In outbreaks of other #coronaviruses (MERS & SARS), person-to-person transmission occurred through droplets, contact and fomites, suggesting that the transmission mode of the 2019-nCoV can be similar

WHO Situation Report 27 January 2020 bit.ly/2U0II9K
@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @pahowho @WHO_Europe @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO Important perspective from today's #coronavirus report:

Of the 2,798 confirmed cases reported to @WHO so far, 98% are in China.

Of the 37 cases outside China, 36 had travel history to Wuhan or other cities in China.

👉bit.ly/2U0II9K
@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @pahowho @WHO_Europe @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO So far, WHO is aware of one case of human-to-human transmission of #coronavirus outside 🇨🇳, in Vietnam.

That’s still one case too many. But we’re encouraged that so far we have not seen more human-to-human transmission outside 🇨🇳. We’re monitoring the outbreak constantly.

V. thought provoking seminar today @TRI_info by Prof John Huss entitled ‘Ecological medicine & medical ecology’. Discussed were ecological strategies for #coral remediation and the #microbiome. But more interesting was unpacking the #philosophy of biological research!.... (1/12)
The field of microbiome #research is still very young, and it’s hard to get a handle on what is established and where exactly the field will progress (2/12)
However, there seem to be two different concepts thrown around when people talk about the microbiome:
a) Micro-biome: a biome of microbes, an ecological conception.
b) Microbi-ome: the microbial genome, a molecular conception.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
