We provide normalized comparisons so everyone can see how their state and federal governments' handling of COVID-19 compares.
South Korea was hit earlier.
Spain was hit harder
Thailand and Japan learned and were hit less.

Thailand and South Korea are examples of good responses.

If new case rates are dropping, it's in the green zone. Rising, red zone.
Stay deep in the green as long as possible = win.

They got their new case rates into the green zone and kept them there. You can see from the hills and valleys it wasn't always easy.

The ascending May 6th log US fatality curves
Dr. Fauci, in an interview on @ABC, says "We need to be careful that we don't talk about America in totality" when we talk about re-opening the country "because there are so many levels of outbreak."
Dr. Fauci tells @DavidMuir that "there are so many areas of the country that are more attuned to get ready for a return to normality than others." He says it will be a "rolling re-entry," "not like a light switch going on."

Dr. Fauci says "we need to have contact tracing IMMEDIATELY after identifying an infected person, not many many days after."

If people could avoid hospital and the #ICU then there would be no need for a quarantine because it would make #CoVid_19 no more dangerous than a cold. Why are patients STILL set up for failure? Why do you still need to have one foot in the grave before you can get tested?
They say that there are no treatments, but maybe that’s because they are only treating people 10 days post infection. There is no prophylactic or protocol that’s been shown to be preventive but many people are taking natural products that may or may not prevent hospital stays.
With all the money being thrown at drug development that will takes more than a year to prove safe, why aren’t there clinical trials of existing natural products that have been proven safe over decades of use?

In Philadelphia the number of cases is NOT being reported accurately and any day now there is going to be an explosion of numbers. Test results are too slow and death certificates are not necessarily being issued as #COVID19, but respiratory and/or heart failure, pneumonia.
Plus, last week I discovered while researching a story that the majority of deaths here--nearly two-thirds--are POC. Getting data from communities of color and testing in those communities is slower. But that stat is not being reported.

Here are today's numbers for the tri-state:
PA: 11,150 cases, 150 deaths (far too low)
NJ: 37,505 cases, 917 deaths (also low)
DE: 673 cases, 14 deaths (seems low)

Novartis is a multinational pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland. By both market capitalization and sales it is one of the largest such companies in the world.

Donald Trump has been blatantly touting hydroxychloroquine & chloroquine without any supporting scientific evidence.
Today, despite Norvartis offering to donate 130 million doses, Trump announced an additional distribution of 29 million doses.

Listening to these stories of people dying from their loved ones is just gutting.
@ErinBurnett is one of the toughest reporters in the business and she is crying on screen from her guest's story. And I am just sobbing.
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST STAY INSIDE? WHY?

I'm sure Burnett saw herself in this woman--they are the same age, both mothers of three. There was no reason for this 42 year old teacher to have died and left his wife a widow and his kids fatherless. This virus is just crushing so many families.

There is going to be so much resentment building across the country as more people die. It will be natural to blame those who refused to stay inside for our loved ones' sickness and/or death. Everyone is a carrier unless proven otherwise.

From NJ, @PhilMurphyNJ is expressing his frustration that folks keep demanding why NJ/US is not SK. Not meaningful when compliance is still such an issue. "The need for compliance," is critical. Murphy says he talked with Dr. Fauci last night. Said he was "extremely helpful."
Murphy says he appreciates everyone who is "being non-partisan" and putting people over politics.
Murphy also says he hopes folks applying for unemployment that they processed 35k cases Thursday and to try to be patient, it's gonna happen, including extra $600, it will go thru.

OK! @ErinMcCreary and I have been giving weekly #COVIDー19 updates to the entirety of @UPMCnews. Until I figure out whether or not I can post the recording, here is a synopsis (thread follows). @IDPittStop @IDPittStop
Fever (defined as > 38C or > 100.4 F) in #COVIDー19 only happens in about HALF of cases. Do not rely on fever to rule #coronavirus in or out. The “more than 90 percent” data come from the papers from China, which defined fever as > 37.3—it’s in the methods!
Most (80% or so) have non-severe disease. Older patients are more likely to have severe disease. There's all this chatter about "comorbidities" (high blood pressure etc) being associated with severe disease, but tbh I wonder if this is just a signal of advanced age.
📌So get this, folks: I am a month behind on my mortgage and they just sent someone TO MY HOUSE to talk to me about my mortgage. Let me just add to this that I live in a POOR BLACK neighborhood. So you know they ASSUME I am black.
This AFTER the bill was signed yesterday.

How many other folks got a visit? When our city is on freaking lock down? Are you kidding me? Like I would expose my family to a stranger during a pandemic? The plan is to threaten black homeowners in poor neighborhoods.

The more I think about this, the angrier I am. This person could have put my whole family at risk. They are not doing an essential service, either, so they are putting lives at risk.
In light of the life-threatening, national PPE shortage, my team and I built a Plexiglas Droplet Barrier for COVID-19 testing. No health care worker should test patients without protection. We hope that this barrier will allow our staff to test patients safely
in our outpatient clinics while preserving our scarce PPE (masks, face shields, and gowns). This droplet barrier is hand-crafted and inspired by necessity. The total build time was less than one hour. Disclaimer: I hope this video sparks innovative thinking
about our public health crisis. I am a general pediatrician, not an Infection Control specialist. Use and share this video at your own risk. These are times when hope and ideas should be shared. Good luck to my healthcare colleagues around the world.

Amazing. @cvspharmacy @CVSHealth @LarryMerloCVS They have little regard for their employees health, & safety. They haven’t provided #PPE, & according to CVS, even if an employee has @Coronavirus, but as long as they didn’t show symptoms, no deep cleaning of store. 1/4
Meanwhile, we know #COVID19US is highly infectious regardless of symptoms. So as the company is going to make record profits over #COVID19, they have not taken any action to reduce risk to staff or the customer. 2/4
Pharmacists and techs are given Wipes and hand sanitizer. This constitutes unacceptable working conditions for pharmacists, who work long hours w/no breaks, & their staff who are underpaid, all are exhausted. #CVS should be held accountable, as they will be making record 3/4

Your immune system and behavior not only affect you – they play a vital role in making sure our entire species is able to successfully battle this virus and minimize the number of deaths, because you are a potential vector for transmission. (2/11)
If you've been thinking you need to stop your heavy use of a substance, now is a critical time to claim your birthright as a human and gain full agency over your choices. Regardless of your use level, here're some pointers regarding substance use during this pandemic: (3/11)

Thread on some ED Doc's thoughts on dealing with #COVID19US on frontlines
1/ First PPE: At this point, everyone should be wearing a surgical mask at your desk and in ED. No eating or drinking unless in Staff lounge, away from patient care
2/ When going into a potential #Covid19 room, wear a N-95 if you have it. Put a surgical (eg. regular) mask over it to protect it, then wear a face shield over that. Googles not as good, but we'll take what we can get.

There are extended recovery efforts, but aside from wildfires & maybe Midwest floods, we don’t have a lot of incidents that require a constant & immediate response over weeks or months. 2/
As we head into the #COVID19US outbreak, there are many in critical roles who will be working with a response mindset for much longer than they ever have before. Long-term incidents demand a different perspective for both personal well-being & organizational success. 3/
