When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, “Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.” So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:
A sketch to explain how a new variant may appear milder even with no change in underlying virulence. This can occur because, when calculating the fraction of cases that are severe, the denominator now includes many re-infections that had previously been averted. A thread. 1/8
Truly amazing satellite imagery of the powerful storm (technically a "bomb cyclone," as some have noted, due to its very rapid strengthening) affecting nearly the entire West Coast Sunday afternoon. What an incredible specimen of a textbook mid-latitude cyclone! #CAwx#ORwx#WAwx
NorCal storm update: this already very impressive #AtmosphericRiver storm event is nowhere near over, and may in fact be about to intensify in many areas (including 2020/2021 burn areas). Satellite imagery suggest the back end of heavy precipitation is still well offshore. #CAwx
@rbdoeker@HarringtonBecca@maggieNYT @KatieBalevic Typically schools do offer a bus driving position in conjunction with other positions at the school, combining two part time positions into enough hours to be full time.

Anyone carry a large purse? I'm working on scene where someone frantically dumps out their purse after not cleaning it out in a while, to check for something placed in it. I'm curious if there r unlikely things people keep in large purses. "Unlikely" of course = diff for everyone
My dad is an ICU doctor treating COVID-19 patients. In the past WEEK he has set more “I’ve never seen a heart rate/RBC count/etc. like this” records than in his decades-long career. What this virus does to the body is like “sticking your finger in an electric socket.” Stay home.
Misleading Stanford Covid diagnostic study is all over news. Flaws w/ this study (authors acknowledge) could trick you into thinking that getting shot in the head has a low chance of killing you. I invest in diagnostics. I see this often. A dead body... https://t.co/rBJvMBWWmD
Roman Amphora coming off the wheel, another lock down activity that would have been easier with @PottedApprentis on hand! #Archaeology#pottery#ceramics
