I've reported on the ground from many epidemics, but this is the first one I'm really living through. A 🧵 of memories to follow...

For me, this got real when I met @HelenChuMD in Seattle on March 1 2020 -- Day Zero in the US. nature.com/articles/d4158…
That month, my stories documented my disbelief. How big was the underground US outbreak? nature.com/articles/d4158… Where was contact-tracing? nature.com/articles/d4158… And WTF! Labs had thousands of tests going unused because of a lack of a national strategy. nature.com/articles/d4158…
In contrast to the US, many low income countries were scaling up tests, building isolation centers, & enforcing quarantines BEFORE THEY EVEN HAD A HANDFUL OF CASES.

They don't have the luxury of relying on hospitals to care for floods of patients. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Getting dressed to visit San Quentin prison is no joke. Image
Update: I was initially turned away because my purple sweater looked too blue. Luckily, my escort had extra clothes for me. #SanQuentin
@JuliaAngwin Teaching prisoners at San Quentin about my work on criminal risk scores was incredible. Thank you Prison University Project! Image
