaders say, "It's trivial. More people die of flu, of car crashes, of cancer.." as if that justifies lack of urgent concern.

We finally got some good news today.

The Chinese government helped facilitate a donation of 1,000 ventilators that will arrive in JFK today.

I thank the Chinese government, Jack Ma, Joe Tsai, the Jack Ma Foundation, the Tsai Foundation and Consul General Huang.
