BREAKING SCOOP🚨(Amazon Seattle): Internal Amazon HQ memo notified that an employee tested positive for #COVID19 in large main building of Amazon Brazil (400 9th Ave N, Seattle, WA) which houses a few thousand Amazon workers. Feb 25 illness onset. Memo confirmed as authentic.
2) Confirmed also via other sources. “The employee went home feeling unwell on Tuesday, February 25 and has not entered Amazon offices since then,". The company said they were informed that the employee tested positive for #COVID19 - on March 3.” apple.news/AVDT2W1EGQj6jL…
3) Amazon does have many offices. This occurred in the offices of the Amazon Brazil division (which includes @amazonprimenow and @AmazonFresh). I meant “hq” in the sense that it was an official company email from Amazon main office to all Seattle area workers.
4) Recommend that @amazon tests everyone on same floor as employee in Brazil, as well as anyone in contact w/ patient week prior to Feb 25th. At least good the employee didn’t return to work after 25th. But remember asymptomatic transmission. @AmazonFresh @amazonprimenow #COVID19

THIS. IS. ABSOLUTELY. LUDICROUS. How does a top official (the ASH is ranked ~3 at HHS) have the gall to say best estimate of CFR is 0.1-1%??? WHO even said it’s 3.4% this week, others say 1-2.5%. S.Korea is ~0.6% but cases very new- #COVID19 has up to 6 weeks horizon from onset.
2) here is the CFR graph from past WHO report. Also, others agree the ASH’s statement above is bonkers. #COVID19.
3) A reason you can’t rely on a back-of-napkin calculation of S Korea or any new epidemic area is because the cases are relatively new, and haven’t had full amount of time to resolve to either dead or recovered in each cohort. Unresolved cases means CFR not reliable yet. #COVID19

Shots fired- WHO Dr Tedros calls out leadership in certain countries of not seriously taking #COVID19 threat. Gee, wonder who he means? Maybe a president who just told people it’s okay to goto work with the #coronavirus yesterday on national TV? (Not partisan- just public health)
2) Here is actual video. Trump first said “corona flu” is not a big deal; it’s so mild that people don’t even goto doctor, people get better sitting around or even goto work- “they get better”➡️he’s implying it’s so mild it’s okay to do nothing. That’s dangerous message. #COVID19
3) Here is a deep dive by Politico: “[Trump]’s statement (above) undermines what health experts are trying to explain to the public: Even people with mild symptoms should stay home and “self-isolate” because they can spread the virus to others.” #COVID19 politico.com/amp/news/2020/…

NEED TO STOP Seattle➡️Wuhan 2.0: Washington state is at the cusp of a great unchecked outbreak. I once had raised a big ⚠️warning in late January about Wuhan. I’m nearing a high level of concern again - Seattle area is now teetering toward a really dangerous epidemic. #COVID19
2) What could WA officials do? Besides the standard “wash your hands” PSA messages, WA needs to do more to avoid a Wuhan 2.0 epidemic. Not sure if America is ready for a lockdown, but it needs to be part of the conversation. State wide school closures also an option. #COVID19
3) Need to also consider temporary moratorium on all public gatherings+mass events potentially. We need to consider state-funded/mandated free testing for all like NY, more field clinics, and maybe quarantine facilities (more than a mere motel). Free testing+care is key #COVID19.
