More than 200 scientists have outlined evidence that they say shows the novel coronavirus can spread in tiny airborne particles, urging the @WHO to update its guidance. Read our story on what we know so far about airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2. https://t.co/903llcCp7A

Wear a covering over your mouth and nose.

Wash your hands for 20 seconds.

Maintain at least 6 feet of distance from members outside of your immediate household.

For those who are interested in research-based solutions to stop police violence, here’s what you need to know - based on the facts and data. A thread. (1/x)

We have many months of uncertainty ahead of us, and this thread speaks thoughtfully to what that may look like.

The number one question asked these days is, "What's going to happen now that cities / states are reopening?" The tough thing is that "re-opening" means so many things. A few thoughts.

[Wisconsin Science @wisconsin_sci]

Using a cloth face cover is preferable because that allows more surgical masks and respirators to be used by health care providers and other first responders.

Helpful study tracing 2761 close contacts of 100 confirmed cases of #COVID19

1. 0 transmission to close contacts after 5 days of symptoms in index case

2. Highest risk of transmission to family and household members

3. Pre-symptomatic exposures at risk

Building the COVID-19 prediction models arose out of Oguzhan Alagoz’s desire to provide decision-makers with another data-based option. He says the work has been among the most challenging experiences of his career. https://t.co/OfYnNLELMH

Last week, 39k kids played our learning games. Even as the world is on lockdown, games are providing a playful way to go deep with content from @UWMadison's @UWMRSEC @UWMadEducation @uw_icecube @uwzavalab @UWMadEngr. We want to work with your lab next! See https://t.co/v5FfvMc3do

The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene’s #COVID19 virus testing team and essential workers around the world have a very important request for you:

"We stay at work for you. Please stay at home for us."

[UW–Madison @UWMadison]

Urgent: @UHSMadison has received reports of students returning from spring break who have tested positive for #COVID19.

If you traveled for spring break, whether or not you have symptoms, it is *imperative* that you observe a 14-day self-quarantine. https://t.co/8dI4sNp6Lg

This is @gehealthcare engineer Tyler, a guru in ventilator valves. When he heard about the shortage, he & his family drove from Salt Lake City back to the plant in Madison WI in a day, through a snowstorm. Today he’s hard at work, making ventilators to support clinicians #COVID19

.@NOAA released the Spring Outlook last week discussing temperature, precipitation and flooding trends expected during the upcoming season. Widespread flooding is predicted this spring, but not as severe or prolonged as the historic floods in 2019.
