This is what we’ve been using to help us make decisions on what we will and won’t be doing right now. No model is perfect, but this is the best I can find for now. @CovidActNow, data and predictions to help America reopen safely: covidactnow.org #COVIDActNow
I can see that in my county, cases are currently shrinking, which is good news! But I can also see that our test positivity rate is high enough that we can’t really trust that number yet, so for now we’re still staying inside. It’s helping me to stay realistic but hopeful 🤷🏻‍♀️💕 ImageImage
I found this post to be incredibly helpful, and informative, and hopeful. I love a clear way forward with lots of good explanations of why & how. Plus illustrations & gentle hope. 💙 ncase.me/covid-19/

Covid Act Now is releasing new modeling for 3 metrics critical to help America Reopen *Safely.*

📈COVID Case Growth
🧪Testing Capacity
🏥ICU Safety Margin

#ReopenSafely #CovidActNow #StayHome
Crucial Reopen Metric #1 = *Case Growth*

In order for a state to reopen safely, the number of #COVID cases should be decreasing.

That means the R-effective has to be less than 1.0
Crucial Reopen Metric #2 = *Testing Capacity*

In order for a state to reopen safely, we must test a sufficient % of the population.

➡️High % of ➕ tests = likely not testing very many people.
➡️Low % of ➕ tests = likely testing a wide swath of the population.

First they ignored it. Then they gave themselves trillions. Now they want to return everyone to work producing profits. It is time for the working class to intervene with its own program. It is time for socialism. #NotDyingForWallStreet #COVIDActNow #GeneralStrike
“The cure is worse than the disease.” In other words, the lives of millions of workers must be sacrificed in the interests of corporate profit. wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Wall Street is soaring this morning because investors are happy with the massive amounts of money they are getting and the signal that everyone will be forced back to work soon. #NotDyingForWallStreet

99% of my tweets are for educational purposes. Whenever I share knowledge with people I get some stupid comments and I know some of my followers hit the mute button. For the record you don't have to learn anything what I tweet. You decide not to educate yourself, you...

...aren't hurting me. You can continue to b*tch on Twitter why you are being suppressed by the very system you empower and keep voting to maintain the problem. You decide to stay ignorant you are only f*cking yourself.

If anyone can prove the knowledge I share on my timeline is false, let me know. I would like us to compare notes.

Thank you,

His name was Dennis Wilson. He was a retired school superintendent. He went to Urgent Care 3 times and was denied a test because he didn’t fit the “criteria.” The last time he went in an Ambulance. He died 5 days later because in Kansas sick people can’t get tested.

We hear these stories daily now.

Americans are dying because by the time they are tested , it’s too late to save them. If you or your family gets sick, you will likely not get a test. You won’t fit the #CDC guidelines. Isn’t it time to change the rules?
We know we are beyond guidelines. We have #CommunitySpread everywhere. Yet, we have few numbers to show because we don’t give the tests to know. What can we do? What can WE DO NOW to save lives? The talking points of POTUS today was save the economy.
Can we just save people 1st?

President Trump says he’s hesitant to put Defense Production Act into action because, even in time of a national crisis, he says there are consequences of “nationalization” #Coronavirus #CoronavirusUpdate #COVID19 Image
Pres. Trump made a reference to Venezuelan economy when talking about his hesitancy on Defense Production Act. If it were enacted in the US, however, it wouldn’t be permanent nationalization of any industry. #Coronavirus #CoronavirusUpdate Image
Interesting question from @markpmeredith to POTUS -Would he consider reaching out to Presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter for guidance? Pres. Trump said, in so many words, No. Image
