@DLeonhardt "unequal nature of underlying health conditions" aka underlying conditions *arbitrarily* afflict Black people and/or b/c they did (or didn't) do something & it just is what it is. Would suggest revision.
@DLeonhardt doesn't mention CDC also using weighted approach which "underestimates the excess burden of COVID-19 mortality among Black and Latinx individuals" > https://t.co/eSRR8Q7xHk
Also no link to CDC data used. If u did go search for the CDC data u would find a note "When compared to their own race and Hispanic sub-population, COVID-19 deaths disproportionately affect Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, & non-hispanic AI/AN populations" https://t.co/2tXbfGTE1m
@JohnMayer I’m watching u bring amazing music @RedRocksCO tonight. Pls Use this platform (literally) to fight for the indigenous groups whose stolen land we stand on
Never forget 9/11/01, but also never forget every 3 days in 2020, which had the same amount of American death due to negligent genocide by the president
#tbh I work in public health & I'm still confused about #COVID#preprints. So @stefanie2000 @hqu & I built the @preprintsifter to make it easy to get the expert opinion on on all this research. Check it out! @preprintsifter
A lot of discussion recently about transmission dynamics, most of which are extrapolated from viral loads & estimates. What does contact tracing/community testing data tell us about actual probability of #COVID19 transmission(infection rate), high risk environments/age?

Naive balance on display: let's try to find an actual expert who does not find injecting disinfectants dangerous. It is incomprehensible that journalism still hasn't figured out how to handle Trump. And you can see how much he enjoys manipulating it all.
Sharing the right information is more important than ever. Super excited to work w/ @Stefanie2000 @HarvardGH to collaborate w/ @DG_Rand testing interventions for political misinformation to health. 2 wks later & new paper is out!
🚨Working paper alert!🚨 "Understanding and reducing the spread of misinformation online"
We introduce a behavioral intervention (accuracy salience) & show in surveys+field exp w >5k Twitter users that it increases quality of news sharing

My reply to John Ioannidis' comment yesterday: We know enough now to act decisively against Covid-19. Social distancing is a good place to start https://t.co/HsVcTNJJvF via @statnews
This case study is an important one to consider and Jonathan @zittrain does a good job of pulling apart the different challenges. As ever, policies can look great until something comes along that shows us it's not adequate.
