Have a background in bioinformatics/genomics? @UWVirology is looking to hire an intern to assist with data analysis and data management for our #SARSCoV2 #HCoV19 sequencing team. Full time and looking for someone who can start right away. (Thx @nextstrain for the screenshot).

.@RichardEngel: "This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus. It doesn't speak Chinese. It doesn't target Chinese people. It targets human beings who happen to touch their eyes, nose or mouth."

@obigriffith Get well soon! Your family and Alex’s family too. Indeed we need expanding the text capacity. But the bottleneck is also nasal swabbing which requires PPE. We can’t let our health care workers go to fight COVID-19 without PPE! It’s sad to read about nurses making face shield..

[Jonathan H Chen MD PhD @jonc101x]

Higher co-infection rates (>20%) in COVID19 at Stanford med. Can't rely on stepwise triage algorithm. (E.g., Patient RSV or Flu+, enough chance of COVID19 that you can't rule it out) https://t.co/gwIMyvKeh4

Deep respect and gratitude from @AMPath to @RandPaul for supporting legislation which recognizes the excellence of #pathologists in CLIA-accredited medical labs to respond rapidly & flexibly with highest quality diagnostic testing for patients #COVID19

[Masumi Ueda Oshima, MD MA @masumi_ueda]

Such a privilege to work with this incredible group, and I hope that our experience will be helpful to other cancer centers. @PergamIC @SeattleCCA @fredhutch @JNCCN

Hope this comparison study is helpful to clinical labs planning to validate NGS assay for RNA fusions. | Home https://t.co/YENzVvPiiX

UW Medicine and the entire community are working around the clock to fight the spread of Coronavirus.

Please show your love by sharing a message to them in the replies. Your support means a lot. #WeGotThisSeattle

@UWMedicine @mshadman Kudos to my beloved colleagues at UW Medical Center! You are the best!!!

[Trevor Bedford @trvrb]

A small update on genomic epidemiology of the #COVID19 epidemic in Washington State (where we have lots of data) and elsewhere in the US (where data is sparse). 1/8

[Min Fang @MinFang17]

@JohnLynchID @PergamIC I got the experience of 24hr TAT to the minute from nasal swab to email result notification. Outstanding job of @UW Virology! So proud of this organization!

[UW Division of Infectious Disease Diagnostics @UWDIDD]

Over 1300 #SARSCoV2 #CoronavirusUSA #HCoV19 tests completed 3/11 by @UWVirology @UWMedicine, about 9% positive. Many tests were for patients in other parts of the US lacking access to testing. We have capacity for more. Order info here https://t.co/vbIsdTp2ny. #WhereAreTheTests

Everyone needs to take a look at this chart and understand the importance of social distancing.

[Trevor Bedford @trvrb]

Work by colleagues at @IDMOD_ORG that takes current best estimate for number of active #COVID19 infections and simulates forward under different degrees of social distancing. A 25% reduction in mixing results in more than a 50% drop in cases after 1 month relative to baseline.

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

It appears we are a week or so behind Italy. A ban on flights from Europe isn’t going to change that. More decisive federal action — massive testing and social distancing — appears to be necessary to “flatten the curve.”

"It's a game changer.....Previously when we would send those tests to the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] in Atlanta it was taking three to five days to get those tests back." #COVID19 #coronavirus #molpath https://t.co/jRfsNAGL9a

[Bloom Lab @jbloom_lab]

Proud to work @fredhutch, where we're taking proactive measures to ameliorate #COVID19 spread as much as possible. Other employers / institutions take note! (Yes, we can still work in lab, but no meetings / seminars / travel and work at home when you can)

[Fred Hutch Cancer Center @fredhutch]

Fred Hutch researchers are an important part of the international scientific response for #COVID19. @trvrb, @betzhallo, @PergamIC & more are tracking the virus' spread, developing diagnostics & preparing Fred Hutch for the disease's potential spread.
