It's been a week, and the team at Twilio wants you to know we're thinking about everyone impacted by the changes COVID-19 has brought in the last few days. We've also got some great resources to help you as we navigate the unexpected place we've found ourselves.
First, our team at Twilio.org created a resource with communications best practices government agencies and public health groups can follow to combat COVID-19 spread and misinformation, based on our experience in the field. twilio.com/blog/coronavir…
If your organization would like more guidance on how to build solutions or would like to partner together on your work addressing the outbreak, we're here to help. Reach out to coronavirus@twilio.com.
No one likes to wait for answers to questions regarding health issues, especially when there is a lot of uncertainty and conflicting information. Justin Herman, Twilio's Global Head of Public Sector, shares more on @Nextgov. nextgov.com/it-modernizati…
We've also released open-source video conferencing apps for iOS, Android, and web. With this, you can deploy a video collaboration app in five minutes or less. twilio.com/blog/open-sour…
If your PBX solution does not natively allow for remote working and you need to act fast, this solution is for you. Learn how to create a solution with Twilio Programmable Voice and softphone software that enables employees to work from their homes. twilio.com/blog/enable-wo…
For the safety of our community and employees, we've postponed #SIGNALConf and will now be hosting it September 30-October 1. We've also canceled all of our events through May 31. twilio.com/blog/twilio-ev…
We'll continue to provide additional resources in the coming days, and we trust that our community will rally together during this time. Stay safe, stay healthy, and we can't wait to see what you build.

@peterjukes @BorisJohnson 1/. It was actually TEN days ago that @BorisJohnson first mentioned the ‘take in on the chin’ theory.

He told it to @Schofe & @hollywills on #ThisMorning on Thursday, 5 March.

A clip of him saying this was tweeted by @mvdct on the same day.

What happened next was remarkable...
@peterjukes @BorisJohnson @Schofe @hollywills @mvdct On Sunday evening, after a tip off from @CereinynOrd (follow her for #coronavirus), I tracked down the clip of the interview.

The clip beings with Boris saying: "One of the theories is, that perhaps you could take it on the chin, take it all in one go..."
@peterjukes @BorisJohnson @Schofe @hollywills @mvdct @CereinynOrd 3./ He goes on: "...& allow the disease, as it were, to move through the population, without taking as many draconian measures. I think we need to strike a balance."

To me there were two possible explanations for what Boris had said.

The second far more chilling than the first.

As a Hong Konger, I continue to be baffled by the public response in Europe. Though most are concerned, many are still acting like it's nbd. HK was in the news because of #COVIDー19 a month ago. There are travel advisories against HK. Peopled abroad asked me about it. 1/
There are STILL only ~130 cases in Hong Kong. There are now 798 cases in the UK & ppl are still out & about as if nothing is wrong. When I was in Milan (at a time when there were 3,000 cases), I was shocked at the lack of concern, including from police & health workers. 2/
When I was in Milan, I didn't understand how relaxed people were, and I felt like I was the crazy one. I kept trying to convey my disbelief and the severity of the situation to my colleagues, and how worried it made me for Italy – and Europe. 3/

#COVID-19: It’s possible to get infected a 2nd time. People recovered by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart, and when they get it the 2nd time, the antibody makes it worse, and they die of sudden heart failure.

I don't find this unexpected. We had similar results in the study of SARS. Challenge with the virus after vaccination actually made the resulting disease worse. One theory is this may be due to an overactive immune response due to a cytokine storm.
What I find really troubling is doctors in China had to report this anonymously to avoid communist censorship. We are not getting the whole story here. Keep in mind we don't yet know how many cases this involves and we'll have to wait for more case studies in other countries.

My take on NH results: Bernie is an extremely vulnerable frontrunner, if he can be called that at all. He underperformed badly against expectations and would have lost without the Amy surge. He won with the smallest margin in modern memory and lost 60 percent of his 2016 support
in a neighboring state where he enjoys a significant homefield advantage.This shedding of support is only partly attributable to having more rivals. It suggests that his big 2016 win was anti-Hillary sentiment more than support for his “revolution”. Bernie owns about one quarter
of the Democratic Party, which is not enough to win the nomination.He is in better shape than all rivals except Biden (whose campaign is on life support) with POC but has a boulder in his path next week in Nevada. The Culinary Workers Union, which represents casino employees and

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture

Minor #HealthCare observation, been thinking about this for a few days, wasn't going to bother with the write-up, but I've seen multiple messages from friends and colleagues the past few days that have moved me in this direction, so…
Because I am now An Old, I recently jacked up a shoulder and a hip, for which I was prescribed physical therapy at a GREAT PT center. Two separate incidents, but the treatment kind of overlapped.
As the hip got better fast and the shoulder got better slower, I got to a point where my hip "prescription" (chronologically, first) ran out, so we concentrated more on shoulder.
