🦠 Microbe and 😷 Face With Medical Mask have both seen a considerable rise alongside the global spread of COVID-19, according to Emojipedia page view data.

🤕 Face with Head-Bandage is used as a control in this data set, and shows no similar increase.

Surprised to see 😂 Face With Tears of Joy as most used emoji in coronavirus tweets? Possible explanations:

a. It's such a popular emoji; it is being used no more in coronavirus tweets than others
b. People joking or making light of coronavirus news
c. Combination of the above
By introducing a control ranking we can determine how much *more* popular an emoji is in a coronavirus-related tweet than in a regular tweet

This boosts emojis which aren't usually popular, and gives a somewhat clearer indication of which emojis have an increase for this topic

My research indicates there are four key elements that could potentially collapse the medical system of a given nation in response specifically to the #coronavirus, and we will use the US as the example, any one of which can be fatal, and every one of which is a problem. 1/n
The four critical areas for #Covid19 are:
1) Lack of PPE (masks) leading to loss of workers (HCW)
2) Lack of antiviral drugs (Remdesivir/Chloroquine) for stabilization of patients
3) Lack of ICU bed capacity
4) Lack of Ventilators for oxygen support
2/n
As the Washington Post reported and @LizSpecht covered brilliantly last week (threadreaderapp.com/thread/1236095…), we have sufficient mask capacity at current production and consumption to protect our workers in health care (HCW) for two days under proper usage guidelines. 3/n

From James Robb, MD FCAP (thread via @SusanVermazen)

"When I was a professor of pathology at UC San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (in the 70s).

#CoronaVirus
#COVIDー19
@thespybrief
"I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.
"The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April. Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take.

Looks like @0ctoberReignz is onto something here... the image we have been bombarded with as being “Coronavirus” (specifically 2019-nCoV) is not an actual image of #COVID. It’s a rendition of another virus. In fact, we barely have a decent image of COVID at all!
Here is the best image we have of #COVID / #Coronavirus from the #Wuhan outbreak... this is it... this is the real image.

Doesn’t exactly look like the pretty modeled image we saw just a moment ago does it? Nope... not at all!
What we DO have... is a Electron Scanned Microscopic image of Influenza A... as correctly pointed out by @0ctoberReignz ... so... WTF??

There is definitely something way way off going on here

Coronavirus #COVID -19 appears to be jumping at a rate of 117 new cases per hour. Monitoring closely as this seems to indicate a faster rate of infection than was previously reported. Could be an anomaly. The deaths did not jump however... so that’s good.
