Hi! You can help stop the spread of Coronavirus in New York City. 1- wash your hands. 2- avoid unnecessary travel and gatherings. 3- mind your neighbors. We can all get through this together- if we change our own behavior, we can save the lives of others and stop the spread.
We don't know if this is disease that will persist across seasons yet- another reason to try to stop it now. If it is one and done like SARS, we will rejoice. It is up to us to show the discipline to shield our most vulnerable.
50 million people were quarantined in Hubei. 16 million now behind a cordon in Italy. What will we have to do to stop the spread here? Let's start by volunteering to change our behaviors.

Here is the problem with our information ecosystem in one quote tweet. I see Kevin's dunk and thousands who agree share it. Thousands more just see Rudy's falsehood. Those thousands believe Rudy, regardless, and never see Kevin's riposte.
In a normal time, this is bad, but not deadly. But not when the stakes are high. Not when there is a virulent disease spreading, when millions of microactions by millions of people determine how bad it gets. Right now, this kind of flaw is a mortal threat.
Let me be clear- @KevinMKruse is doing his best. But the game is rigged against us all.

Cuomo says Westchester hotspot- New Rochelle in particular- is because of a large religious gathering.
"This is not the Ebola virus. The panic is unwarranted.... so we have 142 cases. Only 8 of the 142 are hospitalized. Those are people who have an underlying illness."
Says New Rochelle schools will be closed for weeks.

New York up to 76 cases- 11 in NYC, says @NYGovCuomo. That is +7 in NYC since yesterday, 2 from a cruise, 5 community spread.
Nursing homes, assisted living, senior housing in New Rochelle suspending outside visitors.
Cuomo says some people on voluntary quarantine are not following the rules. He says it does not honor your responsibility as a citizen. If you do not comply, there are other measures the state may take.

a Good Thread on coronavirus. It behaves a lot like the flu: lots of people don't even show symptoms when they're infected.

That's kind-of good news (low mortality for most folks). But also means it's easy to spread unknowingly.

SO, do preemptive hygiene- wash your hands, avoid touching your face, no handshakes-

basically behave as if coronavirus is already in your town.

This will slow it down a LOT.

That saves lives. It keeps hospitals from getting slammed with bajillions of sick people all at once.
let's do it bishes let's wash our hands a lot & keep this virus frustrated about its limited travel opportunities

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?
