A few coronavirus tips from me—instead of hoarding bleach wipes, organize a meeting with your neighbors. curbed.com/2020/3/3/21157…
Everything I learned about disaster preparedness I learned from interviewing @DrLucyJones—her book on how societies recover from catastrophic events is a must-read. curbed.com/2020/3/3/21157… Image
@DrLucyJones If you're in LA, the @ReadyLA program will send emergency managers like @k8hutton to your block to help you make a plan. I cannot recommend it enough—it's completely changed the way I think about our neighborhood.

@DrLucyJones @ReadyLA @k8hutton Also please do read the other coronavirus pieces I quote in my story for examples of preparing in a way that's civic-minded, compassionate, and rational. curbed.com/2020/3/3/21157……

@DrLucyJones @ReadyLA @k8hutton @zeynep @Annaleen And if you're looking for something to watch while you're at home, I recommend @CookedTheFilm, based on the excellent book on Chicago's 1995 heat wave by @EricKlinenberg about how important social structures are for surviving disasters. curbed.com/2020/3/3/21157… Image

Good to see SB50-shelving Portantino is getting state money to bring a tech hub to his district. So where will all those tech workers live? What will happen to the people who live there now? latimes.com/socal/glendale…
Also nice to see him taking credit for the Glendale Narrows bridge without ever mentioning the $20 million that @laurafriedman43 got which made the whole project possible a43.asmdc.org/press-releases…
Let's get more people to work in Glendale but make them commute two hours each way, it worked out great for Silicon Valley!

This morning, LA County's Board of Supervisors will vote on a new building for LACMA. @LangeAlexandra and I walked the campus discussing the role of museums in cities, the controversy surrounding the design, and how the new LACMA must meet the street. la.curbed.com/2019/4/8/18300…
When LACMA revealed the original Peter Zumthor design back in 2013, the museum planned a huge exhibition featuring a detailed architectural model and additional context for the design that was publicly displayed for months. la.curbed.com/2013/6/6/10235…
Since then, the design has undergone at least four revisions, with major changes to the size, shape, color, form, materials, and even the location of the building. la.curbed.com/2019/3/25/1828…

🔥@BrianKarem:”With so few (#coronavirus) tests being done and the incubation rate being as much as 2 weeks, how can we accurately say that the risk is low, at this point?”

Pence:😳

More on Pence/Trump’s inept response to #COVID19 with quotes from me.👇🏼
playboy.com/read/karem-cor…
“Dr. Grayson...has overseen the development of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs against deadly viruses. She believes the Trump administration has badly fumbled its attempts to contain #COVID19: ‘We are behind the eight ball...This checks all the boxes for a global #pandemic’.”
“The government’s response to #COVID19 is ‘totally catastrophic. A total #fail’.” ~me, quoted in this blistering piece about #coronavirus task force “leader” Mike Pence’s disastrous press briefing on our nation’s response to the #CoronavirusOutbreak.

New #Coronavirus thread. Tagging someone in this tweet makes me paranoid I ruined it.

The old thread is here though
Here's what the #Coronavirus hospital looks like, 4 days of construction later. They're working as fast as they can but is it too late, regardless?
