This project aims to create an online tool that will evaluate and rate content related to COVID19 on TWITTER using a curated list of academics, scientists, medics, public health professionals, organisations and their postings of published news websites and scientific journals.

Of course nobody in this age group is included in any of the #vaccine clinical trials, so far. The much-touted Moderna #coronavirus Phase 2 trial? ALL subjects were under 35 yrs old, healthy, slim and only 3 were nonwhite.

Just out @ScienceMagazine: the importance of coordinated strategies in Europe for #COVID19 suppression, using mobility data

"a resurgent continental epidemic could occur as many as 5 weeks earlier when...end their interventions prematurely"
Sound familiar?

More evidence of #Trump admin war on the @CDCgov public health expertise in the #COVID19 crisis....

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

We are all upset about the CDC hospital data going missing (especially @DrTomFrieden @rypan).

➡️ But good news—all is not lost. Our trusty @JohnsHopkins #COVID19 dashboard since January sources hospital data directly from states! Thankful, this JHU ‘04. https://t.co/rO7C0c1f41

@EricTopol @COVID19Tracking That's true for the United States as a whole, a collection of outbreaks.

Why do you think it has NOT been true in California, where #covid19 cases rose for 10-12 weeks before a rise in deaths was seen?

[صدقة جارية @eyelashe1]

@EricTopol @COVID19Tracking Scientifically literate know people this is dishonest discourse. Compare New York Cases (large dots) and deaths (small dots) to Arizona and Florida. Notice the scale of the death differences.

Something is going on but you don't know what it is.

.@BetsyDeVosED told @marthamaccallum "kids might even be stoppers of the virus"

This S.Korea study published by @CDCgov follows thousands COVID+ cases. Of all age groups, 10-19 yr olds were MOST likely to pass virus to a member of their household

The dexamethasone #recoverytrial, showing survival advantage for severe #COVID19, was just published in @NEJM, with an accompanying editorial by Tony Fauci and Clifford Lane @NIAIDNews

National Research Development Corporation, under @IndiaDST, has entered into an agreement with M/s Paulmech Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, Kolkata, to transfer two #COVID19 control technologies developed by S N Bose National Centre For Basic Sciences, Kolkata.

#COVID19 presser starts with @drtedros pointing to France and Spain: "Both countries are good examples of the four essential pillars of the response:
strong and humble leadership community engagement
suppressing transmission and
saving lives.”
(US failing at 1st hurdle here)

Media briefing on #COVID19 with @DrTedros https://t.co/OrdxjtqQLG

[Kai Kupferschmidt @kakape]

Thought I’d use this Friday afternoon while I wait for the @WHO presser to start to highlight a few articles on #covid19 from the last few days that enlightened and impressed me and that I think you should read:

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Excellent new article in @TheLancet shares some performance indicators all countries should focus on as they respond to Covid. https://t.co/qZmM4Gxcxf

[Chatham House Global Health Programme @CHGlobalHealth]

💬Due to the recovery trial in the 🇬🇧 and @NIH funded one in the 🇺🇸we know:
1⃣Remdesivir, drug, shortens hospital stay
2⃣Dexamethasone causes 30% reduction mortality, it's cheap and widely available
3⃣Hydroxy Chloroquine do not work as treatments

As predicted and replicated, it takes about 3 weeks from when new covid cases spike to the time an increase in deaths are seen. A graph I made from @COVID19Tracking data to show the lag

[Ash Paul @pash22]

Have deaths from COVID-19 in Europe plateaued due to herd immunity?

[Scott Gottlieb, MD 🇺🇸 @ScottGottliebMD]

Now that we’re no longer deliberately sheltering kids from Covid as camps and other venues reopen, infection rates among kids are rising. Proof of increasing infections among kids should inform the steps we take this fall to prevent outbreaks in schools. https://t.co/2nDClpLgno

"It's likely that any #vaccine isn't going to give full protection for life."

John Edmunds tells @jonsnowC4 that the world may face recurring #COVID19 epidemics "for a very long time."
