1) I wanted share some data from a manuscript that just wen online at https://t.co/hWZ9o1GII2. This was spearheaded by the fantastic Dr. Ania Wajnberg in collaboration with many parts of the Mount Sinai Hospital and Icahn School of Medicine.
@SarahMaslinNir This is a good article discussing the evidence for wearing masks to prevent both transmission and contraction. Everyone should be wearing masks right now, even a homemade one https://t.co/sWaSUpklCt
"if you mandated that the entire population had to wear a mask when they went out, all those asymptomatic carriers that are now transmitting it through respiratory droplets it would be much harder for them to transmit it."
We have drafted a detailed protocol for antigen expression and ELISA set-up for COVID19 serology. Download it her: https://t.co/R0AFZPNuTc. This can be used to set up ELISAs in research labs but also clinical labs. The vectors for expression can be requested from my lab.
Confirmed #COVID19 cases in the US are already more in line with Iran & Italy than Hong Kong & Singapore, where the governments were able to mobilize more quickly.
And the slow start of testing in the US is only going to exacerbate the situation.

Mr. President. Your complete lack of social distancing measures is putting the person we need the most right now, Dr. Tony Fauci, at risk of #COVID19. I urge you to start practicing social distancing now. No more handshakes, hugs or touching of any kind.
