The @CDCgov's latest guidance for healthcare professionals evaluating potential #Coronavirus:
👉🏼cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Ask about recent travel to china, contact with ill, fever, cough, shortness of breath (see CDC site for details) #nCoV2019 #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #smEM Image
@CDCgov 😱"aside from being infected with #2019nCoV,
also infected with #Influenza B virus
& #Strep pneumoniae bacteria…"

"In contrast, partner only mild cough"

cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/2/2/…

seems like comorbidities & coinfections affect severity of #Coronarivus #Flu #Pneumonia 😷🧤
@CDCgov The medical journal @TheLancet is sharing all their #Coronavirus articles & resources for free on this page: thelancet.com/coronavirus #2019nCoV

@CDCgov @TheLancet ~70 orgs globally, including medical journals @TheLancet @ElsevierConnect @JAMA_current @NEJM commit to sharing all relevant data on #2019nCoV #Coronavirus fully, freely, immediately:
wellcome.ac.uk/press-release/…

Global solidarity @WHO & #China. #HCSM #MedTwitter
MT @richardhorton1
@CDCgov @TheLancet @ElsevierConnect @JAMA_current @NEJM @WHO @richardhorton1 # of people with #2019nCoV #Coronavirus is likely MUCH higher than official reports:
not everyone hospitalized or tested.

When hospitals are full or illness not severe, people stay home translate.google.com/translate?sl=z… via @balajis

This impacts outbreak projections & containment plans
@CDCgov @TheLancet @ElsevierConnect @JAMA_current @NEJM @WHO @richardhorton1 @balajis #Coronavirus: sad but important read translate.google.com/translate?sl=z… via
@balajis

Some issues that come to mind:
Ethics
Suffering
Life & Death
Trauma, PTSD
Loss, grief, sorrow
Frustration, desperation
Health professionals overwhelmed
Lacking homecare, selfare, telecare infrastructure Image
@CDCgov @TheLancet @ElsevierConnect @JAMA_current @NEJM @WHO @richardhorton1 @balajis #Coronavirus MUCH WORSE than officially reported.
Mr L's dad went to 6 hospitals & 7 days before tested. Those who get diagnosed & treated are lucky… many die at home

🤔My friends & I been wondering if #coronavirus #COVID19 already in U.S. during January's #CES & #JPM huge international confs (& they often visit SF/SV+SEA)

Anecdotally in Dec-Jan MANY colleagues had "unusual cold" etc.

@skarlamangla cc @trvrb @balajis
I wish there is mass-available IgM & IgG #antibodies test to see who already infected with #COVID19 #coronavirus

Sooo many middle-aged #health buffs I know "had really bad or unusual cold" this winter (& neg strep/flu).

@yaneerbaryam @DrEricDing @trvrb
Good read from Dr @Farzad_MD regarding possibility that #COVID19 may already be widespread in communities

(Farzad,chk out my 2 tweets above. My human ML detected unusual pattern this winter. Would be good to know who's immune so can work at front lines)👩🏼‍⚕️

Why are many people worried about the new #coronavirus, when the regular flu kills tens of thousands a year?

The concern is that it could be something like the 1918 influenza pandemic (aka the “Spanish Flu”).

It's the huge spike on this chart of US mortality rates:
The 1918 flu is estimated to have ultimately infected over 500 million people—almost a third of the world's population at the time—and killed an estimated 50 million. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Of course, #COVID19 is nowhere near that bad yet. The concern is that (a) it's spreading rapidly, and that (b) it may have a high case-fatality rate.

I am *not an expert* on these matters, and our knowledge on this is evolving rapidly, but here's what I understand so far:

Latest on #coronavirus , a short thread:

"'It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question of when this will happen,' said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases..."
"She said that public health officials have no idea whether the spread of [COVID-19] to the United States would be mild or severe, but that Americans should be ready for a significant disruption to their daily lives..."
"'We are asking the American public to prepare for the expectation that this might be bad,' Dr. Messonnier said..."

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

2) Whoa- the rate of increase ***outside of China*** is steeper than inside of China or Wuhan! Figure 1A. From: @TheLancet “Nowcasting and forecasting the potential domestic and international spread of 2019-nCoV bit.ly/2GF6gZP”)
3) “An estimated 75815 individuals have been infected in Wuhan” —> this is substantially higher than current reports or ~10k reports by China 🇨🇳 media. (75k estimate from above Lancet article)

NEW! 🎉 Still can't believe it, but I got to work with the New York Times to create a #DataViz for their Opinion section!! *happy dance*

Read about the insane amount of digital trackers you gather when you browse, well, anywhere...
nytimes.com/interactive/20… @nytopinion
@nytopinion And to make it even more amazing than _just_ getting to work with the NYT. This Sunday the #dataviz will be featured in a full spread (! O.O) in the printed NYT! 🎉 *overflowing with excitement* (in a differently shaped swirl customized to fit the page too)
Can't wait to see it!
Actually, I've manually created 4 different swirls to place the websites along! It all depends on screen width :)

Using @affinitybyserif Designer on my iPad + apple pen, I could easily draw out a natural shape by hand -> adjust -> export to SVG -> use in JS + D3 program.
