FYI - I have a confirmed case of #covid19 aka #coronavirus. If you interacted with me in person after 2/23, you can cite that fact and get automatically tested. Otherwise you might have to go to the ridiculous efforts I had to in order
to get a simple test that other countries have given to their citizens by the hundreds of thousands (the U.S. isn’t even at 21K tests). #COVIDー19 #coronavirus #CoronavirusOutbreak
Finally, I apologize if I inadvertently and unknowingly infected you. I self-quarantined as soon as I had clear symptoms - but people can transmit before they’re symptomatic, which is another reason for a robust testing regime. #covid19 #coronavirus
Stay safe, stay home, keep calm, be well. Good night! #coronavirus #CoronavirusOutbreak #COVID2019 #covid19 #coronavirusnewyork

Folks, this #CoronavirusOutbreak is no joke. I’ll give you occasional updates, tweeting from “Above the Hospital Bed,” about how serious #COVID19 aka #coronavirus can be. Think of this as #LatsCovid19Journal, my thoughts on #LivingWithCovid. [Thread]
A bit about me: I’m a generally healthy, 44-year-old male, 153 lbs. (surely less now), 5’7”, no drugs , rarely drink, no health conditions other than exercise-induced asthma, which I manage with an inhaler. #COVID19 #coronavirus #LatsCovid19Journal
I completed the NYC Marathon twice - not the greatest times, but I did - and even now that I can’t run much (knees post-40), each week I still walk 25 miles and go to at least 3 high-intensity interval training classes at the gym. #LatsCovid19Journal #COVID19

THREAD, re: this frequently raised point: "OK, maybe Judge Kavanaugh didn't commit perjury. But wasn't his testimony misleading/incomplete/not totally forthcoming? Shouldn't we demand more for #SCOTUS?" #KavanaughHearings #KavanaughConfirmationHearings
1. At the outset, thanks to everyone for their thoughtful engagement with my tweets evaluating the "perjury" claims against Kavanaugh, which I deeply appreciate (even -- or especially -- when folks disagree with me). Sorry I can't respond to all individually.
2. The Kavanaugh testimony being evaluated for truthfulness comes from his judicial confirmation hearings -- in 2004 and in 2006, for the D.C. Circuit, and last week, for #SCOTUS. One needs to keep this important fact in mind at all times.

THREAD. "Perjury" claims against Judge Brett Kavanaugh re: NSA surveillance.

1. I've done long threads on claims that Kavanaugh "perjured" himself re: Pryor & #Memogate. This thread will be shorter. #SCOTUS #KavanaghHearing #KavanaughConfirmationHearings
2. Those two prior threads were long not because the claims have any merit, but just because I tried to go through all the evidence in methodical fashion.

Thread #1 (Pryor):

Thread #2 (Memogate):
3. The shortest refutation of the NSA claim: read the last ten (10) paragraphs of this article by @Charlie_Savage of @NYTimes - which is a news article, not an opinion piece, from a publication that's far from pro-Kavanaugh. The End. nyti.ms/2Ctpfak

I'm an advanced nurse practitioner. Our team is responsible for looking after the hospital at night, the sickest patients, those who need CPR. I've just finished my first 3 shifts since the corona virus outbreak in Scotland #covidー19uk

It was difficult and everyone is scared. Here are some things;
-to all the people who can and are working from home, I applaud you. It's not mandatory, you're just taking responsibility for the things you can affect which makes you a hero!
-this will not last forever
-I feel more scared and panicked when I feel helpless. But we're not. We can self isolate, distance ourselves socially and practice excellent hand hygine.
-this will not last forever.
-every one person who stays healthy, is one less who will potentially need a hospital bed

To our @Grubhub community,

I wanted to personally connect with you about the actions we’re taking to help you, our restaurant partners, and our drivers, to ensure the health and safety of everyone while supporting our entire community.

With dine-in down as much as 75%,
local restaurants need our support more than ever. As their partner, it is Grubhub’s responsibility to step up during this difficult time. So, we are deferring commission fees for impacted independent restaurants.

Delaying our revenue will increase the restaurant's cash flow,
allowing them to pay their employees and weather this difficult situation. We are also matching all promotions run by independent restaurants with our Smart Promotions feature, to help make their investments in growth twice as effective.

To provide additional financial relief

Some thoughts on our collective reaction to #COVIDー19/#CoronaVirus:

Those who think the health effects have been overblown are likely right. It’s NOT likely as deadly as some have predicted & it’s NOT going to be as widespread in the US as it has been in other countries 1/
But here’s the rub: we’re still *under reacting*. We need to continue closing down large events, suspending schools, working from home — we should be seeking & embracing a month of *social isolation* not just *social distancing* Why?
2/
The issue w/ #CoronaVirus is how fast it spreads. It is going to overwhelm our institutions. Period.

The cascade of chaos will cause far more suffering than the virus. We need to throttle this thing. We can’t snuff it out entirely, but minimizing the impact is priority
