👏🏼GOOD NEWS: @GatesFoundation-funded program to offer *home-test kits* for #coronavirus in #Seattle. People will send a nose swab and get results in 1-2 days. Online forms will be used to trace & quarantine contacts of #COVID-positive people.

@thespybrief
seattletimes.com/seattle-news/h…
When the system is up and running, people in the #Seattle area who think they might be infected with the #coronavirus can fill out a questionnaire online. If their symptoms are consistent, they can request a test kit, which will be **delivered to their home within 2 hours(!)**.
The best way to contain the #CoronavirusOutbreak:

▶️EARLY detection
▶️Contact tracing
▶️Quarantines

This Gates program is fantastic, especially because those suspected to be infected with #coronavirus don’t even have to leave their home.

I appeared on @SkyNews and hammered Trump for completely bungling his response to the #CoronavirusOutbreak.

"Trump is going to try to spin this, but what he's going to find...is that you can't spin death.

“It’s pretty clear what the Trump Administration’s priorities have been. It’s been the (financial) market, his political future, rather than the lives of the American people.”

Q: is (Trump) not being the calm voice of reason?

Me: No...it’s the calm voice of complete disinterest and fecklessness. He’s ignoring an ongoing crisis....that is very likely going to spiral out of control and get very bad, very very quickly.

‼️For weeks, thousands of samples sat in #Seattle as researchers sought to test them for #coronavirus, but @CDCgov wouldn’t allow it.

“We felt like we were sitting, waiting for the #pandemic to emerge. We could help. We couldn’t do anything.”🤬
nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/…
While the CDC failed to provide working #COVID19 tests, private and university clinical labs, which typically can develop their own tests, were frustrated about the SLOWNESS of the FDA as they prepped applications for emergency approvals from FDA for their #coronavirus tests.🤬
This is damning. While the Trump Administration LIED that there would be 1 million tests last week, instead there were countless untested samples in the “hot zone” of #Seattle that could have been tested EARLY, but were BLOCKED.

How many people were infected because of this⁉️

⚠️#COVID19 cases increase exponentially.

#China
1/23: 444 cases
1/30: 4,903
2/6: 22,112

#Italy
2/22: 62
2/29: 888
3/6: 4,636

Trump bungled #coronavirus testing, so the reported 729 US cases are just a fraction of the real cases.

Expect a MASSIVE surge.
theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Even if this #coronavirus is seasonal as predicted AND the US employs aggressive containment (broad testing, contact tracing, quarantines), we still will see a MASSIVE surge in cases, because people have already been infected (2-week incubation + ~5 days for symptoms).
Containment can and will decrease the rate of #coronavirus spread. But if the US doesn’t adopt rigorous containment efforts NOW, the number of new #COVID19 cases will be MUCH higher than already predicted.

Thinking about a low cost easy to manufacture home test kit for #Coronavirus. Outline: #Nasal_swab (Q-tip) w/ freeze dried reagents for isothermal #DNA amplification with #COVID19 primers. Colorimetric readout by #iOS or #Android #App w/ #geolocation & #HIPPA compliant reporting.
Read-out would be in minutes - timer in App - read by camera in your smart phone. No other machines. Links to telemedicine groups for positive results. Built in positive control - e.g. no color = improper test, green NEGATIVE, red POSITIVE.
I’ve done my best creating when faced by a challenge. Next gen sequencing when my son went to new born intensive care - #454 @iontorrent. Ultrasound on a chip @ButterflyNetInc when wanted to monitor my daughter’s kidneys.

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.
