For other journos on this. WH/Pence/Taskforce keeps sending out press releases ‘announcing’ migration strategies in hotspot communities. But as far as I can tell in each case they’re simply ‘announcing’ things the local officials have already done.
2/ In the case of one that just went out about New Rochelle it seems like it’s not even that, just some some suggestions mainly abt things like hand washing, telecommuting. For others reporting on this, is this your impressions? I can’t see anything new or actually announced.
3/ Migration/mitigation. Autocorrect.

Note: NYC City Council speaker saying it’s time to close the schools. I suspect schools will be closed or dramatically limited by Monday.
2/ We need to move past the impossible binary btw slowing disease spread and providing social services for at need kids and move on to how you ramp down or close the schools while providing critical support for at need kids. Nor is it just at need. It’s what to do for ...
3/ parents of critical workers who can’t leave kids at home. The answer may be keeping schools open on a limited basis. Even that will reduce density within the schools which is a plus in itself. It is important to remember the kids themselves are going to be okay.

Here's our progress on #coronavirus testing. This is cumulative numbers at the end of each day. Details and explanation here. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/progres…
Here's a different look at the data: growing cumulative number and daily number.
2/ Since I posted these charts the cumulative number has spiked up to just under 14k. Just what constitutes a day here, which day they’re attributed to, can be a little messy given the unevenness of reporting. But broadly speaking, we can see the acceleration continues.

In general, v impressed with actions, communication from #NYS and #NYC. Things are moving quickly. Hopefully there will be a change today. But I think #NYC is making a big mistake resisting canceling big public events like St Patrick's Day parade. I'm no expert. But the ...
2/ experts are speaking very clearly about this. Big public events, even outdoors, especially near a hotspot are a bad idea. There's peer-reviewed research specifically about parades as major vectors of contagion during epidemics like #COVID19.
3/ I know #NYC is balancing many critical equities. The options are all bad. But this seems like a big mistake with potentially grave consequences.

"Tony, why are you asking us to write for someone in a very red part of Georgia who has no chance of winning instead of writing to purged voters in WI or for people like Amy McGrath? My group wants better reasons to write."

This is a question that we receive regularly.
/2

In one form or another, some of our best writers and volunteer group leaders ask us this. It's picking up with regularity as we get further into the 2020 frenzy. So, let me try to address the different points and you can let me know if these answers suffice.

Q: Why do we write in red areas where our Dem candidate has such an uphill battle to win?

A: If we have writing capacity in an otherwise clear calendar, I feel it is a responsible thing to offer as one of the postcarding choices. Being as forthright as possible explaining...

Immigrant Defenders

Out of 156 human beings at #migrantpersecutionprotocols court today in San Diego, only 4 (all from the same family) are represented by an attorney. This means 152 people entered the US this morning to face immigration court alone #thisisnotjustice #dueprocessdenied (thread 1/?)
Sitting in court waiting for IJ O’Connor to come out and a baby is screaming. The “detention officers” from the private security company who are tasked with detaining #mpp families while they go to court are handing out diapers.
Only #mpp cases being heard in San Diego today & a few detained merits by video conference. Each judge has 40+ people on their afternoon docket. Babies & toddlers are crying as we wait for the judge to come in. One mom is breastfeeding her toddler to get him to stop crying.

Somalia's president is no ally against terrorism washex.am/2ZgX3hU
While the U.S. continues to pour money into Somalia, the world’s most corrupt country according to Transparency International ... Farmajo increasingly not only turns his back on reform but also apologizes for, if not endorses, terrorism.
A decade of throwing money at the problem is only making matters worse.

Farmajo’s statement suggesting al-Shabab attack Somalia’s neighbors more than Somalia underscores the failure.

I vetted a press release yesterday titled "Instagrammable Spots You Won’t Want to Miss in XYZ." This is problematic on so many levels. I wanted to throw my hands up in despair, cry, run away, throttle my inbox. Instead, let's break things down here. /1
There's been a lot of talk lately about whether Instragram is ruining the travel experience. In fact, 48% of Instagram’s 1 billion users say they rely on the social media platform to help find new destinations to travel to. /2
Instagram is an easy way to get eyes on a destination. We are bombarded with information that says Instagram - and Instagram influencers - should be part of your #marketing strategy. /3

I see this thread from last year is getting another round of attention. Results of our randomised trial to test the effect of press releases on the news are now in-press with @BMCMedicine so stay tuned! cc @adamsrc86
We’ve just published the next step in our journey to understand the role of press releases in science news. It’s without doubt the most off-the-wall & unexpected research project I’ve ever been involved in.

Our latest foray was a real-world experiment on the news media itself.
That’s right. We did an experiment on the news.

We took press releases on health-related science, altered them before they were issued to journalists, and then studied what effect the changes we made influenced science reporting.
