Many things to love about this!

Not tolerating the interviewer's bully tactics!
Great point on not allowing the rest of the world to develop as well. Could it be that the entire environmental movement is a positioning to keep other nations in check. A modern twist on colonialism

This is awesome.

@ColtKnost I remember hearing that statement "pgatour" and wondering what about DJ and Brooksie? The LIV thing just looks extremely petty at this point.

It’s hard to understand how much better nuclear power is, because the human mind has a hard time understanding EXPONENTS.

It’s not 2x better. It’s not 20x better, it’s not even 200x better.

It is literally over one million times better.

Think about that. If you can.

@michaelmina_lab Your explanation is such an impotent point that needs to be understood about being introduced to a virus for the first time.

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

IMPORTANT:

RAPID TESTS DO WORK WITH OMICRON

"But why are some people staying negative in the first days they have symptoms??"

This is expected. Symptoms don't = contagious virus
This is literally a reflection of the fact that vaccines are doing their job!

The right solution is expensive.
The wrong one costs a fortune.

@EricTopol @youyanggu @Medscape @youyanggu has been a pointer to looking for accuracy and guidance for many teams during the past year. Glad to see him getting more recognition from a community that does not always embrace new voices challenging long held perspectives.

Worth the long read!

Short thread:

Cases are starting to plummet quickly.

This isn’t from vaccines (yet).

Possible we may be starting see a combination of seasonality on our side and likely seeing herd effects kick in.

To detect #COVID19 before it spreads to others, we need frequent accessible testing.

We cannot detect pre/asymptomatic people before they spread if we do not test frequently.

Smart people are the ones who ask the most thoughtful questions, as opposed to thinking they have all the answers. Great questions are a much better indicator of future success than great answers. #principleoftheday
