Today's #ArabianStorms thread took a bit of a detour into looking at today's fatal floods in #Benelux and #Germany, and the causes for the weather pattern that brought them.
Turns out that a #WestAfricaWaterPlume is involved. When it comes to weather we are #AllInThisTogether.

Here we see satellite images for the three days leading up to this. And a close look at this satellite imagery [@zoom_earth] suggests that the the persistence of the storm, which is far from over, is due to it being mainlined tropical water from the West Africa Monsoon.

We searched social media posts of 20 big brands, 5 in each of 4 categories: confectionery, snacks, sugary drinks and fastfood. Across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube from Feb-May 2020 pre-pandemic and then in Level 4, 3 and 2 Covid Alert Levels. 2/8
There were 1,368 posts, 27% related to Covid-19. Fast-food companies were the most likely to reference the pandemic, with a rapid increase in their number of social media posts just prior to the end of Level 4 restrictions. 3/8

2. Relying on hospitals to "save the day" wrt IPAC, staffing & resources is an impossible task if in a hot zone, when also trying to continue to provide acute & chronic care services. We already knew that #onhealth added 80+ wks to wait lists just from 1st few mos of lockdown 2/
1/4 During the months of restrictions, schools, workplaces, businesses and other public settings modified spaces and implemented protocols and policies to reduce the risk of #COVID19 spreading. #COVIDLife #COVIDLiving
2/4 As individual Canadians, we likewise modified our behaviours and became adept at practicing personal protective measures including #PhysicalDistancing, good #HandHygiene, #CoughEtiquette & #MaskOn where appropriate.
3/4 The challenge now is to stay the course, no matter how weary we may feel, because #PublicHealth efforts are not enough on their own; keeping #COVID19 at manageable levels in #Canada DEPENDS ON ALL OF US. #SlowBurn #AllinThisTogether
1/9 So how do we know we are testing enough? One way is to monitor the % of positive tests among all of the #COVID19 tests conducted over the course of a week.
2/9 A high % positive, indicates that we may not be testing enough to detect all the cases. We want to cast our net wide around where the virus is spreading.
3/9 We aim for a low percentage positive, below 10%, which is an international benchmark. This indicates we are casting our net wide enough to capture any cases that may be occurring in the area.
1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: This long weekend, in lieu of daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Monday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 As the #LongWeekend comes to an end, I am instilled with confidence that Canadians are committed to taking care of themselves & others, by integrating #COVID19 public health advice for modified seasonal traditions. #AllInThisTogether
3/5 To maintain our progress we need ongoing vigilance with our #COVID19 public health practices of #PhysicalDistancing 2-metres, #handwashing often,
avoiding high touch surfaces/objects, #CoughEtiquette & #StayHomeIfSick.

2/5 #COVID19 & #publichealth measures to #SlowtheSpread have brought significant challenges to Canadians. This Victoria Day #LongWeekend, many are venturing out to enjoy the warmer weather & amenities that are now opening up.
3/5 Careful reopening is thanks to the great progress Canadians have made to #PlanktheCurve. As we continue to descend the tricky path down the curve w\ #COVID19 still circulating in areas of 🇨🇦, keep on planking it with #goodhygiene. #OutSmartEpidemics

Radiation is not visible to the human eye and neither is Coronavirus.
The size of the virus is about 0.1 um, smaller than a red blood cell and even some bacteria
Both can have devastating effects , if we do not protect ourselves

#Covid_19 can be transmitted by droplets >5 µm which can quickly form aerosols ≤5 µm.
Besides the well-known transmission by coughing and sneezing, the virus can be transmitted even during SPEECH….in fact the louder you speak, more are chances of transmission..

✊🧵🚨SOLIDARITY THREAD ALERT🚨🧵✊Employers that pay low-wages have left too many Ohioans without enough financial cushion to survive a period of unemployment. We need policymakers to step up and prove we’re really #AllInThisTogether.

In honor of #InternationalWorkersDay & #MayDay -- and because Ohio's working people need action *now* -- we released our report on four essential policies to sustain Ohio workers. You can read it in full here:

Yesterday our #COVID-19 serology task force @MGHPathology hosted a meeting with labs around the country/world to share our results and to openly share ideas about platforms, validations, policy & implementation in our institutes & communities

We were joined by nearly 100 colleagues from >15 institutions – Mayo, Yale, Penn, BI, BCH, NYU, Mt. Sinai and others with of course many critical clinical colleagues from @MGHpathology and @MGHMedicine. It’s clear there are lots of smart people working on these needed tests!
In the spirit of #openscience and working together against #COVID-19, we are sharing our early results with hopes they help others rapidly role out assays in their own hospitals. We now have 2 assays we are confident in at MGH – a Point-of-Care Test and an ELISA. 1st – the POCT:

#RM_Ott19 last panel @research_money on whole-of-govt initiatives to support #innovation. Moderated by @ChristineTrautt @CollegeCan, w/ Rob Wright ADM of @PSPC_SPAC, Wayne Moore @DFO_MPO, @NancyHamzawi ADM @environmentca, Andrea Johnston @ISED_CA, Gilles Saindon @AAFC_Canada
#RM_Ott19 RW says @PSPC_SPAC is looking beyond the usual vertical approach of governments, taking a more partnership view to drive success. WM @DFO_Science adds that bar has been set high for collab across departments, to get other ministers' / ADM's input and advice
#TeamPatriot has been painting a picture for about 2+ years that is now a reality. Before it may've been murky to those who aren't in the CIA, FBI, DOJ, or intelligence. Now, it's crystal clear ... even to regular Americans like me. /1
Russia had a multi-prong approach to infiltrate the election and spread propaganda. And they've been doing this a while. They sough to impact information, using Facebook and other social media. /2 vanityfair.com/news/2017/09/z…
They used "legitimate" news organizations, such as Fox News -- Sean Hannity -- and other journalists, not just Wikileaks. They even coordinated messaging among legit news and social media. /3 motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
