President Trump has said the growing number of coronavirus cases is due to increased testing. But our analysis shows the rise in cases far outpaces the growth in testing.

Testing has grown 80% since early June. Daily case counts have grown 215%. https://t.co/dpfN0bbwXG

Let's make it clear: There is no United States of America for the #coronavirus, because the government decided not to regulate it federally.

Each state is on its own.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If scientists publish brilliant papers nobody understands, did they do their job?

Around 60% of countries now require public mask usage.

Countries representing 85% of the world's population either require public mask usage or mask-wearing is nearly universal.

The US is not part of those countries.

When I said that the US is having one Wuhan a day (50k/day #coronavirus cases in the US vs. 50k for all time in Wuhan), many people responded: "You can't trust the Chinese numbers."

There are so many layers to that answer that it's worth deconstructing. Thread [1/23]

The United States and Brazil account for about 40% of the world's 9.8 million Covid-19 cases. Each country will add more than 40,000 cases today.

In Germany today, there were 513 new cases.

In Japan today, there were fewer than 100 new cases.

Leadership and policy matter.

You think you're young, so you're safe from the #coronavirus?

What about lung scarring for life?

It might happen to up to a third of ppl who contract it.
95% of asymptomatic cases have opacities in their lungs.

SCOOP: Remember that drone in Minneapolis? It was part of a nationwide operation that sent helicopters, airplanes and drones over 15 cities where demonstrators gathered to protest the death of George Floyd, logging at least 270 hours of surveillance.

Being a scientist is not a private club for those with a PhD or who work in academia.

A scientist is a person who observes the world, makes a hypothesis about how it works, and looks at data to objectively confirm or deny the hypothesis.

Anybody can be a scientist.

Stunning: More than 20% of Arizona's COVID tests reported today came back positive.

New York is down to around 1%.

Very excited to share this piece I’ve been working on for months. It’s about a new hip hop movement in Tulsa that’s rebuilding Black Wall Street and commemorating the massacre. And taking over the mansion of a famous Tulsa Klansman in the process https://t.co/MEnqKEuwRx
