Thank you to every person who reached out and allowed me to interview them for this upcoming story with my colleague @JackRodgersCNS. Story is almost ready to be put to bed. Looking forward to sharing it with you.
Story is filed and submissions for this are no longer needed. But please, whistleblowers at CDC, public or private health labs - my DMs and emails are always open if you have something to report.
Over the last week I spoke with several people about their experience trying to get tested for #coronavirus. I dug into their stories & tapped experts for their insight on this pandemic and the blooming public health crisis.

UPDATE: Gohmert has put his objections aside, the House emergency aid pkg for #covid19 relief has passed w/technical corrections addressed and now it goes to the Senate. Expecting it to pass the Senate tomorrow.
In fairness, I should be more clear that it is expected but passage could very well drag out this week. The Senate is known to do that from time to time, after all.

The presence of automation is particularly notable among the most prolific accounts. 157 accounts tweeted about #coronavirus at least 100 times during the 24 hour period in question, 126 of which (80.3%) are automated.

THREAD: On #Coronavirus, we may be entering a period of accelerating cases. The country could look very different over next two weeks. We’ll get through this, but need to take steps now to limit the scope and impact of virus. There are things we can do now to help ourselves. 1/n
2/n In last 10 days Italy diagnosed 95% of total cases they now report; South Korea 85%. 2 weeks ago, Italy had just 9 cases. 7 weeks ago, China reported 50 cases. The point: once the epidemics are discovered, they’ve been underway. Case counts grow quickly. Same likely true here
3/n What should we do now? Moving quickly and aggressively to mitigate spread, reduce the scope of the epidemic here, continue to ready the healthcare system, work with cities and states to develop a uniform, systematic response; provide financial assistance to help these efforts

A really heartbreaking sight. The sacrifices from health workers in China have been immense.
This is the context of that video, reportedly related to the death of hospital director Liu Zhiming.
This is making the rounds, claiming to be Chinese escaping the country into Vietnam. I'm almost certain that it is misrepresented, and that this is not true.

THREAD: As a PM my main task is stock selection but at times like this I must take on events. This is my attempt on understanding the virus in live fashion, mostly I will ask questions out loud in order to know what answers I seek. Most important Q how big/bad can this get?
2/ Natural Factors to consider; natural transmission rates (how easily the virus spreads or is transmitted), incubation periods (long), symptoms are hidden (latent reaction), and then mortality rates...so far early imperfect data on all of these seem to point to a big problem
3/ Transportation Networks to consider; global and local network nodes, Air travel is more global than ever and we are seeing minute by minute small number of cases turn up globally, while inner city travel in China will determine how bad things get within China

On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).
